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.
- Apply power to the chassis.
- Set the keyswitch on the controller to PROG.
- 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.
- LaunchControlFLASH Plus®software and update the communication module that is the gateway to the other modules.
- Update the redundancy module.
- Once the firmware update is complete, verify that the redundancy module status displays PRIM, which indicates a successful update.
- UseControlFLASH Plus®software to update the rest of the modules in the chassis.
- Verify a successful update of each module with firmware revisions that match the revision in the firmware bundle.
