Firmware Update Information
This chapter provides firmware and utility revision information, as well as
information on where to find firmware update images and documentation
for your AlphaServer 4100 system.
Firmware updates are performed using the SRM console’s built-in LFU
utility. Bootable LFU images are also supported, e.g. when booting the
firmware update CD. LFU supports multiple update devices: local SCSI
CD-ROM (CDA0), local floppy (DVA0), and local network (EWA0). Other
devices are supported for the advanced user. Refer to Chapter 2 and the
AlphaServer 4100 System Drawer User’s Guide for more information about
LFU and other console commands, environment variables to set when
performing updates off a network device, and firmware update procedures
and examples.
The SRM and AlphaBIOS consoles, and associated firmware files such as
I/O option firmware, are available via customer update kits (CD-ROM). For
order information of the customer update kit please reference the Release
Notes Overview booklet included in the firmware CD kit. A pointer to
the World Wide Web (WWW) pages, which can be used to obtain interim
firmware releases of AlphaServer 4100 firmware, is available later in this
chapter.
