Update Firmware

Use
ControlFLASH Plus®
 software to update the firmware of each module in each chassis. For information on how to download, install, and use
ControlFLASH Plus®
 software, see the ControlFLASH Plus Quick Start Guide, publication CFP-QS001.
IMPORTANT:
  • Apply power only to the chassis in which you are updating firmware.
  • Redundancy module firmware that is contained in the redundancy firmware bundle is designed for use with redundancy modules.
  • All modules in both chassis must use firmware from the same redundancy firmware bundle.
To update the firmware in each chassis, follow these steps.
  1. Apply power to the chassis.
  2. Set the keyswitch on the controller to PROG.
  3. Wait for the modules to complete their start-up scrolling status messages, and then check the status indicators. During this time, the redundancy module conducts internal operations to prepare for an update.
  4. Launch
    ControlFLASH Plus®
     software and update the communication module that is the gateway to the other modules.
  5. Update the redundancy module.
  6. Once the firmware update is complete, verify that the redundancy module status displays PRIM, which indicates a successful update.
  7. Use
    ControlFLASH Plus®
     software to update the rest of the modules in the chassis.
  8. Verify a successful update of each module with firmware revisions that match the revision in the firmware bundle.
  9. Power off the chassis.
