Firmware Update
To update the firmware of a CPU module, the firmware image file of the
updated firmware must previously be stored on the hard drive in the ft server.
During the firmware update procedure you specify the absolute path of the
firmware image. The CPU module requiring the firmware update is brought
down (stopped) prior to beginning the update. The companion CPU module
continues operation. After the first CPU module is updated, firmware in the
second CPU module can be updated automatically if the [Enable automatic
firmware update] is enabled in the ft server.
Firmware Update Procedure
Note:
You must bring down the CPU module before you
update the firmware. In this procedure CPU module 1 will be
updated first, followed by CPU module 2.
1.
Save the image data of the firmware update in an arbitrary directory on the ft
server hard disk drive, noting the path to this directory.
2.
In the ft server utility, select CPU Module #1. The above screen displays.
3.
At the front of the ft server, check the current state of the fail and state LEDs
of the target CPU module 1. Ensure that the CPU module 1 is down. The
Fail LED should be red and the State LED should be OFF. If CPU module 1
is up, bring the module down following the Bring Up/Bring Down
procedures above.
4.
After CPU module 1 has been brought down, click on the
Firmware
Update
button. The Firmware Update screen displays.
