Installing or replacing a K2 Summit Client IP codec module

For a stable K2 Summit Client IP Codec Module installation, make sure that a K2 Summit 9.5 Base Image has been loaded to the system. It is not enough to install the K2 Summit 9.5 Client Software onto a K2 Summit 9.4 based system. The upgrade kit includes a USB flash drive with Base Image installer.

1. Settings must be saved using process documented in the Save settings section of the Installing Software and CPU Carrier Module Upgrades.
2. Power off the K2 Summit system.
3. From the rear panel, remove the blank plate that covers the empty codec module slot.

   

4. Remove an existing codec module as documented in the Codec Module Removal topic.
5. Install the upgrade codec module.

   

   Note: With a firm grip on the metal (EMI) bracket, ensure the board is level and parallel to the card guides to avoid damage to the components.
   CAUTION:

   Improper handling can damage components on the board. Do not allow the board to come in contact with the chassis sheet metal during removal or installation. The components on the edge opposite the rear panel are the most susceptible to damage.
6. Install K2 Summit 9.5 Base Image from the USB drive provided in the kit, or as documented in the Reimage K2 Summit/Solo System section of the Installing Software and CPU Carrier Module Upgrades topic.
7. After the Base Image installation process has completed, restore the settings that were saved in the first step of this process as documented in the Restore Settings After Generic Reimage section of the Installing Software and CPU Carrier Module Upgrades topic.
8. Continue with the remaining tasks in the list on the Installing Software and CPU Carrier Module Upgrades topic [as appropriate] for the K2 Summit system where the K2 Summit Client IP Codec Module is being installed.
