Boot Prom Software Updates Page 36 of 97
10)Once completed, the 7300 shows “Restarting”. Change your terminal speed
immediately back to 9600. The unit should automatically reboot and go to
ONS, provided that the bootprom and ONS images are compatible.
Note
If the ONS images are not compatible, the node responds by removing the
current image and prompts the user with a “download coldloader” message. If
you received this message check the table in step 9. The table contains the
correct compatibility information. To load a compatible ONS image, repeat these
steps substituting the ONS image instead of the bootprom image instruction in
step 8.
11) Upon completion of loading a compatible image, the node restarts.
Boot Prom
Information for the
MPC750 Controller
Card
Any MPC750 CPU controller card (numbered 75836G01) with revision D or greater
REQUIRES the new bootprom code and must not be downgraded past 1.40. You
must NOT load an earlier version of boot prom or attempt to load software with a
Vanguide CD prior to release 5.4.P0LB. This card is functionally equivalent to the
original card, but does require new boot prom code and coldloaders to operate. This
new boot prom code is release 1.40 or greater.
The new 1.40 or greater boot prom is fully compatible with the original controller
card and all software versions that worked with boot prom revision 1.30. If you use
an older Vanguide CD to load an older image, it attempts to downgrade the boot
prom which renders the controller card inoperable and it will have to be replaced.
In order to prevent inadvertently loading boot prom revision 1.30 onto a new system
controller card, please discard any CD's previous to the 5.4.P0LB CD.

Also refer to the “Boot Prom Software Updates” section on page 28 of this Software
Release Notice.
Note
The most current bootprom for the MCP750 and IBM750 CPU card is 3.00. Do
not use bootprom 2.00 on the MCP750 CPU card.
The IBM750FX CPU card available with release 6.4.R10A and greater must use
bootprom 2.00.
