Adding a Secondary 6500 PLUS Processor with FLASH
Introduction When adding another 6500 PLUS processor card to a node, be sure that all processor
cards are running the same software revision. 6500 PLUS processor cards redistributed
within a network may contain different revisions of software.
When To Add
Another Processor
with FLASH Two situations in which you may add an additional 6500 PLUS processor card with
FLASH memory to a node are when you want to:
• Maintain the current software revision
• Upgrade with software from the new 6500 PLUS processor card
In both cases, the FLASH Enable Option is required.
These situations apply to the 6507 PLUS and 6525 PLUS nodes. A 6505 PLUS node does
not support multiple processor cards.
