NAC 2 system. No hardware changes are required. Platform upgrades If you are currently using a NAC 1 system and are upgrading to a NAC 2 system, a platform upgrade must be completed, providing you have made the necessary hardware changes.
Page 195: Retained Port Assignments
For example, if a 32-port NAC 2 system was upgraded to a 24-port NAC 2 system, the port assignments for the first 24 ports would be retained from the previous NAC 2 system.
Page 196: Backups
Any data lost between when the backup was taken and when the failure occurs can sometimes be recovered (depending on the nature of the failure). Ensure that a backup tape is in the NAC tape drive for the midnight backup.
Page 197: Reentry Points
5-6 Software installation overview Reentry points NAC 2 software has four installation reentry points that can be used if a problem occurs during the software installation. If a software installation must be aborted at some point, the installation can be restarted from the last successfully completed section of the installation.
Page 198: Installation Tapes
Keep tapes away from excessive heat or electromagnetic radiation. Figure 5-1 shows the correct method for inserting a tape cassette into the tape drive of a NAC 2 system. Make sure the arrow on the label points towards the drive, and that the notch in the cassette tape is pointing down.
Page 199 Generic Operating System tape NAC Application tape To insert or remove a cassette tape from the NAC 2 module’s tape drive, the front panel may be removed for short periods of time. If you do not need to access the module shortly afterwards, make certain that the front panel is properly replaced.
