  6. Preparation to switch receiving new chassis up-grade • Verify cable labeling at switch: Should have good readability and accuracy • Sup. cards • Fiber (Trunks) • UTP (Console) • Fiber cards • User\Machine direct • Verify accuracy of label • Intermediate Patch (Cisco to distribution panel) • Card\slot and group sequence label • Individual port sequence labels • UTP cards • User\Machine direct • Verify accuracy of label • Intermediate Patch (Cisco to distribution panel) • Card\slot and Group sequence label • Individual port sequence labels • Power Supplies • Power Cords • UPS or building (Shows supply positions)

  12. Chassis Replacement & Power-up • Have second person verify re-cabling. • Setup boot monitor via the console or Network and power-up. • If needed upon boot completion, update switch configuration for any new card changes during up-grade. • Monitor to see if POE devices, VOIP and AP’s, come up. • Call the NOC to verify, Nagios for active alarms related to closet. • Reply to Outage Notice that work is complete.

  13. Post Replacement Clean-up

  14. Post Replacement • Verify all up-graded switch cabling is re-managed and management covers are in place. • Clean up floor of any debris and remove any unnecessary tools or documents. • Place the old chassis and power supplies on the empty E-chassis shipping pallet and transport non E-chassis and hardware back to ML-34, for trade in.
