Firmware Update Instructions
• If network, answer "AS4X00FW", "AS4X00CP", or "AS4X00IO"
depending upon whether you want to update all firmware (console
+ I/O option), only console, or only I/O option, respectively.
NOTE:: For firmware updates, via the LFU command update method, on
a system running any version of firmware prior to V5.3, you must
perform the update procedure twice. The first update for the
SRM console firmware and the second update for the AlphaBIOS
firmware.
A sample session is provided below of an update of SRM console from
V5.3-1 to V5.4-1 and AlphaBIOS V5.67-0 to AlphaBIOS V5.68-0. The
update method, in this example, is using images copied to floppy diskettes.
Reminder: On systems with firmware prior to V5.3 the updates via
this LFU command method must be performed twice. The first time is
to update the SRM firmware. The second time to update the AlphaBIOS
firmware. I/O option firmware can be updated at either time. Failure to
update the SRM and then the AlphaBIOS will leave the AlphaBIOS image
as invalid. Users will not be able to invoke AlphaBIOS or run ARC-based
utilities until the AlphaBIOS is updated from the SRM V5.3 console.
