C-2 Updating the Firmware

Follow the steps below to install new CD-ROM server firmware:

1.

Obtain a copy of the firmware update file from your
HP-authorized dealer or from HP’s Electronic Support
services.

2.

Log in to the CD-ROM server with the command

ftp <IP address or host name>

where

<IP address or host name>

is the IP address or host

name assigned to your CD-ROM server.

3.

You will be prompted for user id and password. The default
user id is

root

, and the default password is

pass.

(

root

is the user id with the highest priority).

4.

Issue the command

bin

to change to binary transfer mode.

5.

Issue the command

put <filename> flash

where

<filename>

is the name of the new CD-ROM server firmware, for example

hpcd_411.bin.

CAUTION

Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the
transfer is interrupted the CD-ROM server may
become inoperative and must be returned to HP.

6.

Wait for the transfer to complete. This normally takes 1 to 4
minutes. The unit will then automatically restart with the new
CD-ROM server firmware.

7.

Log out using the command

quit

,

bye

or

exit

depending on

your FTP version.

Instructions on how to install your CD-ROM server firmware are
also supplied with the firmware update.
