Upgrade Cisco IOS if you Install This 4DMT Line Card

Upgrade Cisco IOS if you Install This 4DMT Line Card

February 28, 2000

Applies to ATUC-1-4DMT, revision 800-05262-03 or greater

The enclosed device is an ATUC-1-4DMT line card for use in Cisco 6260 and Cisco 6130 digital subscriber line access multiplexer (DSLAM) systems. To recognize this line card, your Cisco DSLAM must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(8)DA2 or later. This line card cannot operate in a DSLAM running Cisco IOS version is 12.0(8)DA1 or earlier.

Use the show version command to display the version of software running on your Cisco DSLAM. If the Cisco IOS version is 12.0(8)DA1 or earlier, install a newer version.

You can obtain the new software on the web at this location:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/Iosplanner/Planner-tool/iosplanner.cgi?majorRel=12.0

Caution When you boot the DSLAM for the first time after installing Cisco IOS Release 12.0(8)DA2, the DSLAM downloads new microcode to the line cards. The microcode download takes about 35 minutes. During the download period, the Active LED on each line card blinks and the DSLAM does not pass data. Until the download is complete, do not remove cards from the chassis. Do not reboot the chassis. If you interrupt the download, the line card's flash memory might be damaged, making it necessary to replace the card. When the download is complete, the Active LEDs on the line cards stop blinking and the lines train as usual.

You can track the status of a microcode download through software using the command show dsl int atm slot/port. In the resulting display, look at the Line Status field. If the Line Status field says DOWNLOADING MICROCODE, wait a few minutes and check again.
