Firmware Update
C-11
➊
Select the device from which firmware will be loaded. The choices are the
internal CD-ROM, the internal floppy disk, or a network device. In this
example, the internal floppy disk is selected.
➋
Select the file that has the firmware update, or press Enter to select the default
file. When the internal floppy disk is the load device, the file options are:
AS1400CP (default)
SRM console and AlphaBIOS console firmware only.
AS1400IO
I/O adapter firmware only.
The default option in Example C–3 (AS1400FW) is not available, since the file
is too large to fit on a 1.44 MB diskette. This means that when a floppy disk is
the load device, you can update either console firmware or I/O adapter
firmware, but not both in the same LFU session. If you need to update both,
after finishing the first update, restart LFU with the lfu command and insert the
diskette with the other file.
In this example the file for I/O adapter firmware is selected.
➌
Use the LFU list command to determine the revision of firmware in a device
and the most recent revision of that firmware available in the selected file. In
this example, the update revision for console firmware displays as “Missing
file” because only the I/O firmware files are available on the floppy disk.
