Step 2: Install the Flash RAM

The Flash RAM memory card (Figure 1-7 on page 1-14), which is a PCMCIA card, is

shipped in a protective plastic case from HP manufacturing. Care of the PCMCIA card

can be found on the back of the card itself:

•

Keep the card free from moisture

•

Keep the connector clean

•

Avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight

To have 6530 support, you must order the special Flash RAM card. You cannot use a

blank Flash RAM card. The 3886-6520 Flash RAM cards are shipped with the AWAN

build gem217 or gem224, both of which are based on the DNPG release version 2.4.

The shipped build information and software information can be found on the back of

the Flash RAM card.

Install the Flash RAM Card

The Flash RAM card must be inserted before the AWAN server is powered on and

remain in AWAN units at all times whether or not 6530 support is enabled.

For all AWAN 3886-series servers, simply insert the Flash RAM card with the logo

facing up; the card is keyed for fool-proof installation.

Use the Access Server Loader (ASL) to Download the Flash

RAM File

If ASL is not available, in most cases, the Flash RAM file can be downloaded and

performed from any TFTP server, including the TFTP server on the HP NonStop

Server (host). See Update the Firmware on a 3886-6530 Flash RAM Card without

Using ASL (optional) on page 2-14.

The network file for the AWAN product resides on the DNAS CD ROM and is

automatically installed under the Digital folder in the Programs directory during

software installation (Figure 2-4).
