Business Communications Manager
MSC FRU replacement process
P0607273 03
The procedures in this document replace the procedures in your Business Communications
Manager (BCM) installation and maintenance guide to remove, replace, and configure the
media services card (MSC) field replaceable unit (FRU). These procedures help you correctly
set up the system to receive a new MSC and to download the correct operating files from the
system hard disk.
The procedures to prepare the system for maintenance, and to remove and replace the base
function tray, are the same procedures as found in your installation and maintenance guide.
Warning: Only qualified personnel must perform these procedures. Failure to
follow these steps in sequence to replace an MSC results in an inoperable system.
Ensure that all procedures performed on the hardware occur in a static safe
environment.
Equipment note: BCM200/BCM400
Most internal diagrams in this document show the BCM200 hardware configuration. The
BCM400 base function tray is the same. One exception is that the BCM400 MSC has space for
four processor expansion cards (PECs), whereas the BCM200 supports a maximum of two.
The procedure to remove and replace the tray and the MSC is the same for both models. Any
differences are noted where appropriate,

Before you start
The following list contains items you need to know or tasks you need to perform before and after the MSC
replacement procedure to ensure the integrity of your system.
Before you start the procedure
• Ensure you have access to, or perform a backup to create, the most recent backup of your system data. Store
the backup off the system hard disk and the computer that you use to configure the MSC. For more information
about the Backup and Restore Utility (BRU) procedures, see section “I. Restoring the system to operation” on
page 17.
• Set up a computer to access the text-based menus on the BCM. For information to create these connections, see
your BCM installation guide.
The computer either
• runs VT100 emulation, if you plan to connect to the BCM serial port; or
• runs Telnet or a Secure Shell (SSH) tool such as PUTTY, if you plan to connect to the BCM through a
LAN connection. You need the BCM IP address to make a LAN connection.
• Know the administrator user name and password.
• Note the system ID of the installed MSC that you require when you regenerate keycodes at the end of the
procedures.
• In Unified Manager, the system ID is under System > Licensing.
• In Element Manager, the system ID is under Configuration > System > Keycodes.
• Have a current list of keycodes active on your system.
• Note the MSC version for the system. The version is an internal code. If you do not know which profile the
system runs, you can call technical help and ask to which profile the code belongs.
• In Unified Manager, the code is under Diagnostics > MSC.
• In Element Manager, the code is under Configuration > System > Identification.
Each region setting requires a specific core software to perform correctly. Use BCM monitor to display the MSC
core version and Region.
BCM 4.0 users can select their region using the Cold Reset Telephony Services button in Element Manager under
Administration > Utilities > Reset.
The following table shows the core software available for BCM 3.x and BCM 4.0. BCM 4.0 also supports Brazil
and Poland.

After you finish the procedure
• Use BRU to restore the system telephony data.
• Discover the new MSC system ID, and generate the keycodes for the optional applications installed on your
system. For information about how to generate keycodes, go to Nortel Keycodes Retrieval system (KRS)
http://www.nortel.com/servsup/krs.
A. Preparing the system for maintenance
1 If you continue to have access to the telephony data, then use BRU to create a current system backup.
OR
Ensure you have access to the most recent telephony data backup.
2 If you operate a BCM 3.x system and continue to have access to Unified Manager, then shut down the system
using the Shutdown command, and go to step 3.
OR
If you operate a BCM 4.0 system and continue to have access to Element Manager, then shut down the system
using the Shutdown System button provided under Administration > Utilities > Reset, and go to step 3.
3 Disconnect the AC connection to the BCM hardware from the AC power outlet.

plate screw (use a #2 Phillips screwdriver). Place the screw in a safe location. (Figure 3)
10 Remove the PCI cover plate from the base function tray chassis.
Next Step: You are ready to remove the MSC; see “C. Removing the MSC” on page 8.
Base function tray with WAN card installed
Perform the following procedure if your BCM has a WAN card installed in the base function tray (Figure 3).
1 With the base function tray partially removed from the platform base chassis, perform step 8, step 9, and step
10 in the preceding procedure.
2 Remove the WAN card.
3 Disconnect the DS30 cable connectors from the MSC.
4 Completely remove the base function tray from the platform chassis.

5 Remove the MSC from the base function tray.
6 Place the MSC on a flat, clean, and static-free surface.
7 Remove all PECs from the MSC, and place them in static-safe containers.
Note: If you replace a BCM400 with fewer than four PECs, note from
which slots you removed the cards, and ensure that you replace them into
the corresponding slots on the new boards.
8 Place the MSC in a static-safe container so you can return it to service center.
Next Step: You are ready to prepare the system for the new MSC.
NN40010-315 Media Services Card replacement
D. Performing service configuration commands
Warning: Do not perform this procedure with the MSC installed.
Note: This procedure does not apply to BCM 4.0 systems.
1 Replace the base function tray into the BCM housing, ensuring that the DS30 MSC cables are not caught
behind the tray.
2 Lock the unit in place.
3 Restore AC power to the main unit only.
4 Connect the computer you are to use to access the system to the serial port on the BCM.

H. Loading the MSC software for BCM 4.0
The autoCoreUpload application detects the core software version on the MSC and automatically uploads the core
software. The upload takes approximately 16 minutes and occurs before all services start.
If the autoCoreUpload application cannot detect the core software, you need to perform a cold reset of your
BCM 4.0 system using Element Manager; see Performing a cold reset.
Performing a cold reset
Caution: A cold reset of telephony services erases all telephony programming,
as well as all Voice Message mailboxes and messages. Telephony services restart
with all telephony programming at default values for the specified region,
template, and start DN, for the current software release.
Use Element Manager to perform a cold reset of your BCM 4.0 system.
1 Start Element Manager.
2 Connect to your BCM 4.0 system.
3 Click the Administration tab.
4 Open the Utilities folder, and then click Reset.
The Reset panel appears.
5 Click Cold Reset Telephony Services.
The Cold Reset Telephony Services dialog box appears.
NN40010-315 Media Services Card replacement
6 Configure the Cold Reset Telephony attributes and check the Force MSC download box.
7 Click OK.
Next Step: You are ready to restore the system to operation.
I. Restoring the system to operation
When the system restarts, the power and system LEDs on the front of the BCM are solid green,
1 Use BRU to perform a telephony data restore to the BCM system from the latest system backup files. Restore
only the telephony data from the backup.
If you operate a BCM 3.x system, see “Restoring BCM settings for BCM 3.x” on page 19. If you operate a
BCM 4.0 system, see “Restoring BCM settings for BCM 4.0” on page 25.
MSC FRU replacement process 17
2 After the telephony data restore succeeds, test the telephony services by making an internal and external call
and verify DNS are correct.
3 After you configure your system so that it functions correctly, you can enter the keycodes for the optional
applications:
a Ensure you have the System ID of the previous MSC, which you recorded when you performed the Before
you start tasks, and the system ID of the new MSC, which is found in Unified Manager under System >
Licensing or in Element Manager under Configuration > System > Keycodes.
b Go to the Nortel Keycode Retrieval System (KRS) Web site (http://www.nortel.com/servsup/krs) and
follow the instructions to regenerate keycodes.
c Enter the regenerated keycodes into your system in Unified Manager under System > Licensing or in
Element Manager under Configuration > System > Keycodes.
Note: Some keycodes require you to reboot the system.
If you use Unified Manager, select System > Logoff > Reboot.
If you use Element Manager, select Administration > Utilities > Reset.
d Test the client application functionality.
Your system is now operating normally.
