Power-Failure Stations
During routine system operation, the ground for the power-failure stations is
derived from the system’s auxiliary cable. This ground is disconnected during
the upgrade, thus disabling the power-failure stations. Therefore, a ground strap
must be run to the power-failure transfer panel. Connect this strap shortly after
removing power and disconnect it just before restoring power to the system.
To minimize downtime, power-failure transfer equipment should be tested and, if
need be, repaired before the hardware upgrade begins.
Software
If the customer plans to emulate existing G2 translations in the upgraded
Release 8, then these translations must be copied to a spare tape and sent to
Software Technical Support (STS) so that reports of the current G2 translations
and a G3-MA diskette with basic station translations can be generated. This
process may take several days. STS must return the G2 reports and the diskette
to the Project Manager before the upgrade can begin. For each G2 processor,
retain 2 tapes (1 system tape and 1 backup tape) on site with the G2 system.
After the reports arrive, many features require special attention because of
feature differences, screen changes, and potential naming conflicts in the
upgrade process.
During the upgrade, the Software Specialist should implement DEFINITY ECS
Release 8 translations that are appropriate for the customer’s needs. For
information to make the required changes, refer to:
