HP L10 manual Procedure 4 Update the Hub Device Agent Code, IFCH3821.FRM

Procedure 4: Update the Hub Device Agent Code

Caution The hub controller firmware must be updated before the device agent code. The hub will not operate properly if the firmware is updated in the wrong sequence. See If Firmware Upgrade Appears to Fail on page 79 if the firmware is updated in the wrong sequence.

1.From the Boot menu, enter 1 to update the device agent code. A prompt appears for you to begin file transfer; for example:

Ready to download Device Agent code to RAM Start ASCII file (S-record format) transfer now

<Refer to terminal emulator user manual for instructions> Press control-C at any time to cancel

2.From the terminal emulator application, select the transfer option to send a text file. The hub’s firmware files have a .frm suffix. Verify that the terminal emulator application is displaying all file types.

3.Send the following file you downloaded from the web site. (Firmware filenames change when updated versions are released. Always check the Hewlett-Packard Software Depot for the latest firmware version and download instructions.) The default directory for this file is C:\Temp\HUB_FW.

IFCH3821.FRM

The screen is filled with rows of progress indicator dots as the file is transferred; for example:

...................................................................

...................................................................

....................................

The transfer process can take 10 to 40 minutes. When the file transfer has been completed, status messages and a transfer prompt appear; for example:

Done, memory range [$00001000:$0005D666]

Ready to transfer Device Agent code from RAM to FLASH

Note, once started, this step must not be interrupted

Press Enter to start, control-C to cancel
