C-2 Updating the Firmware

Follow the steps below to install new CD-ROM server firmware:

1.

Obtain a copy of the firmware update file from your
HP-authorized dealer or from HP’s Electronic Support
services.

2.

Log in to the CD-ROM server with the command

ftp

where

is the IP address or host

name assigned to your CD-ROM server.

3.

You will be prompted for user id and password. The default
user id is

root

, and the default password is

pass.

(

root

is the user id with the highest priority).

4.

Issue the command

bin

to change to binary transfer mode.

5.

Issue the command

put flash

where

is the name of the new CD-ROM server firmware, for example

hpcd_411.bin.

CAUTION

Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the
transfer is interrupted the CD-ROM server may
become inoperative and must be returned to HP.

6.

Wait for the transfer to complete. This normally takes 1 to 4
minutes. The unit will then automatically restart with the new
CD-ROM server firmware.

7.

Log out using the command

quit

,

bye

or

exit

depending on

your FTP version.

Instructions on how to install your CD-ROM server firmware are
also supplied with the firmware update.
