Recovery Mode
If the service processor detects that its programming has been corrupted when it is
powering up to standby mode, it will enter recovery mode. In recovery mode, it will ask
for the firmware update diskettes by putting eight-digit codes on the operator panel.
The eight-digit codes are as follows:
Code Action
A1FD 0000 System firmware has been corrupted and must be reflashed.
A1FD 0001 Insert update diskette 1.
A1FD 0002 Insert update diskette 2.
A1FD 0003 Insert update diskette 3.
A1FD 000n Insert update diskette n.
Notes:
1. If the wrong diskette is inserted at any time, or if the diskette is left in the drive after
it has been read,
B1FD 001F
is displayed, indicating that the wrong diskette is in the
drive.
2. If
B1FD 001A
is displayed at any time during the process, the service processor must
be reset by activating the pinhole reset switch on the primary drawer operator panel.
After the update process is complete, the service processor resets itself and goes
through a complete reboot.
