Chapter 13 Upgrading PSAX System Software
Manually Selecting I/O and Server Module Firmware Drivers
A firmware driver is a binary file used to initialize (boot) an I/O or a server
module. The two types of drivers are the default driver and a nondefault
(configurable) driver. The PSAX system selects the default driver when the
I/O or server module boots for the first time after it is inserted into the PSAX
chassis.
Manually selecting a different firmware driver (other than the default driver)
for an I/O or a server module includes the following tasks:
•
“Accessing the Firmware Version Control Window”
•
“Selecting a Firmware Driver”
•
“Downloading a Firmware Driver”
Accessing the Firmware Version Control Window
To access the Firmware Version Control window on which you change or
update firmware drivers for I/O and server modules, perform the steps in the
following procedure.
