Firmware Maintenance Procedures 2-15
Updating Firmware in CNB, ENET, IOM, SRM, PIM
or ControlNet Adapter
The procedure for updating the firmware in other modules is basically
the same as the one used for updating a 1784-PCIC card.
1. Launch the NTOOLS utility (ntools -c -u or ntools -e -u).
2. Click the desired CNB or ENET icon.
3. Select the module to be updated in the chassis graphic.
4. Click Firmware , and select the path to the correct .nvs file.
See Table 2.A on page 2-2.
5. Carefully follow the on-screen prompts to complete the update.
ATTENTION
!
Whenever you are updating modules in an RCP, we
recommend you turn OFF power to one of the
controller chassis in the RCP, so you can update the
firmware in the modules in the powered controller
chassis while it is in a Primary with no partner state.
Once the modules are updated in the powered chassis,
turn OFF power to this chassis and turn ON power to
the other controller chassis to repeat the firmware
update for the other modules in the RCP. This avoids
possible confusion caused by the logical change in
Network Addresses in response to a controller
switchover.
IMPORTANT
The 1756-ENET module must be in Slot 0 to update
the firmware.
ATTENTION
!
Be certain that you select the correct .nvs update file
before you acknowledge any Warning prompt and
initiate a file download to a given module. See
Table 2.A on page 2-2.
Do not update more than one module of a given type at
a time. If the on-screen prompt includes a selection for
“Update all other identical types in this controller
(only) now”, be certain this selection is not checked
.
