Upgrading the Boot Loader
The boot loader is the initial startup image. You should not upgrade this image
unless instructed by a Cisco technical representative.
Caution
Only upgrade the boot loader if you are instructed to do so by a Cisco technical
representative. If you encounter difficulties during this upgrade, such as a loss of
power, the DPA 7630/7610 might not be able to start up.
To upgrade the boot loader image, perform these steps:
Step 1
Obtain a configuration file whose name is in the following format:
dpa-loader.
<version>
.bin
, where <version> indicates the release number, such
as 1-1-2.
Step 2
Ensure the DPA 7630/7610 has started up normally.
Step 3
Connect to the DPA 7630/7610 using FTP and send the configuration file to it.
Step 4
While still connected to the DPA 7630/7610 using FTP, enter a
dir
command to
verify that the new file is on the DPA 7630/7610.
Step 5
On the DPA, choose Diagnostics from the main menu.
Step 6
Choose Reprogram boot ROM.
Caution
If the DPA 7630/7610 loses power or experiences a failure at this step, the
DPA 7630/7610 might not start up. If this occurs, contact a Cisco technical
representative for assistance.
Step 7
Choose Yes to confirm.
The Boot ROM reprogrammed message appears verifying the programming has
finished.
