Avaya G650 Replacement 2

[coldblaze]

I need to replace a G650 cabinet and have been looking for a single document on a standard procedure to replace a G650 but have not found anything.

Is there a generic process to follow when replacing a G650? Or do you simply follow the procedures outlined for replacing the individual circuit packs and simply power down the G650 and replace with the new one?

For reference, I have some TN2224, TN746, TN464, TN2602 and TN2312.

I've never done an actual swap, so maybe someone can chime in with more solid advice, but I would:
Just power down the G650, swap out the parts and ensure that you have the bus terminators and paddles (ABCDE selector) in the same spots. Then power it back on.
Don't forget to ground.

Thanks. What I was assuming is that there must be a general procedure to campon-busy out trunks to the G650, interchange your IPSI's and TN2602 boards to the duplicate cabinet and then power down and exchange. That is the general kind of instruction I was looking for. I am also wondering if a G650 can be swapped out without any modification to the CM translations?

You need to shut down the entire port network, not just the g650 you want to replace. If you have multiple port networks then you will want to busy the cards in the affect port network. once all are busied out the pull the power, swap the chassis and replace the cards in the same slots and power on. Release you busy outs and you should be back in service.

Be carefull when you remove and replace the terminators and TDM bus cable(s).

Thanks. So there is no way to do this non destructively, or without outage. What is the reason the entire PN has to be taken down?

There is a TDM Bus cable that loops from cabinet-to-cabinet within the Port Network. There are Bus Terminators at each end of the TDM string. Without the cable & terminators there will be no communication within the PN.

Thanks everyone.
