ATTO Technology Inc. FibreBridge Installation and Operation Manual
4.0 Update firmware
The ATTO FibreBridge has several processors which control the flow of data. The firmware to control
these processors can be upgraded in the field using the PUT command from an FTP connection, or
ZModem utility over an RS-232 serial connection. The preferred method is to use ATTO ExpressNAV.
Note
The recommended management tool for
updating firmware for the FibreBridge is the
ATTO ExpressNAV interface. Use the
Update
Firmware
page.
The FibreBridge firmware is distributed as an
.ima
file and can be obtained from the ATTO web
site.
Preliminary step
The FibreBridge firmware is distributed as an
.ima file from the ATTO Technology web site at
www.attotech.com or from the CD included with
your bridge. Download the file and note the
filename.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Before beginning this procedure, ensure
that all I/O to the FibreBridge has stopped.
During this procedure, do not interrupt the
flash process.
Do not power down the host or the
FibreBridge until the display returns the
Ready prompt.
Interrupting the flash process will make
your FibreBridge inoperable and you will
have to return it to ATTO Technology for
repair.
