You can verify the version that is currently running on the module by looking at the version parameter
Version (MK20_App_S6_V6
). See General Parameters (on page 174).
Upgrading the firmware on the modules takes approximately 30 minutes. Multiple (identical) boards can
be upgraded at once in batches of up to 16 boards (= one 'zone'). A 'batch' upgrade takes about as long
as upgrading a single board.
Always wait for the 'Firmware upgrade successful' message before power-cycling the system,
exchanging boards, or carrying out any other maintenance work that could interfere with the upgrade
process. Do not interrupt the power supply or tamper with a board while an upgrade is in progress. This
could corrupt the firmware, necessitating a restart of the upgrade process.
After a successful firmware upgrade, the upgraded board(s) will automatically reboot and will start
unpacking the newly installed firmware components. This process can take up to 2 minutes and should
not be interrupted. In case the board is removed from the frame or a power outage happens whilst the
board is preparing the newly installed firmware, it will retry as soon as the board is plugged back into
the frame or power is resumed.

Failsafe Module Upgrade
The Flash Memory can be partially or entirely upgraded through the PIPE interface. In case of upgrade
issues due to power failures or system instability during upgrade, the last known good working version is
automatically reverted to.
Power Consumption
The maximum power consumption is 75 watts when all 16 fiber outputs are running at 3 Gb/s.
