NOTE: The LAN configuration for the server must be set for the FTP connection to function correctly regardless of whether the console LAN, local serial, or other connection is used to issue the FW command. FW - Firmware Update • Access Level: Administrator • Scope: Complex • Description: This command prompts the user for the location of the firmware software and the FLASH handle (from a list) which represents all upgradeable entities. Figure 5-11 illustrates the output and questions requiring responses. Once the user replies Y to the confirmation request, the firmware update makes the connection to the FTP server at the IP address given using the user and password details supplied. The appropriate files will be downloaded and burned into the selected Flash memories. Note that the firmware update validates the image to determine that the image name supplied is that of a valid image type prior to burning the image into the Flash memory. CAUTION: Instructions for updating the firmware are contained in the firmware release notes for each version of firmware. The procedure should be followed exactly for each firmware update otherwise the system could be left in an unbootable state. Figure 5-11 should not be used as an upgrade procedure and is provided only as an example.

PDC Code CRU Reporting
The processor dependent code (PDC) interface defines the locations for the CRUs. These locations
are denoted in the following figures to aid in physically locating the CRU when the diagnostics
point to a specific CRU that has failed or may be failing in the near future.
