5-6RAID Array 3000 Pedestal Storage Subsystem Hardware User’s Guide

6.Choose menu item (2). “Change serial baud rate”. Select 38400. When presented with the “Please change your baud rate and press Return” message, do so from within HyperTerminal via the File\Properties menu, then choose Configure. If there is no response from the utility after changing the baud rate, proceed with step 7.

7.After changing the baud rate, you may have to close and reenter HyperTerminal. Press the Return key after HyperTerminal restarts. You will see the FLASH Boot Utility Option menu again.

8.Select menu item “1) Download new Firmware Image”. Using the Transfer menu in HyperTerminal, choose Send Text File and send the firmware. You will see a “Receiving code for System Version <ver>” message, followed by a series of \ / - characters cycling at the end of the line. At 9600 baud, the download will take between 45-60 minutes. At 38400, it should take around 10-12 minutes. At completion, you will see the FLASH Programming complete message, followed by the FLASH Boot Utility Options menu again.

9.Select item 9, Restart Controller. You will be instructed to reset the baud rate back to 9600, which you will again do from the HyperTerminal File\Properties\Configure menu. As in step 7, you will probably have to exit and restart HyperTerminal to get any response. Press the Enter key when Hyperterminal restarts. Your firmware should now be upgraded.
