6 Maintaining Your System
Adding New Modules 63
Quick Reference Guide
The firmware upgrade process occurs for one module at a time. After successful
completion of the upgrade for one module, the system resets after 3 to 10
seconds and begins the firmware upgrade of the next module, if required. The
firmware upgrades begin with modules in the left-most slot to the right-most slot
of the carrier. Once a successful firmware upgrade as been completed for all
modules, all power LEDs are steady green.
Adding New Modules
Adding new modules to an existing 5-slot carrier is very similar to installing the
control unit.
CAUTION:
Before starting, verify that you have batteries installed in the processor
module by viewing the display of the telephone at extension 10.
Follow these steps to add a module to an existing 5-slot carrier:
1 Move the On/Off switch to the “Off” position (“O”).
2 Remove the power cord from the wall outlet.
3 For Release 3.0 and earlier systems, remove the cover:
a Loosen the screw on the lower front of the cover.
b Place one hand on the handle on the bottom front of the cover and place
your other hand on the top of the cover, and gently pull the cover up and
away from the carrier. Be careful not to break the tabs that attach the
cover to the carrier.
4 Before installing a module, remove the clear, plastic protector from the
connector area on the rear of the module by grasping the tabs on the ends
of the protector and lifting.
Use these instructions if you are adding modules to an existing 5-slot
carrier. If you are upgrading from a stand-alone PARTNER ACS
processor module to a 2-slot carrier, see
“Wall-Mounting a Stand-Alone
Processor Module and a 2-Slot Carrier” on page 8 for instructions.
