Software Merge
This procedure can be used to upgrade the Console Concentrators to the latest
software support. See the LINCS Problem Determination Manual for additional
information.
1. If you currently have a functioning unit, it is recommended that you back up
your unit prior to proceeding through the merge process. You can back up the
software to floppy using Media Management in Central Control Mode (utility
3/2), approximately 40 minute procedure. You can back up the current contents
of the System Directory by copying the contents to a backup directory by
using the Central Control Mode utility 3/7, approximately 3 minute procedure.
2. IML the unit.
3. At “IML 500 M=” press the Clear key.
Note:
To abort the merge procedure before continuing, press the IML key. The
merge procedure will overwrite existing microcode files of the same name,
so it is not recommended to abort the procedure once the merge has started.
4. At the “Merge a: to c:” prompt, press the Enter key.
5. At the “Insert a:SYSn” prompt, insert the requested system diskette (by number
n) in the source drive, close the drive door, then press the Enter key. A progress
message “nn% Complete” is displayed while files are being copied.
6. At the “Merge Complete” message, remove the last diskette and press the IML
key to start the original IML process.
Warning and failure messages may be displayed indicating problems during the
merge. If the merge process fails, check the disk media and if it appears to be ok
(you can view the file list on a PC), attempt the merge process again, from the
beginning. If you are unable to successfully complete the merge process, and you
backed up the current code into the backup directory (described in step 1), you
may boot onto the backup directory by pressing the <3> key at IML state 500.
During the software merge, warning and failure messages may be displayed
indicating problems during the merge.
