To update your firmware on an AXP-based system, follow these steps:

1. Consult your AXP system documentation to invoke the boot menu shown

below.

2. Insert the latest standalone configuration utility for AXP Systems floppy

diskette into your floppy drive.

3. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the Run a program option, and

press the Enter key to select it. The utility displays a prompt.

4. To run the utilities from the A: drive, do the following:

For a single RAID controller, type this command:

Program to Run: A:\SWXCRFW xxxx.xxx

where xxxx.xxx is the firmware filename (typically, SWXCRFWA, for

EISA; SWXCRFWP, for PCI) and version of the firmware that you want to

load; SWXCRFWA.215 (EISA), SWXCRFWP.219 (PCI), for example.

NOTE

If you have both EISA and PCI controllers to

update, perform the next step for the EISA

controller(s) first.

For multiple controllers, either EISA or PCI, type:

A:\SWXCRFW –v xxx

where xxx is the version of the firmware, 215 for EISA or 219 for PCI.
