Adding a second HSI/P card
Use the following procedures if you are adding a second HSI/P card to a system that is
already in operation. Before you do this procedure, verify that CMS is installed.
To add a second HSI/P card:
1. Verify that you have a recent CMSADM file system backup before you change card
configurations.
2. Log in to the system as root.
3. Enter:
/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i0
This shuts down the system.
4. Turn off the system.
5. Turn off the system monitor.
6. Turn off all external SCSI devices starting with the device that is closest to the system
and working toward the farthest device.
7. Install the second HSI/P card. See Installing or removing
PCI cards on page 66 for
more information.
8. Attach the HSI/P quad cable, and connect the switch links to the quad cable by
following the instructions described in Avaya CMS Switch Connections, Administration,
and Troubleshooting, 585-215-876.
Note:
Note: Do not use serial port “A” to connect switch links when an HSI/P card is
installed. Serial port “A” is used only for single ACD installations. In a
multiple ACD arrangement, all switch links must be connected to an HSI/P
quad cable, to an ethernet port using TCP/IP, or a combination of HSI/P and
TCP/IP connections.
9. Turn on all external SCSI devices starting with the device that is farthest from the
system and working toward the system.
10. Turn on the system monitor.
11. Turn on the system.
12. Press Stop+A simultaneously after the console banner is displayed, but before the
system starts booting.
13. Enter:
boot -r
This reboot the system so that it recognizes the new HSI/P card.
