Preparing for the Upgrade

This section describes preparatory steps that need to be completed before the upgrade. It includes the following sections:

•Accessing ICS System Manager

•Accessing the SPE Windows Interface

•Obtaining Release 2.2.0 Software

Accessing ICS System Manager

Complete the following steps to access ICS System Manager and prepare for the upgrade to release 2.2.0:

Step 1 On a PC, open Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Step 2 In the Location or Address field, enter the following URL, replacing IP address with the IP address of the system processing engine (SPE) running System Manager: 

http://IP address/ics

Step 3 Log in as the super administrator (user ID is admin), and enter your password (the default is admin).

Step 4 Click Login.

Step 5 Record the IP address and slot number of the SPE running System Manager.

Step 6 Record the IP address and slot number of other SPEs in the chassis.

Step 7 Back up system software data. Refer to the Release Notes for the Cisco ICS 7750 for System Software Release 2.x.x for instructions.

Accessing the SPE Windows Interface

Ensure that you can access the SPE Windows interface in either of the following ways, then continue with the "Obtaining Release 2.2.0 Software" section.

•Accessing the SPE Windows Interface Through Terminal Services Client

•Accessing the SPE Windows Interface Through Directly Connected Peripherals

Accessing the SPE Windows Interface Through Terminal Services Client

To access the SPE Windows interface through Terminal Services Client, complete the following steps:

Step 1 On the PC that you use to administer the Cisco ICS 7750, choose Start > Programs > Terminal Services Client > Client Connection Manager.

Step 2 Use the Client Connection Manager to open a Terminal Services connection with the target SPE:

•If you already have a Terminal Services Client connection defined for the target SPE, choose it, and choose File > Connect.

•If you do not have a Terminal Services Client connection defined for the target SPE, choose File > New Connection, and follow the instructions in the wizard, and then choose File > Connect.

The Terminal Services Client window opens. You can use Terminal Services Client to access standard Windows utilities on the SPE, such as Windows Explorer and the Control Panel.

Accessing the SPE Windows Interface Through Directly Connected Peripherals

You can connect a monitor, keyboard, and mouse directly to the SPE to access the Windows user interface, as follows:

Step 1 Connect the monitor cable to the video port on the SPE 310, and power on the monitor.

Step 2 Continue as follows, based on the type of peripherals that you are using:

•USB—Connect a USB keyboard to one SPE USB port and a USB mouse to the other SPE USB port.

•PS/2—Connect the "Y" splitter cable for your keyboard and mouse to the keyboard/mouse port on the target SPE, and then connect your keyboard and mouse to the available ends of the "Y" splitter cable.

Note If you are using the "Y" splitter cable to connect a PS/2 mouse and a keyboard to the SPE, the keyboard and mouse must be connected at or before SPE reboot to be recognized by the operating system. This is not the case with a USB keyboard and mouse, which usually are recognized without an operating system reboot.

Note For a summary of the issues related to the connection of peripherals to SPEs, as well as best practices on how to use peripherals with SPEs, see the "Using Peripherals with SPEs" section in the the Release Notes for the Cisco ICS 7750 for System Software Release 2.x.x.

Note For a list of USB peripherals that have been tested on the Cisco ICS 7750, refer to the "Connecting a Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse to the SPE Card" section in the
Cisco ICS 7750 Getting Started Guide.

Step 3 Use the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to access standard Windows utilities on the SPE, such as Windows Explorer and the Control Panel.
