Server FLASH command

The Server FLASH command updates the CPS program images in FLASH memory. You may wish to use this command to update the program with new features or to install a later release of

the program.

There are two program images that you may update in the CPS FLASH. The boot image file (cps10bt.img) contains the CPS startup and self-test logic. The application image (cps10app.img) contains the program that provides CPS functionality.

You will need a TFTP server. Download the latest FLASH image from Avocent. Save the image file to the appropriate directory on the TFTP server.
