Upgrading R5r/R6r/R7r to R8r
without Adding Memory
This chapter provides the information necessary to upgrade the software from a 
DEFINITY ECS Release 5r, Release 6r, or Release 7r to a Release 8r system 
without adding memory. The chapter also provides information on replacing the 
tape drive with the optical drive and replacing the UN332B MSSNET circuit pack 
with the UN332C circuit pack, which is required for the optical drive.
The procedures step through a software and hardware upgrade that can be done 
on either a standard reliability or a high or critical reliability system.
There are many configurations of DEFINITY ECS Release 5r/6r/7r in the field, and 
each system can have a unique configuration. This book addresses the most 
common configurations. Also refer to the following books:
— DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Administrator’s 
Guide
— DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server Release 8 Maintenance for 
R8r
NOTE:
If the cabinet is older than Release 5, refer to
