Chapter 5: CPS Appliance Commands 53
Server FLASH command
The Server FLASH command updates the CPS program images in FLASH memory. You may wish
to use this command to update the program with new features or to install a later release of
the program.
There are two program images that you may update in the CPS FLASH. The boot image file
(cps10bt.img) contains the CPS startup and self-test logic. The application image (cps10app.img)
contains the program that provides CPS functionality.
You will need a TFTP server. Download the latest FLASH image from Avocent. Save the image
file to the appropriate directory on the TFTP server.
Access right: SCON
Access level: APPLIANCEADMIN
