FIP power-on priorities management The A6616 provides eight FIP slots, including Slot 0 through Slot 3, and Slot 6 through Slot 9. You can configure FIPs with different power-on priorities, namely, Level 1 through Level 3.
Page 11
This process goes on until the system power is insufficient or all the FIPs are powered on. For example, on an A6616, suppose that the system power is sufficient. If FIP-200s are inserted into Slot 1, Slot 3, Slot 7, and Slot 9 with power-on priorities Level 2, Level 3, Level 2, and Level 1 respectively, the FIP-200s are powered on in the order of Slot 9, Slot 1, Slot 7, and Slot 3.
–60 m to +4 km (–196.85 ft. to +2.49 miles) System Software The router uses the Comware V5 software platform, HP's core software platform. Based on the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack, the Comware V5 software platform integrates link-layer protocols, routing, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Virtual Private Network (VPN), quality of service (QoS), security, and multicast technologies.

Maintaining Software Software Components and Functions Files Three types of files need to be managed on the router. They are: BootWare program file Application file Configuration file BootWare Program File The BootWare program file is used for booting the application when the router starts and is stored in the flash memory.
As the secure application file is the last resort for system boot, you cannot change its attribute, or turn another type of application file into a secure application file by means of attribute modification. You can only download it on the BootWare menu. Only one file of the same type (M, B, or S) can exist in the CF card.
N/A. For details about the startup saved-configuration cfgfile command, refer to File System Management in the System Volume of HP SR6600 Routers User Manual. Software Maintenance Methods You can maintain software of the router in the following two methods: Update BootWare and applications using Xmodem protocol through a serial port.
