C:\download>
prompt type:
filename.exe
<Enter> (Where
filename is the six-digit microcode P/N)
This will expand the file and create the .prg file needed in the next step.

This .prg file is the file you will download into the NIC.

ftp nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
<Enter>

You are given a password prompt.
NOTE: The default is no password. If the program requires a password, contact the system administrator.
