GROWTH AND DEGROWTH

August 2004
8. GROWTH AND DEGROWTH
Overview
Note: Although procedure steps involving software commands can be performed via
the ASM (via an OA&M cut-through), someone must be present at the DRM office to
perform any hardware portions.
The term growth, relative to switch hardware, refers to the addition of equipment
units to the office and/or the expansion of equipment units already present. The term
degrowth refers to the removal of equipment units and the removal of packs or circuits
from an equipment unit. All of the equipment which may be grown must also be
considered for degrowth. The procedures in this chapter refer to hardware in the DRM
office.
