Introduction

NN43021-469 Standard 01.01 May 2007
This document implements a "source- to-target" approach to performing an
upgrade. It is important to correctly identify the source platform, target
platform, and maintenance window required to perform the upgrade.
This upgrade requires that the PC you are working from is
equipped with a floppy disk drive and CF reader (or, if a
CF reader is not available, a PCMCIA CF adaptor).
Each section features check boxes indicating what state the system should be
in at that stage of the upgrade. If the system is not in the proper state steps
should be taken to correct this.
Each section is written to maintain Dial Tone where possible and limit service
interruptions.
Before attempting any software or hardware upgrade field personnel should
follow the steps in Table 2:
