REFLASH BOOT IMAGE
Summary: The following procedure instructs the user in how to properly “reflash” the boot
image on cards after loading new feature sets. With each new release, new features and bugs are
fixed in the non-volatile flash of a card. This flash must be upgraded, similar to upgrading the
application code when going from P2.0 to P3.1. The customer will need to flash the image in the
following scenarios:
Major software upgrade has been performed and there is a new bootrom
Receives a card from manufacturing and it does not contain the correct
bootrom version for the software version they are running
1. From the GUI main menu, select the NE in question using the right mouse button.
2. The NE Pop-up window appears as shown in Figure 744-1. Select the Reflash Boot Image
option using the left mouse button.
3. The Reflash Boot Image selection window appears displaying each card in the chassis.
Refer to Figure 744-2. Place the cursor on the line of the card to be changed or updated and
using the right mouse button, click and hold the mouse button on that line.
4. The available software reflash images will be displayed. While continuing to hold the
mouse button down, drag the cursor to the desired image and release the mouse button. The
selected reflash image is moved to the Selected column.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each card in the shelf.
6. Select the Apply button to initiate the card(s) reflash. This process may take several
minutes per card.
7. Select the Refresh button to update the Download Status column. This Download Status
column will show “Loading” until the image is loaded at which time it will display
“Loaded”.
8. After the correct boot image is completely loaded, select the Cancel button to close the
window.
9. Perform a card reset per DLP-773 on each card changed to ensure the latest flash code is
running.
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
