The firmware folder contains the folder for the specific release you are installing.
1. Insert the USB device into the active CP blade.
2. Attach a serial cable from the PC to the active CP blade.
3. Log in to the active CP blade as admin if you are not still logged in and enter usbStorage -e to
enable the USB device.
4. Remove the serial cable from the active CP blade and attach it to the standby CP blade and log
in as admin.
5. Run firmwareDownload -s to download the firmware to the standby CP blade. The -s option also
disables the autoreboot, so you will have to manually issue a reboot after the download
finishes to initiate firmwarecommit. Enter all requested information (use default values).
6. This does not apply to the DCX 8510 models.When the download process finishes, run
firmwareDownloadStatus to verify that the firmware has been updated. The command displays
a running account of the progress of the firmwareDownload command until the command has
completed. The final message is similar to the following and will appear with a date and time
stamp:
Slot 4 (CP0, active): Firmwaredownload command has completed successfully. Use
firmwareshow to verify the firmware versions.
7. Ensure that you are still logged in to the standby CP blade (the blade for which you just
changed the firmware level) and type reboot. The reboot of the standby CP will initiate a
firmwarecommit to the secondary partition and log you out.
