lists IDS-423 and IDS-4250 specifications.
Installing Spare Hard-Disk Drives
Do not install a second hard-disk drive in IDS-4235 or IDS-4250. The spare hard-disk drives are meant
to replace the original hard-disk drives and are not meant to be used in conjunction with the original
hard-disk drive. If you install two hard-disk drives in IDS-4235 or IDS-4250, they may not recognize the
recover command used to recover the application partition.
If the original hard-disk drive becomes unusable, remove the hard-disk drive and insert the replacement
hard-disk drive. For the procedure, see
Removing and Replacing the SCSI Hard-Disk Drive, page 4-15
.
The replacement hard-disk drive is shipped blank from the factory. You must reimage it. For the
procedure, refer to
Upgrading, Downgrading, and Installing System Images
.
Upgrading the BIOS
If the BIOS version is earlier than A04 on IDS-4235 or IDS-4250, you must upgrade the BIOS before
you install Cisco IPS 5.0 software.
Caution
Do not apply this BIOS upgrade to appliance models other than IDS-4235 and IDS-4250.
