Rev B 

A.3  I/O - INPUT OUTPUT BOARD ASSEMBLY FIRMWARE (X1) 

1.

 

Power off the entire 5000A225A system. 

2.

 

Go to the AR website and download the IO firmware. 

3.

 

Once the download completes, unzip the firmware file on the PC that will be used to perform the 
firmware update.  Do not change the names of the folder or files that are unzipped. 

4.

 

Run the AR Firmware Upgrade Utility and follow the instructions it provides.  When asked to power on 
the device, only power on the Driver Box. 

5.

 

Once the utility successfully connects to the 5000A225A Driver Box, click the Update button for the I/O 
firmware. 

6.

 

The utility will prompt for the IO firmware file which was unzipped in the steps above.  Select this file 
and allow the utility to complete the update process. 

7.

 

After the update is complete, cycle power to the entire 5000A225A system.

BOARD (SBB) ASSEMBLY    FIRMWARE (X1) 

1.

 

Power off the entire 5000A225A system. 

2.

 

Go to the AR website and download the SBB firmware. 

3.

 

Once the download completes, unzip the firmware file on the PC that will be used to perform the 
firmware update.  Do not change the names of the folder or files that are unzipped. 

4.

 

Run the AR Firmware Upgrade Utility and follow the instructions it provides.  When asked to power on 
the device, only power on the Driver Box. 

5.

 

Once the utility successfully connects to the 5000A225A Driver Box, double click the 5000A225A model 
number in the upper right corner of the utility. 

6.

 

Enter the password 2157238181.  This will uncover additional update options.   

7.

 

Click the Update button for the SBB Piggyback firmware. 

8.

 

The utility will prompt for the SBB firmware file which was unzipped in the steps above.  Select this file
