Software Compatibility; Usable Circuit Packs; Wireless Systems; Antistatic Protection - Avaya MCC1 Installation And Upgrades

Release 9si/10si/Communication Manager 1.x to Communication Manager 2.1
Task list: R9si/10si/Communication Manager 1.x to Communication Manager 2.1

Software compatibility

Before starting the upgrade, always check the Software Release Letter that accompanies the system
removable media. Translation corruption occurs if incompatible software is loaded. Also check the
Minimum Vintage Table, which is included with the letter, before starting the upgrade.

Usable circuit packs

Every circuit pack used must conform to the minimum usable vintage requirements for that system. At a
presale site inspection, the remediation process checks the vintages of existing circuit packs to be reused.
Replace all unusable vintage circuit packs with current vintages.
Refer to the Software Release Letter for information about usable circuit pack vintages. For information
about usable vintages of non-U.S. circuit packs, refer to the ITAC Tech Alert from your regional
distributor.

Wireless systems

If the system uses Wireless Business System, you need to re-enable the radio controllers after the
upgrade. Refer to Chapter 1, "UTAM Disablement" in the DEFINITY® Wireless Business System
Maintenance (555-232-103) book. Refer also to Chapter 2, "Switch Administration" in DEFINITY®
Wireless Business System Installation and Test (555-232-102).

Antistatic protection

CAUTION:
When handling circuit packs or any components, always wear an antistatic wrist ground
strap. Connect the strap to an approved ground such as ground jack.
