7.4 Firmware Update Procedure
Updating firmware in the MSI-7300 requires the following: a DCE serial cable (MSI
503363-001, or build per DCE cable schematic on page 22), a PC with a terminal program
(“Teraterm Pro” recommended), and if the PC does not have standard RS-232 serial ports,
then a USB to serial converter. Make sure the driver for the USB converter is properly
installed, and that the terminal program is set up for the proper comm port.
The latest firmware code is available from the MSI service department and can be emailed
on request. Your firmware version is displayed when the MSI-7300 is turned on in the
form of “01-04” (your version will vary). Most firmware updates do not require a
recallibration. Consult the version release notes for confirmation.

XOFF (flow control).

connector to your PC or USB adapter.

something similar.
