Chapter 11: Upgrading AT-SBx31CFC to AT-SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric Cards

Guidelines
Here are the guidelines to upgrading the AT-SBx3112 Chassis to the AT-
SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric Card from the older AT-SBx31CFC Card:
 This procedure is disruptive to network operations because it
requires powering off the chassis.
 The AlliedWareNSP management software comes pre-installed on
the AT-SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric Card.
 The AT-SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric Card does not support
versions earlier than 6.18.0 of the AlliedWareNSP management
software.
 Versions 6.18.0 and later of the AlliedWareNSP management
software are not supported on the AT-SBx31CFC Controller Fabric
Card. You have to use the AT-SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric
Card to upgrade the chassis to the AlliedWareNSP management
software.
 You can transfer the configuration file on the AT-SBx31CFC
Controller Card to the new controller card so that the controller and
Ethernet line cards maintain their configuration settings after the
upgrade. However, you have to edit the configuration file with a
text editor before loading it onto the new controller card.
 The text editor that you use to edit the configuration file must be
capable of handling ACSII text and must not insert any special or
hidden characters into the text file.
