After a thermal shutdown, the 9992-ENC automatically starts again when the temperature
is reduced to a safe operational value.
Admin Firmware Tab
The 9992-ENC can hold up to three distinct firmware images: a
Factory
image and two upgrade
images, called
Image 1
and
Image 2
. The Factory image can never be overwritten, and will
always be available as a fallback in case of problems or failed updates. Image 1 and Image 2 can
be updated at will. Since the card offers two upgrade images, it is always possible to fall back to
the previous image if there are any problems with the current one. The card will also
automatically fall back to the factory image if it detects a corrupted firmware image. Finally, the
push buttons on the front of the card allow for a forced override to the factory image, as
described in the Front Switches section.
Uploading a Firmware Upgrade
When applicable, Cobalt Digital Inc. provides for continual product enhancements through
software updates. As such, functions described in this manual may pertain specifically to cards
loaded with a particular software build. You can update your card by downloading the new
Update software by going to the Support

“Firmware Update Guide”, which provides simple instructions for downloading the latest
firmware for your card onto your computer, and then downloading it to your card through
DashBoard™. When you have the firmware upgrade file placed, in the desired location, on your
computer click on the
Upload
button at the bottom of the user interface.
A classic dialog box allows you to browse your computer to select the upgrade file. You can
simultaneously upgrade all of your 9992-ENC cards over multiple chassis as well. Uploading
firmware to the 9992-ENC does not affect its operation in any way and does not introduce any
glitches in the inputs/outputs.
Note:
To allow for a controlled transition to operation when upgrading firmware, reboot the card
to engage the new firmware. The card will go off-line while rebooting.
