ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual
9.0 Updating Firmware
Engineers, technicians and/or system administrators/integrators may update the firmware of the
Diamond Storage Array using the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Advanced CLI Configuration
page of the ExpressNAV interface (Refer to
ATTO ExpressNAV: Browser-based Interface on page 25) via the
RS-232 serial port or the optional Ethernet management services card.
Updating firmware using the RS-232 serial
port
To update the firmware via a connection to the
RS-232 serial port, you will need
• a host computer with a terminal emulation
program such as HyperTerminal in Windows
• binary information file (“...”.ima) available from
technical support or on our website (refer to
Contact ATTO Technology, Inc. on page viii)
• a null modem serial cable with a DB-9 connector
To update firmware
1 Connect to Diamond Storage Array services via
the RS-232 port (refer to
Accessing the Array on
page 17). You should now be in the Command
Line Interface mode.
2 Copy the latest Diamond Storage Array image
file (“...”.ima) onto the host computer.
3 Type ZModem Receive at the Ready prompt.
The terminal program on the host should be in
Zmodem only mode, with no other parameters.
4 On the terminal program, choose
Transfer Send File.
5 In the Send File box, enter the current Diamond
flash (“...”.ima) filename or click the browse
button to find it.
6 Click Send File
7 The Diamond should acknowledge receiving
the file and display a message not to interrupt
power for 90 seconds.
8 When the flash procedure is complete, cycle
power on the array.
Updating firmware using the optional Ethernet card
To update the firmware via the optional Ethernet
management services card, you will need
• the optional Ethernet management services
card installed in your array
• a host computer with a network card or a
network-connected device such as a hub
• binary information file (“...”.ima) available from
technical support or on our website (refer to
Contact ATTO Technology, Inc. on page viii)
• a crossover network cable for a direct connect or
standard network cable if attached to a network
device
• a valid IP address
Procedure
1 Connect a cross-over cable (for a direct
connection to a PC) or regular network cable
from a network device to the optional RJ45
Ethernet port on the Ethernet management
card on the front of the Diamond Storage Array.
Or, attach a DB-9 null modem serial cable from
the RS-232 port of the Diamond Array to a host
computer and open a terminal emulator
program on the host to set the Ethernet
parameters.
2 Power on and boot up the host computer.
3 Turn on the Diamond Storage Array.
CAUTION CAUTION
Do not interrupt the flash process. If the
process is interrupted, the Diamond
Storage Array will become inoperable and
will have to be returned to the factory for
repair.
Do not turn off the Diamond Storage
Array until the display returns the Ready
prompt.
