Lucent Technologies 9076 User Manual

SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2

    D-1

This Appendix provides general information about obtaining and installing new operating 
software (hereafter referred to as machine code) for the SP Switch Router.

                                                              

As is noted in this manual, the SP Switch Router is based on a product from Lucent 
Technologies, Inc. IBM customers order and receive the SP Switch Router from IBM. IBM 
provides all support for this product for IBM customers.

SP Switch Routers are delivered with the current level of machine code already installed. 
Customers who wish to upgrade to new releases of the machine code should contact their IBM 
representative.

     

New releases of the machine code must be obtained from the IBM FTP server:

service2.boulder.ibm.com.

Although a new release of the machine code will correspond to an Lucent release of GRF code, 
only the IBM version of the code will work on the SP Switch Router. Do not try to use GRF 
code releases obtained from the Lucent FTP site on the SP Switch Router. 

Instructions on how to download new releases from the FTP site and install them are included 
in the Release Notes provided with each release. 

The Release Notes are posted on the SP Service and Support web site when a new release 
becomes available. As this is written, the starting page for the SP Service and Support web site 
is: 

http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/support/sp  

Look for 9077 “SP Switch Router” information near the end of the “Service status” pages. 

Terms in the IBM “License Agreement for Machine Code” govern usage of the SP Switch 
Router machine code. A copy of this license is included in this Appendix.
