Restoring Corrupted ROMs 7-7
7.3 Restoring Corrupted Firmware on a CPU
Use this procedure when the prompt VAX-7000/10000-FRRC> appears at
the console terminal after power-up. (This prompt appears only if the con-
sole terminal is set at 9600 baud.) This prompt indicates that the firmware
in the FEPROMs on the processor module has been corrupted.
The following must be available for you to use this procedure:
• A source system that can logically connect, through the console port, to
the system that has the corrupted firmware.
— The source system can be on site or remote.
— The source system must have access to an InfoServer.
— The program Kermit must reside on the source system.
• The VAX 7000 console CD-ROM with the file
VAX7000_10000_CONSOLE_IMAGE.GROM.
Do the following to restore the corrupted firmware. All work is done at the
source system, and the procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.
1. Set up the source system (Example 7-6):
a. Set the speed of the terminal at which you are working to 9600
baud.
b. Bind the CD-ROM volume name to a virtual disk container.
c. Mount the InfoServer.
2. Make a physical connection from the source system to the system with
the corrupted firmware. For example, use an RS232 cable to connect
from a DMB32 on the source system to the console port on the system
with the corrupted firmware.
3. Run Kermit (Example 7-7) and set the parameters as shown in the re-
sponse to the show all command in the example.
4. Connect to the system with the corrupted firmware and downline load
the correct code (Example 7-8).
