Issue 3.01 NEC SL1100
Before Firmware Update can be used the system must meet the following
requirements:
1. Feature Activation
The Firmware Update feature must be registered through Feature
Activation. Refer to
Section 5 Feature Activation on page A-13 for
details.
2. Hardware
The hardware prerequisite for Firmware Update is the Compact Flash
drive. The Compact Flash drive is used to store the Firmware Update file
before the operation is executed.
6.1 Accessing Firmware Update
When PCPro is connected to a chassis, access the Firmware Update dialog
by selecting the menu item
Ribbon Item Home > Upgrade SW .
6.2 Using Firmware Update
Use the Firmware dialog to specify the parameters and perform a Firmware
Update.
To perform a firmware update:
1. Select a Firmware File .
Firmware Package File:
Select a Firmware package file provided by NEC. Updating a chassis with a
faulty Firmware page file could render the system unusable.
2. Schedule when the Firmware Update is to occur using the parameters in
the
Schedule Update section.
Schedule:
Schedule when the Firmware update will occur. The changes of the
Firmware Update will only occur after the chassis is reset. Thus the
Firmware Update should be executed at a suitable time when the
chassis is not actively in use.

The time you specify should be relative to the time on the chassis, not the local time
of the PC.
3. Press the Start button.
