A window will appear asking you to specify the firmware file that you want to
load (Figure 5-5). This file resides on the CD supplied with the controller kit
option. You can easily identify Firmware software by its .FDI extension. Enter
the .FDI file name (for example, D:\FIRMWARE\XXX.FDI), then click Start
Update. Upon completion of the Firmware update, the system will
automatically reboot and update the controller’s firmware.

Updating Firmware Using Serial Interface
NOTE: Follow this procedure only when the host operating system is installed on the
RA3000.
1. Properly shutdown your host system
2. Using either a laptop computer or a computer other than that attached to
the RA3000, connect a serial cable between the COM port on that
machine and the corresponding serial port (CTR1 or CTR2) for the
controller on the RA3000.
3. Start a terminal emulator session. For Windows NT, we suggest the
HyperTerminal emulator. Settings to be used are 9600 baud, 8 bits, No
Parity, 1 stop bit, XON/XOFF.
4. To activate the controller, press Escape key then press the Shift+7 keys.
The controller will respond with a banner stating DEC HSZ22 DEC
Monitor Utility, followed by the firmware revision number. You will
not actually be using this utility to upgrade the firmware, but having it
operational makes the next step easier.
5. Reset the controller by power cycling the RA3000 subsystem. You will
see a Flash Boot Utility Banner, followed by instructions to type Ctrl+C
to abort. Press the Ctrl+C keys to abort the load sequence. A FLASH
Boot Utility Options menu should appear.
