Adding Cards
Note This procedure applies to any of the following service modules: AUSM, AXSM, CESM, FRSM, VISM,
and VXSM.
Step 1 Before installing the hardware, enter the dspcd command to verify that the slot in which you want to add
the card is not configured. In the following example, the dspcd report shows that slot 3 is not configured.

Step 2 Install the service module and the appropriate back cards in an unconfigured slot as described in the
Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, Cisco MGX 8830, and Cisco MGX 8880
Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 Through 5.
After the new service module front and back cards are installed, the Fail LED on the front card flashes
and none of the LEDs on the back cards are lit. If you enter the dspcds command, the card state in the
display appears as Failed.
Step 3 To initialize the slot for the service module, enter the following command:
mgx8850a.7.PXM.a > setrev <slot> <revision>
Replace <slot> with the card slot number for the new service module. Replace <revision> with the
software version number for the runtime firmware the card will use. You can find the software version
number in the Release Notes for Cisco MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45), Cisco MGX 8950, and Cisco MGX
8830 Switches, Release 5.0.00 and the Release Notes for the Cisco MGX 8880 Media Gateway, Release
5.0.00. To determine the version number from the runtime firmware filename, see the “Determining the
Software Version Number from Filenames” section in Chapter 9, “Switch Operating Procedures.”
Note After installation, each card should be initialized with the setrev command only once. For
instructions on upgrading the software on a card, see Appendix A, “Downloading and Installing
Software Upgrades.”
