15 ATTO Technology BridgeTools Installation and Operation Manual
4.6 Firmware updater panel
This panel is used to flash the updated FibreBridge firmware.
Firmware for FibreBridge products is distributed in a .JAR
file, a compressed file containing the firmware image file
(*.IMA) and supporting readme documents. It is not
necessary to decompress the JAR file before flashing.
If necessary, BridgeTools will flash the FibreBridge with
.IMA files.
1 Download the latest firmware, a .JAR file,
from the ATTO Technology, Inc. web site at
www.attotech.com . Store it in a convenient
location, possibly in the BridgeTools
directory.
2 Click on the BROWSE button to locate the
.JAR file.
3 Highlight the file and click the SELECT
button. The file selected will be displayed in
the ‘Select firmware to flash’ window.
4 Click on the VIEW DOCUMENTATION button
to read about this version of firmware, new
features and any recommendations from
ATTO Technology, Inc.
5 Click on the FLASH button to erase the
current version of firmware and install the
new version. BridgeTools will indicate when
the process is completed.
WARNING Do not cycle power on the FibreBridge while
the unit is being flashed.
6 The new firmware will not execute until
power is cycled on the FibreBridge or a
Restart firmware command is issued from
the Save/Restore panel. Once one
FibreBridge has been flashed, BridgeTools
will be able to recall the firmware file. The
firmware will be found in the ‘Select
Firmware to Flash’ pull-down window.
Some options will be “grayed out” on the panel: they are not available because of the type of access mode or FibreBridge model or they have no effect based on other
selections. The chart below shows options available based on model and access method.
