Installing Software Images and Bootprom Software Updates Page 16 of 55
Note
If the software (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
new Controller
Card
Any controller card numbered 75836G01 with revision D or greater REQUIRES the
new boot prom 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 5.4P0LB.
This new 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 5.4P0LB CD.
