1.Connect the laptop serial port to the CONTROL IN port of the ServerSwitch

8200. Start the communications software, and configure the communications parameters to 38,400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and DTE (38.4K 8N1 DTE). Select the correct serial port (i.e., COM1) as the I/O port if not already selected.

2.From a ServerSwitch 8200 user port (either A or B will work), access the main on-screen menu by pressing <CONTROL> and <ALT GRAPH> simultaneously. Select System Setup from the on-screen menu. From the System Setup menu, press the <F1> key to access the defaults/flash update menu. Press the F key to put the ServerSwitch 8200 in flash update mode.

3.Once the F key has been pressed, the ServerSwitch 8200 sends a message through the serial port prompting the user to send the binary update file, but there is no confirmation through the user's on-screen menu that the flash update has begun. Begin uploading the flash update binary file from the computer attached to the CONTROL IN port to the ServerSwitch 8200. When the ServerSwitch 8200 has received the entire file, it will prompt the user through the serial port to confirm that the file is correct. Once the file version is confirmed, the system will program the flash and restart.
