Sample Steps for Installing New System Firmware Using
Xmodem
Before starting this procedure, connect a terminal emulator to the 2216 (see
Chapter 3, “Accessing the 2216” on page 3-1).
This is a two-part process. The firmware image is transferred to the 2216 and is
then burned into the 2216 system flash.
1
From the F/W Update Options menu, select 2. XMODEM a Remote Image
File.
2
Type in the filename (for example, eptf5.ld) that you want to use for the
temporary file that will be copied onto the C: drive of the 2216.
A message states to start the Xmodem transfer when the window is closed.
This process is dependent on the terminal emulation package that you are
using.
The transfer process is time-sensitive and may time out before the process
starts. Restart from the F/W Update Options menu if necessary.
¹
If characters like '$' appear by the message box, it means that the
connection is not established.
¹
If 10-12 appears, Xmodem will likely time out and need to be restarted.
3
After Xmodem completes, a message similar to the following is displayed:
This selection will update your
system firmware.
Do you want to
continue?
The system asks if you want to build a recovery block. It is optional, but
recommended.
Note: Be patient, as the system writes from RAM to the hard drive. It may
take up to 5 minutes.
4
After building a recovery block, additional messages will be displayed.
5
The system displays the file choices for firmware update. Choose the file that
was just uploaded. The choices should look similar to those below:
( ) C:PRECOVER.IMG 03/20/97
(>) C:FIRM.LD 04/07/97
6
Answer yes, and the system updates the firmware.
Note: Do not switch the system off. The process erases the old firmware
and copies the new firmware into flash memory. If the machine is powered
off before the process is complete, you will need to reload the firmware from
the recovery image.
7
A completed message appears when the firmware is updated.
