8 Make sure the green lights in all the module power supplies are lit before
proceeding to the next column. The red LED for each column remains lit
until the system reloads.
Once the system is running, reattach all covers and panels to the modules
and columns. Module covers must be kept on so the air from the pedestal
fans will be directed up through all the modules and out the exhaust vents
in the top cap. When the module covers are removed, the upper modules
are not cooled properly because the air escapes from the open module
door.
If the module covers are left off and the system overheats, circuit cards
will malfunction and, in extreme cases, melt.
End of Procedure
Installing software
Before you begin
Dependency Lists (DepLists) are the Nortel recommended Product
Enhancement Packages (PEP) for a software release. As common practice,
ensure that you have the latest issue of the DepLists at the time of system
installation. The issue and date of the DepLists is shown on the software
CD-ROM. Refer to the Enterprise Solution PEP Library for the latest issue of
DepLists for the software release.
If the software CD-ROM does not contain the latest issue of the DepLists,
download the latest DepList zip file from the Meridian PEP Library onto a PC
Card. After completing the Software Installation Program (see Procedure 55
on page 311), use the Matrix DepList and PEPs (MDP) commands to install
the Dependency Lists from the zip file.
Refer to the Product Matrix Dependency List User Guide, available on the
Enterprise Solution PEP Library, for more information about accessing and
using DepLists.
Software installation
Follow Procedure 55 to install the software. First install the software on Core/
Net 1, and then repeat the process to install the software on Core/Net 0.
