4 Updating firmware

Several processors control the flow of data in the ATTO iPBridge 2700. The firmware to control these processors can easily be upgraded in the field using the ATTO ExpressNAV interface or the PUT command from an FTP connection. The ATTO ExpressNAV method is preferred.

Preliminary steps

1The iPBridge firmware is distributed as a compressed .zip file and can be obtained from the ATTO Technology, Inc. web site at www.attotech.com or from the CD included with your iPBridge.

2Uncompress the .zip file into an image file (.ima). Note the filename.

CAUTION

Before beginning this procedure, ensure that all I/O to the iPBridge has stopped.

Using ATTO ExpressNAV

1Connect to ExpressNAV (refer to ATTO ExpressNAV interface on page 19) and click on the Firmware page.

2Click Browse and locate the firmware you unzipped in the preliminary steps.

3Click Upload and wait until a success message is displayed.

4Click the Restart link.

5Click on Restart.

During this procedure, do not interrupt the flash process.

Do not power down the host or the iPBridge until the display returns the Ready prompt.

Interrupting the flash process will make your iPBridge inoperable and you will have to return it to ATTO Technology for repair.

Note

The recommended management tool for the iPBridge is ATTO ExpressNAV.

Using FTP over GbE

1Establish an FTP link to the bridge that is to be flashed.

2Use the PUT command to download the firmware you unzipped in the preliminary steps. For example

c:\bridge_firmware\I25i0300.ima

3Once the download is complete, cycle power on the iPBridge or use the FirmwareRestart CLI command.
