STEP (C): Upgrade the Firmware Code
Follow the procedures described in
General Update Procedure
(on page
164) to upgrade the Main Unit with the latest firmware whose name is
“P2-xxx.hex” (xxx represents the version).
To verify the firmware version
Use the Function Menu on the Front Panel to check the firmware version.
See
Selecting a Function
(on page 40) for more information.
To recover Main Units after upgrade failure
When any upgrade failure takes place, you can simply return the function
back to normal with the Main Unit's failsafe capability.
1. Check the Front Panel LCD display to see whether the Main Unit
enters the boot loader mode as shown below:
If not, press and hold and on the Front Panel of the Main Unit
simultaneously, and power cycle the Main Unit at the same time. This
forces it to enter the boot loader mode.
2. Repeat the same upgrade procedure:
Activate the Paragon Update utility again
Select the same firmware file that was chosen when the upgrade
failure occurred
Click
the
Send To Paragon
button. For details on the operation of
the Paragon Update utility. See
Paragon Manager User Guide
for
more details.
Stacking Units
If the boot loader version of your Stacking Unit is earlier than 0C5, it does
not have the failsafe capability, and you must upgrade it if the failsafe
feature is desired. The upgrade of the Stacking Unit for failsafe capability
requires these requisites:
•
Keep only one Stacking Unit connected to the Main Unit at one time.
•
The Main Unit must be implemented with Paragon II 4.2 firmware or
later as detailed below.
