Appendix A: Flash upgrades

Upgrading the LCM2 appliance

Use the LCM2 appliance flash upgrade feature to update the appliance with the latest 
available firmware.

Items needed for the upgrade

Target device that is running a terminal program

Available serial port (COM port) on the target device

Serial cable that connects the appliance and the target device 

Firmware update

To upload a new flash file, complete the following steps:

1.

Go to http://www.ibm.com/support/ and download the latest flash firmware. Save the flash 
upgrade file to the correct directory on the TFTP target device.

2.

Connect a computer running terminal emulation software to the configuration port on the rear 
panel of the appliance using the supplied straight serial cable.The terminal should be set to 
9600 bps, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. 

3.

If the appliance is not on, turn it on now. After approximately one minute, press any key to 
access the Console Main menu.

4.

The Console Main menu opens. Select the Firmware Management option. The current version 
of the firmware is opened on the Firmware Management menu.

5.

Type 1 and press Enter to select FLASH Download.

6.

Type the IP address of the TFTP target device and press Enter.

7.

Type the name of the flash file and press Enter.

8.

Confirm the TFTP download by typing a y or yes and pressing Enter.

9.

The appliance will verify that the file you downloaded is valid. Next, you are prompted to 
confirm the upgrade. Type a y or yes and press Enter to confirm.

10. The appliance begins the flash upgrade process. On-screen indicators show the upgrade 

progress. After the upload is complete, the appliance resets and upgrades the internal 
subsystems.

11. After the upgrade is complete, a verification message is displayed.

Upgrading the CO cable firmware

The CO cables can be upgraded individually or simultaneously.
