 Introduction

1 Introduction

1.1 Scope
This Operational Instruction describes the procedure to replace a System Control
Switch Board (SCXB) in an Enhanced Generic Ericsson Magazine 2 (EGEM2). This
operation is used either in case of a faulty card or in case of availability of a new
revision of the hardware (spare part handling). This Operational Instruction does
not cover the procedure for replacing SCXB2 with SCXB3.

Some steps in the procedure must be performed on site.

Emitting Diode (LED) on the SCXB to be replaced.

Note: This step must be performed on site.

2. Is the MIA LED turned on?

Yes
Go to Step 5.

Note: This Operational Instruction is referred by another procedure that

has already prepared the board for replacement. No further actions
are needed.

No
Go to Step 3.

Prepare SCXB for Replacement

3. Prepare for manual intervention of the SCXB. Use parameters MAG and SLOT.

Use command REMII.

Note: MAG and SLOT were supplied as prerequisite data to this Operational
Instruction.

4. Wait until the blue MIA LED on the SCXB lights up.

Note: For detailed information on the LED messages, see Additional

Information Section 3.3 on page 13.

Switch to AP Local Mode

5. Switch to Adjunct Processor (AP) local mode.

Use command APLOC.

Note: The prompt changes from (<) to the Ericsson Command-Line

Interface (ECLI). See Ericsson Command-Line Interface for details.

Prepare Hardware Configuration Table for Replacement

6. Print the data of the board to be replaced. List all objects and attributes under
the relevant OtherBlade Managed Object (MO).

7. Check product identity and revision of the spare board.

new OtherBlade MO, set attributes and commit the changes.

Note: Define functionalBoardName as SCXB.

Define bladeProductNumber as the data obtained from the label

on the extractor handle.

11. Check that the new SCX board is properly defined. List all objects and
attributes under the relevant OtherBlade MO.

12. Is the data for the new board correct?

Note: Check carefully that product identity and revision of the new board are
consistent with the data reported on the label on the extractor handle.

Go to Step 15.

No
Go to Step 13.

13. Remove the entry related to the new SCX board from the magazine. Delete
the relevant OtherBlade MO and commit the changes.

14. Redefine the new SCX board. Create a new OtherBlade MO, set attributes and
commit the changes.

Note: Define functionalBoardName as SCXB.

Define bladeProductNumber as the data obtained from the label

on the extractor handle.

Return to CP Mode

15. Return to CP Mode.

Use command exit.
