Updating the Firmware

DriveExplorer software, version 4.04 or later, can be used to perform
firmware updates on the 1203-USB converter and products that implement
DPI or DSI, such as PowerFlex 7-Class drives and peripherals, or
PowerFlex 4-Class peripherals—but not PowerFlex 4-Class drives.

Important: PowerFlex 400 drives can only be updated using a

AK-U9-FLSH1 flash kit. PowerFlex 4, 40, and 40P drives
cannot be updated. Only PowerFlex 4M drives can be updated
using the 1203-USB converter.

Important: DriveExplorer software cannot be used to update products that

support SCANport.

For information to update firmware, see the respective Release Note for the
firmware revision you are updating to on the Allen-Bradley website at

http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate
