5 Updating firmware

Several processors control the flow of data in the ATTO iPBridge. The firmware to control these

processors can easily be upgraded in the field.

The iPBridge firmware is distributed as an .ima file

can be obtained from the ATTO Technology, Inc. web

site at

www.attotech.com

or from the CD included

with your iPBridge.

Before beginning this procedure, ensure
that all I/O to the iPBridge has stopped.
During this procedure, do not interrupt the
flash process.
Do not power down the host or the
iPBridge until the display returns the

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