Updating the Chassis Firmware
The current version of your chassis’ firmware is listed on the Home Page of the
web interface. See
“Home Page” on page 44. You can update the AXIe chassis
firmware to take advantage of refinements and added features as they become
available. To check if a later version is available, go to the website below for your
product, then click the tabs/links indicated:

Revision string numbering format
The chassis firmware revision string is organized in the following format:
<Chassis Class>.<Firmware Version>-<Chassis Component>-<Axxxx>[-<Bxxxx>]…
Where: <Chassis Class> is either
F2AX Identifies an M9502A 2 slot AXIe chassis
F5AX
Identifies an M9505A 5 slot AXIe chassis
<Firmware Version>
is structured as:
<major>.<minor>.<build>
<major>
Identifies the major release number.
<minor> Identifies the minor release number.
<build>
Identifies a build number.
<Chassis Component> is a four digit number, <xxxx>
Where <xxxx> is a hexadecimal value identifying the backplane firmware
revision. The backplane revision may be different between a 2 slot and 5 slot
chassis. While it is possible to move an ESM from one chassis to another, the
revision of the target chassis may not reside at the same revision level
installed on the ESM (and its previous chassis). It is important to review the
revision string after relocation to verify that the complete revision string is
current. If not up-to-date, run through the firmware update process.
<Axxxx> ; <Bxxxx>...
<xxxx> is a hexadecimal value for the firmware component. The actual
content of these components is for Keysight internal use only.
A firmware revision example: F2AX-1.3.37-0103-A002e-CA1.0-DA1.0-E1.3
This example shows an M9502A chassis with firmware revision 1.3.37. The
backplane revision is 0103 and component A is at revision 002e, component CA
is at revision 1.0, component DA is at 1.0, and component E is at 1.3. Refer to the
M9502A/M9505A AXIe Chassis Firmware Update Guide for specific details
regarding updating the chassis firmware.
