Remote system type is [your type will be displayed here]. ftp> C.2 Reloading Software The Server stores software in Flash ROM to control initialization, operation, and command processing. The contents of Flash ROM can be updated by downloading a new version of the operational software via NetWare, TCP/IP, or MOP. Regardless of which protocol is used to update Flash ROM, the following points are important: x The Flash ROM software file name, MPS.SYS, should not be changed. x The download file should be world-readable on the host. x There is a sixteen character length limit for the path name. x There is a twelve character length limit for the filename. x Define commands must be used because Set configurations are cleared when the Server boots. Use the List Server Boot command to check settings before rebooting. Note: It is very important to check Server settings before using the Initialize Reload command to ensure that you are reloading the correct software file. C.2.1 Reloading Sequence If DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is enabled on the Server, the Server will request assistance from a DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP server before starting the download attempts. The Server will then try TFTP, NetWare, and MOP booting (in that order) provided that it has enough information to try each download method. Downloading and rewriting the Flash ROM will take approximately two minutes from the time the Initialize command is issued. If the download file cannot be found or accessed, the Server can be rebooted with the code still in Flash ROM. The OK/ACT LED will blink quickly while the Server is booting (and reloading code) and then slowly when it returns to normal operation. Note: If you experience problems reloading Flash ROM, refer to Troubleshooting Flash ROM Updates on page C-8. C-6
