5.1.3 Category I–Upgrade Replacement
(Hardware and Software)
Object: Physcial replacement of the CC1, in conjunction with software upgrade or re-
placement.
Assumptions:
• The CC1 to be replaced is part of an existing, operational, system configuration.
• The operational software within the existing CC1 needs to be replaced and/or up-
graded, depending on circumstances covered in the steps below.
1. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 8 of the previous section, ignoring remarks about CC1 status.
Do not, however, reconnect the external PC (containing the MGR program) to the
new CC1 just yet.
The status of the new CC1 and its associated software files are as follows:**
• The latest 9740 executable will reside in the C:\9740 directory on the drive of the
CC1. Backups of the executable are on the Operations and Utility disks that ac-
companied the shipment of the replacement CC1.
• A five-disk set of the latest MGR program also accompanied the shipment.
2. If the software version of your current MGR program is less than that of the MGR pro-
gram in the upgrade package, then the latest MGR software must be installed on your
external PC.
To accomplish that, do the following:
a. Remove your old MGR software according to Appendix V.
b. Install the new MGR software using the five-disk set of the System Manager. Use
the quick-start guide located in Appendix I of this manual for instructions.
3. Connect any new equipment that is part of your hardware upgrade to the appropriate
port(s) on the rear of the CC1, according to the installation instructions found in the
manual(s) accompanying the new equipment.
4. If the equipment connected in step 3 requires updates to your existing configuration
files (which it will if the hardware portion of the upgrade necessitated the use of any
additional Sercom ports), then do the following; otherwise, proceed to step 6:
a. Power-up the external PC containing the MGR program and use the READ utility
to read in your existing configuration set (flat files) into the MGR program (refer to
Appendix IV, if needed).
b. Make the necessary changes in your current configuration files to accommodate
any new equipment. As part of those changes, don’t forget to enter a PIN for the
new equipment in the COMMS file and to assign operator access. Consult the
applicable device manual and the MGR documentation as needed until all the pa-
rameters that need to be changed are taken into account.
c. Save your updated flat files to the database and then use the WRITE utility of the
MGR program to write out the changed configuration set to floppy disk.
d. Copy the new configuration set into the C:\9740 directory of the new CC1 (refer
to Appendix II, if necessary).
5. Reconnect the external PC containing the upgraded MGR software to the new CC1
and load the upgraded configuration set into the C:\9740 directory of the new CC1.
Proceed to step 7.
6. Reconnect the external PC containing the upgraded MGR software to the new CC1
and load your existing flat files into the C:\9740 directory of the new CC1.
7. Repeat step 9 of Section 5.1.2.
**IMPORTANT NOTE
If you are doing an across-the-
board upgrade of the system
software associated with the
CC1 (namely, the MGR program
and the system executable),
then any CM9760-KBD used
with the upgraded system must
also contain software that is
compatible with the upgrade.
