A warning message appears, stating the standby card’s flash pro-
gram has been updated, and you must now switch to the standby
card to activate a flash update to the currently active card.
6. As the warning message instructs, press Esc to exit this screen.
The Update Flash screen reappears, and the message “***Flash up-
date successful***” appears on the TFTP Ethernet Port line.
7. Go to the System Settings screen and make the standby card the ac-
tive card (see “Specifying System Settings & M13 Card Functions”
on page 4-14).
When you do this, the auto-update feature of the software causes
the former active card (now the standby card) to update to the new
software from the former standby card (now the active card). When
both cards have the same software version, the minor alarm clears.
