Initializing The 8683Posm Module - Nortel 8600 Series Installing

106 Installing Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules and connecting equipment
If you accidentally delete the image file, reset the 8691SF or 8692SF
module and download the file again. For information on how to reset the
8691SF or 8692SF module, see Installing and Maintaining the Ethernet
Routing Switch 8600 Chassis.
If you have one MDA installed, you can proceed to configure the 8672ATME
or 8672ATMM module as described in Using the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM
modules.
You must save your configuration (using either the CLI or Device Manager)
to preserve the configuration changes you made to the 8672ATME or
8672ATMM module across reboots.

Initializing the 8683POSM module

The 8691SF or 8692SF module retrieves the image file to download to the
8683POSM module. First, the 8691SF or 8692SF module searches the
host flash memory for the file, and then the PCMCIA card. The 8691SF or
8692SF module downloads the image file to the 8683POSM module and
identifies which MDAs are installed. The screen displays a message similar
to the following:
Downloading POS image to slot <number> .........Done (file
name and image size.)
If the image file is not found in either the flash memory or the PCMCIA,
the screen displays this message:
POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.
If the image download is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following
message:
Card is off line.
The 8683POSM module requests a redownload from the 8691SF or 8692SF
module, and the screen displays this message:
Redownload requested by POS card in slot <number>.
The 8683POSM module attempts a redownload three times. If the download
is still unsuccessful, the 8683POSM module goes offline and the screen
displays this message:
Redownload of POS card in slot <number> failed maximum 3
times; POS card is offline.
When the 8683POSM module boots, the redownload count is reset to 0.
After the image loads onto the 8683POSM module, it performs a series of
self-diagnostic tests. If the module fails the diagnostics, the screen displays
the following message:
Port <number> for POS card in slot <number> failed
diagnostics.
