B. Enter a:swxcrmgr from the floppy (or cd:\utility\swxcrmgr from the CD-
ROM) to start the standalone configuration utility, and view the firmware version
displayed on the Main menu to verify the update.
• For a PCI controller, exit the utility and remove the standalone utility diskette
from the drive. This completes the firmware update for PCI.
• For an EISA controller that was V1.99 or earlier before the update, select the
appropriate new .CFG file for your controller and copy it to the ECU diskette.
The table that follows identifies the .CFG files.
.CFG Files
!MLX0077.CFG 1-channel controller running Windows NT
!MLX0075.CFG 3-channel controller running Windows NT
AMLX0077.CFG 1-channel controller running Digital UNIX or OpenVMS
AMLX0075.CFG 3-channel controller running Digital UNIX or OpenVMS
C. Run the ECU again to load the new CFG file.
__________________________ Note _____________________________
If you are not able to copy the .CFG file to your ECU diskette, do the following:
1. Run the ECU and delete the board.
2. Remove the ECU diskette and insert the standalone utility diskette.
3. At the Add Configuration (CFG) file menu, select the appropriate choice and
press Enter.
4. At the Destination Diskette prompt, remove the standalone utility
diskette and insert the ECU diskette, making sure it is write-enabled, then press
Enter.
5. At the confirmation prompt, press Enter, and at the highlighted slot, press
Enter again. The board will now appear on the display.
6. When you have finished adding boards, press F10 to exit.
