TeraScale to ExaScale Upgrade Procedure 2
Upgrading Hardware
ExaScale SFM Requirements
E-Series ExaScale systems and FTOS Release 8.1.1.1 require SFM version 752-00265-03 Rev 01 or higher. Earlier
SFMs do not support line rate following the ExaScale 8.1.1.1 FPGA upgrade.
Do not mix SFMs. All the SFMs in the chassis must run the required minimum software version.
The automatic upgrade process takes place regardless of the SFMs you have installed. If you have one or more
SFMs that are earlier than 752-00265-03 Rev 01, a SYSLOG message (Message 1) appears during the upgrade .
The
show sfm command includes information for any SFM that needs to be upgraded (Figure 3).
FPGA Upgrades
FTOS version 8.1.1.1 introduces an automatic FPGA Upgrade process. It allows easy upgrades to newer SFM
version by implementing an auto-detection of mismatched SFM version. The upgrade to the mismatched SFMs is
done automatically.Manual upgrade are still supported for one or all SFMs.
Warning:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an
ESD-preventive ground strap when handling RPMs, SFMs, or line cards. After you remove the original
packaging, place RPMs, SFMs, and line cards on an antistatic surface.
• Do not supply power to your system until the PEM or Power Supply, Air Filter, Fan Tray are installed and
verified, and RPMs, SFMs, and line cards have been installed.
• To avoid chassis over-temperature condition, install blanks for RPMs, SFMs, and line card slots not in
use. Always replace cards or blanks immediately.
