Netra CT Server Hardware Upgrade Guide

This guide contains procedures and important information for upgrading a Netra CT 410 server or Netra CT 810 server with the new Netra CP2500 board. This guide provides high-level processes and procedures for replacing an operational:

• Netra CP2140 cPCI host board and rear transition module
• Netra CP2160 cPCI satellite board and rear transition module

If you want to use the Netra CP2500 board as a node processor in a third-party cPSB chassis, refer to the Netra CP2500 Board Installation and Technical Reference Manual.

If you want to add a Netra CP2500 board to a new system, refer to the Netra CT Server Service Manual. New systems have the required software and hardware preinstalled, and the Netra CP2500 board hardware is preconfigured. New systems are shipped with one Netra CP2500 board installed in the host slot.
