HDE-4S-PRO
Instruction Manual
Step 2: Update PROM1 and/or PROM2:
Now you can use the field update utility (epcs) to program the EPCS PROMs. This is a custom utility that resides in HDE-4S-PRO.
Warning:
Care should be taken at this time, if misspelled characters or letters are typed by accident, or you have missed to type the bin
command in Step 1, this could cause the HDE-4S-PRO Flash memory to be corrupted. The HDE-4S-PRO will try to reload the OS using
the corrupted file ten (10) times before it displays the following screen (Figure 5.15). You can recover from this situation by repeating the
procedure all over again from Step 1 above.
Figure 5.15
Ready: Please read the rest of this page once before typing the commands.
Update FPGA1 by programming EPCS1:
epcs –e1 EPCS_1_ver#.bin
Update FPGA2 by programming EPCS2: (if necessary)
epcs –e2 EPCS_2_ver#.bin
NOTE:
Both EPCS PROMS can be programmed concurrently using two different terminal sessions
(logins). If you get errors during programming then
DO NOT TURN OFF THE ENCODER,
just repeat
the epcs commands again.
The server board should now configure itself on power-up.
Two choices to reset the encoder :
(1) Reset switch in the back of the unit.
(2) Use Telnet and type “epcs –c” this will automatically reboot the HDE-4S-PRO without a need for resetting with power switch.
NOTE:
The boot-up process for HDE-4S-PRO is approximately 30 seconds.
