Firmware Update
C-3
•
From the SRM console, start LFU by issuing the lfu command (see
Example C–1). Also from the SRM console, LFU can be booted from the Alpha
CD-ROM (V5.4 or later), as shown in Example C–2.
•
From the AlphaBIOS console, select Update AlphaBIOS from the AlphaBIOS
Setup screen (see Figure C–1).
A typical update procedure is:
1.
Start LFU.
2.
Use the LFU list command to show the revisions of modules that LFU can
update and the revisions of update firmware.
3.
Use the LFU update command to write the new firmware.
4.
Use the LFU exit command to go back to the console.
Examples of updating firmware from CD-ROM, floppy, and the network follow.
