Chapter 12: Firmware Upgrade
172
STEP (C): Upgrade the Firmware Code
Follow the procedures described in General Update Procedure (on
page 167) to upgrade the Main Unit with the latest firmware whose name
is “
P2-xxx.hex” (xxx represents the version).
To verify the firmware version
Use the Function Menu on the Front Panel to check the firmware version.
See Selecting a Function (on page 41) for more information.
To recover Main Units after upgrade failure
When any upgrade failure takes place, you can simply return the function
back to normal with the Main Unit's failsafe capability.
1. Check the Front Panel LCD display to see whether the Main Unit
enters the boot loader mode as shown below:
If not, press and hold
and on the Front Panel of the Main Unit
simultaneously, and power cycle the Main Unit at the same time. This
forces it to enter the boot loader mode.
2. Repeat the same upgrade procedure:
Activate the Paragon Update utility again
Select the same firmware file that was chosen when the upgrade
failure occurred
Click the Send To Paragon button. For details on the operation
of the Paragon Update utility. See Paragon Manager User Guide
for more details.
Stacking Units
If the boot loader version of your Stacking Unit is earlier than 0C5, it
does not have the failsafe capability, and you must upgrade it if the
failsafe feature is desired. The upgrade of the Stacking Unit for failsafe
capability requires these requisites:
Keep only one Stacking Unit connected to the Main Unit at one time.
The Main Unit must be implemented with Paragon II 4.2 firmware or
later as detailed below.
