Uploading SES Controller Card Firmware
The following information describes the procedures to upload new firmware to the
SES Controller card. The preferred method is to take the enclosure off-line first, then
perform the upgrade. This prevents bus reset errors.
1
Connect one end of the null-modem RS-232 cable to the RS-232 Service port
located on the SES Controller card.
RS-232 Service Port Connection
NOTE:
The cable is a female-to-female DB-9 null-modem serial cable and is
included with the storage system. Refer to “Null-Modem Cable
Specifications” on page 171 for cable specifications.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to either a host system’s RS-232 serial
communication port or a VT-100 type terminal.
3
On the host system, run a terminal emulation program or start the VT-100
terminal.
4
Verify the communication parameters are as follows:
• 9600 Baud
• 8 Data bits
• 1 Stop bit
• None (parity)
• Flow Control Off
5
At the cursor, type <Control-E>.
NOTE:
If the terminal program is not communicating, refer to “Setting the
Communications Parameters Automatically” on page 130.
