Updating RSA or BIOS firmware
This option updates the firmware of the RSA or the server (BIOS) in which it is installed. Updating the
firmware also enables the BIOS code, diagnostics, power backplane, front panel, and the serial peripheral
interface (SPI) of the server in which the RSA is installed.
If available, new RSA and BIOS firmware can be downloaded from http://support.avaya.com
.
To update the RSA firmware:
1 Click on the file.
A download window opens.
2 Select the name and location for the file you are downloading and click OK.
A progress window opens as the files are transferred to the selected location. A confirmation
window opens when the transfer is completed.
3 Log in to the RSA. See Connecting and logging in to the RSA for log in instructions.
4 In the navigation pane, select Firmware Update under the Tasks heading.
The Update Firmware window appears (see Figure 35, Update firmware,
on page 64).

7 Click Update to begin the firmware update. A progress window opens as the files are transferred
to temporary storage on the RSA.
A confirmation window opens when the transfer is complete.
8 Verify that the file in the confirmation window is the file that you wish to use for the update. If
you do not wish to continue with the update, click Cancel.
9 To continue with the firmware update, click Continue.
A progress window opens as the firmware on the RSA updates. A confirmation window appears
when the update is completed.
10 Repeat Step 4 through Step 9 each time to update the cnetmnus.pkt and cnetrgus.pkt files.

You should update all three components (cnetbrus.pkt, cnetmnus.pkt and cnetrgus.pkt)
from the Avaya support website before restarting the RSA.
