Chapter 6 R2MFC MBM maintenance 69

6Record the switch settings from the old module.

7Set the DIP switches on the new module to match the settings you recorded in the previous step.

8Refer to “Installing an R2MFC MBM” on page 34 to install the module in the media bay.

9Refer to “Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach the rubber boot to the other R2MFC co-axial cable.” on page 37 to restore the system to operation.

Upgrading firmware

Normal installation does not require firmware download. A firmware upgrade can be required at some point to incorporate bug fixes or new features.

The following items are required for a firmware download:

•firmware load file

•PC connected to the RS232 serial port of the R2MFC MBM through COM1

•PC program delivered by the supplier: Bload1.exe for COM1

Note: The version of the firmware, running on an installed R2MFC MBM, is found by using the Fwversion command in the INfo directory of the CLI. See Chapter 7, “Command Line Interface (CLI)” for details on the CLI.

Figure 28 on page 70 provides an overview of the process for upgrading R2MFC MBM firmware.
