The steps to perform a firmware upgrade are the same as those to upgrade the

Check the LEDs
While a 1600 DSL or 012E module is undergoing a firmware upgrade, the power
LEDs appear as follows:
• The power LED on the 1600 DSL and/or the 012E module is initially steady
green for 10 to 20 seconds, then flashes for another 5 to 10 seconds.
• The LED on the processor module flashes green while the firmware
upgrade is in progress.
• The LEDs on other modules residing in the carrier that are not being
upgraded are off.
The firmware upgrade process occurs for one module at a time. After successful
completion of the upgrade for one module, the system resets and begins the
firmware upgrade of the next module, if required. The firmware upgrades begin
with modules in the left-most slot to the right-most slot of the carrier. Once a
successful firmware upgrade as been completed for all modules, all power LEDs
are steady green.
Some modules do not display the LED off during a firmware
upgrade of other modules. The power LED on the 1600 DSL
module is steady green and the power LED on the PARTNER
Messaging module is steady amber while firmware is upgraded on
other modules.
