MICS 6 Port Fiber Problem

[TouchToneTelecom]

I am trying to add a 2nd 6 Port Fiber card to a Nortel MICS system. The system has 85 active telephones, 2 T1 card with 2 PRI's. I have 6.1 software on it. I tried installing the new 6 Port fiber in the first slot of the cabinet, my original 6 Port Fiber Combo is in the 2nd slot. Then 2 T1 cards. When I insert the new card the system continues to initialize and all telephones blink. I have waiting up to 30min. and no luck in the system bootup. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Note: Use Slot 1 only when installing cartridges for 14-port, fully
expanded (mega) systems. In this case, both slots 1 and 2 are
installed with 6-port Expansion or a Combination Fiber 6-port
Services Cartridge. If you use both slot 1 and 2, the software must
be MICS-XC.

From the doc's. What software do you have?

Splic3d is right: you need the XC software to add a second expansion cartridge.

Until you get that software, you can remove the combination cartridge you just added. You system will boot as if nothing happened.

If you stay with R6.1 make sure the XC software card is MR (maintenance release). Otherwise going to R7.1 XC will work for you.
