Important Safety Instructions
WARNING:
The following list provides basic safety precautions that should always be followed when using this product:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
3. Do not drop, bend, or crush the card.
4. Keep the card away from moisture, high temperatures, and direct sunlight.
5. Keep the connector on the card clean.
CAUTION:
Before starting, verify that you have batteries properly installed in the processor module. Extension 10 will
show ChgBat W/PowerOn or ReplaceSysBat W/Power On on the display if the batteries need to be
replaced, or if they are not installed properly. To avoid damage to the processor module or to the card, do not
install or remove the card when power is on.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The PARTNER Remote Access PC Card is a multi-purpose card that accompanies all
PARTNER ACS Release 3.0 and later processors. This PC Card can be used to upgrade
previous versions of PARTNER ACS Release 3.0 and later, to perform backup and restore
functions, and, with additional software (for the PC, not the PARTNER system), it can also be
used to administer the PARTNER system from local and remote locations using a PC.

1 Power down the system before inserting or removing a PC Card.
A) If you have a Stand-alone or 2-Slot Carrier, disconnect the power cord from the power jack on the carrier
and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
B) If you have a 5-Slot Carrier, move the carrier’s On/Off switch to Off (“O”) and unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet.
2 If you do not have a 5-slot carrier or have a system of Release 4.0 or later, go to Step 3. If you have a 5-slot
carrier and a system of Release 3.0 or earlier:
A) Loosen the screw on the lower front of the cover.
B) Place one hand on the handle on the bottom front of the cover, and place your other hand on the top of
the cover. Gently pull the cover up and away from the carrier–be careful not to break the tabs that attach
the cover to the carrier.
3 If your card comes with a write-protect tab, verify that the
write-protect tab on the PC Card is not in the write-protected
position. If it is, use a paperclip or another pointed object to push the
write-protect tab on the end of the PC Card upward to the
nonprotected position.
If your new PC Card is a Software Upgrade Card, or if you are
using your PARTNER Remote Access PC Card to upgrade your
processor, remove all other PC Card(s) from the PC Card slot(s)
on the processor module by gently pulling each card straight
out (with the power off).

4 To insert the PC Card, hold it with the label facing to the right, and
slide it gently into one of the PC Card slots on the processor
module. When inserted properly, the PC Card projects about
1-5/8” (4 cm) from the module.
5 Power up the system:
A) Reconnect the power cord.
CAUTION:
The power cord should hang straight down from the
connector, flush against the plastic case for the entire
length of the board. Do not install the power cord at an
angle to the case or with a loop in it.
B) If you have a 5-Slot Carrier, move the carrier’s On/Off switch to the “On” position “(–)”.
6 Check all green lights on the front of the modules. If any lights are out, do the following:
A) If a single light is out, power down the control unit, reseat the module, then power up the control unit.
B) If multiple lights are out, power down the control unit, reseat the leftmost module that has a light out, then
power up the control unit.
C) If the lights are still out, contact your local Authorized Dealer or, in the continental U.S. only, call the Avaya
Customer Care Center at 1 800 628-2888 (for PARTNER ACS).
7 If you are upgrading your system and you have verified that the upgrade was successful by using Feature 59,
do the following:
A) If you are using a one time use upgrade card, power down the system by following the instructions in
Step 1. Then, remove the PC Card by gently pulling the card straight out.
B) If you are using the PARTNER Remote Access PC Card, leave the card in the slot for future use in
performing backup/restore functions or remote administration functions.
C) If you need to reinstall other cards, power down the system by following the instructions in Step 1 and
replace any PC Cards you removed in Step 3.
D) If you powered down the system, repeat Steps 5 and 6 then proceed to Step 8.
■If you are upgrading your system, DO NOT REMOVE THE CARD until you have verified that
the upgrade was successful (approximately 20—40 seconds). While the system upgrades, the
bicolor (red/green) power LED on the processor flashes green and red alternately. When the
upgrade has finished, the power LED becomes steady green. Dial Feature 59 at a display
telephone to verify a successful upgrade. (If no display telephone is available, wait 30 seconds
after the LED becomes steady green.) Then proceed to Step 6.
■If a 1600 DSL module resides in the carrier, the module itself may take from 2 to 7 minutes to
initialize. However, the module should have a steady green LED in the same horizontal plane
as the other modules during initialization.

8 If you have a 2-Slot Carrier or a stand-alone configuration, you are
finished with this procedure. If you have a 5-Slot Carrier, continue with
Step 8A.
A) Make sure all modules are seated properly.
If you have a system of Release 3.0 or earlier:
B) To replace the carrier’s cover, grasp it by its upper edges and hold it
squarely over the control unit.
C) Place the cover over the modules and make sure it fits firmly in place.
D) Tighten the screw on the lower front of the cover.
9 If the PC Card you installed is:
A) A PARTNER Backup/Restore Card or a PARTNER Remote Access
PC Card, see the documentation that came with your system to do a test Backup, a test Restore, and to
set up programming for Automatic Backups.
B) An ASA/DXD PC Card, see the documentation that came with your system.
