CONFIGURING THE RAC CARD FOR FLASH RECOVER MODE
######################################################################
1. Connect the RAC card to a TFTP server using a network cable to
the system network or a cross-over cable to the host system.
2. Point the TFTP server root path to the folder containing the
firmware update image "firmimg.d5".
3. Using the BIOS setup screen, configure the system serial mux such
that the RAC card is connected internally to the external DB-9
serial port.
4. Install a NULL modem cable between the system DB-9 serial port and
a client machine.
5. On the client machine open a terminal communications program like
"HyperTerminal" or "Mini-Comm" using, [1] baudrate=115200,
[2] bits=8, [3] parity=none, [4] flow control=none
6. Enter a carriage return. A "RAC Recover Mode" prompt should
appear. If not then you may not be in recover mode. Recheck
the serial mux and terminal settings.
7. View recover network settings
RAC Recover> recover getniccfg
8. If needed, set static network settings (DHCP is NOT supported in
recover)
