Upgrading R5r/R6r/R7r to R8r
without Adding Memory
This chapter provides the information necessary to upgrade the software from a 
DEFINITY ECS Release 5r, Release 6r, or Release 7r to a Release 8r system 
without ad d ing  memory. The c hap ter also p rovid es information on rep lac ing  the 
tap e d rive with the op tic al d rive and  replac ing  the UN332B MSSNET c irc uit p ac k 
with the UN332C c irc uit p ac k, whic h is req uired  for the op tic al drive.
The p roc ed ures step  throug h a software and  hard ware up g rade that c an b e d one 
on either a stand ard  reliab ility or a hig h or c ritic al reliab ility system.
There are many c onfig urations of DEFINITY ECS Release 5r/6r/7r in the field , and

Service Interruption
The up g rad e p roc ess req uires 2 non–c all-p reserving  servic e interrup tions in a 
stand ard  reliability system and  must b e c losely c oord inated  with the c ustomer 
and  the loc al ac c ount team.
Call Management System (CMS)
The CMS link is dropped and restarted during the upgrade. This causes CMS 
d ata to b e lost. This d ata loss c an be minimized  if the up g rad e is p erformed  just 
after the last CMS measurement interval.
All measurement d ata is lost d uring  the up g rad e (inc lud ing  BCMS). If need ed , 
the reports may be printed before the upgrade begins.
CMS c ould  ab ort the p roc essing of a c all if a measured  trunk that was part of the 
c onferenc e d rop p ed  off the c all b efore the end  of the c all. Customers 
exp erienc ing  this symp tom and  who are running  R3V4 CMS should  upd ate to 
r3v4a or hig her.
Software Compatibility and Translation Errors
Before starting  the up g rad e, always c hec k the Software Release Letter that 
ac c omp anies the system removable med ia. Translation c orrup tion will oc c ur if 
inc ompatib le software is load ed . 
After load ing  the new software, c hec k for translation errors. To d o this, log  in and 
c hec k for a “ Translation Corrup tion Detec ted ”  messag e b efore c ontinuing with 
the up g rad e p roc ess.
If errors are d etec ted , refer to ‘‘No Translations After Upgrade’’
 in Appendix B, 
‘‘Troubleshooting  an Upgrade’’. Do not c ontinue with the up g rad e until the errors 
are corrected. 
Usable Circuit Packs
Every circuit pac k used in the Release 8 system must conform to the minimum 
usab le vintag e req uirements for that system. At a p resale site insp ec tion, the 
remed iation p roc ess c hec ks the vintag es of existing c irc uit p ac ks to b e reused  in 
the Release 8 system. Rep lac e all unusab le vintag e c irc uit pac ks with c urrent 
vintag es.
Refer to 
Technical Quarterly, Referenc e Guid e for Circ uit Pac k Vintag es, Chang e 
Notic es, 
and  to the Software Release Letter for information ab out usab le c irc uit 
p ac k vintag es. For information about usab le vintag es of non-U.S. c irc uit p ac ks, 
refer to the ITAC Tec h Alert from your reg ional d istrib utor.

Software Upgrade
Release 8 software and translations are saved to removable media. Although the 
translations automatic ally up d ate to Release 8, several features req uire sp ec ial

p roc ess.
Between c ustomer c onfirmation and  the ac tual up d ate or up g rad e, c hec k the 
sc reens to ensure the translations meet the c ustomer’s need s. After reb ooting the 
system, enter these translations either loc ally or remotely. If done remotely, 
Contac t Field  Sup p ort Ad ministration Center (FSAC) for the remote entry. For 
information to make the req uired c hang es, refer to:

Power Down the Processor Carrier
!CAUTION:
Do not p ower d own the whole c ab inet; it is not nec essary.
For stand ard  reliab ility, p ower d own the p roc essor c arrier. This c auses a servic e 
interrup tion.
For high or critical reliability, power down the standby carrier.
1. To power down the processor carrier, remove the power plug from the 
left 
sid e
 of the c arrier, then remove the p ower p lug from the rig ht sid e of the 
carrier.
