DEFINITY Made Easy Tools
Issue 3, December 2001
G3V4vs/R5vs/R6vs to R10si (On-Site)
G3V4vs/R5vs/R6vs to R10si (On-Site)
This section provides the information necessary to upgrade a DEFINITY vs (G3V4vs, R5vs, or R6vs) system to an R10si.
The vs cabinet cannot be upgraded to DEFINITY Release 10. To upgrade a vs cabinet, you must change out the vs cabinet and install an si cabinet. You can reuse the port circuit packs from the vs system only if a site inspection determines that the port circuit pack vintages are usable in the R10si.

Before you begin the upgrade
Review the Preparation and process steps carefully. These tables describe the tasks that must be completed before the upgrade visit and who is responsible for them.
To prevent the most common upgrade problems, be sure that you have
- identified the correct TDM bus cables and terminators for the upgraded system
- verified si expansion interface compatibility for packet bus applications:
- checked for software upgrade compatibility and identified any patches that need to be re-applied
- create the license file with RFA
If the new si system will have one or more expansion port network cabinets and will run any packet applications, do not reuse the TN776 expansion interface circuit packs; they must be replaced with TN570 circuit packs.

Ensure that these tasks are complete before the upgrade visit:
- Verify the required hardware [G3V4vs, R5vs, R6vs to R10si]
