CPU Cards

Install a single 8000-CPU Card into slot C1 of the system chassis (see note below) and power
back up the system.
Note: Powering the shelf with two brand-new 8000-CPU processors in C1 & C2 slots can
result in a 'race' condition since neither 8000-CPU processor has created a valid,
initial database. Install a single 8000-CPU processor and get the shelf up and
responsive first.
Login to the shelf. Ensure that the 8000-CPU card reflects that it is in the C1 slot. Should the
8000-CPU appear in the C2 slot of the main menu screen, then the card has not fully engaged
with the backplane. Power down the shelf, remove and firmly insert the 8000-CPU again in
the C1 slot, as you re-power the shelf. If the card is still not properly recognized, contact
Zhone GSS.
Insert another 8000-CPU card into slot C2. After installing these cards, verify that the green
LEDs illuminate on their faceplate, with the C2 processor also intermittently flashing its'
yellow LED. If either of the yellow LEDs illuminate's constantly instead, check to see if the
CPU card is registered. If the yellow LEDs are still illuminated, replace the associated cards.
2.8.3

WAN Cards

Install the Wide-Area Network (WAN) Cards (8000-WAN and its variants) into the W1
through W4 chassis slots. Each system can have up to four WAN cards.
After installing the WAN cards, verify that the green LEDs illuminate on the WAN faceplates.
If their yellow LEDs light instead, check that the T1s are active. If the yellow LEDs are still
illuminated, replace the associated cards.

Server Cards

The 8000 supports several server cards. Each system can have up to three server cards, which
fit in slots P1, P2, and P3 of the chassis. Refer to the Server Card Reference Guide for more
information on these and other server cards available with this system.
