Use the INITIALIZE Command to Update the Flash RAM
You reprogram a Flash RAM card (3886-6530) by using the INITIALIZE command at
the CLI prompt. The INITIALIZE command reboots the AWAN server and can be used
to copy the load image onto the Flash RAM.
1. To initiate the INITIALIZE command, you must be in privileged mode.
a. At the local prompt, enter privileged mode by typing the following command
and pressing Enter:
Local> set priv
b. Type in lowercase the default system password as follows:
Password>system
2. Before entering the INITIALIZE command, check your AWAN configuration by
issuing SHOW AWAN to make sure which version is your current Wweng2 file.
Local> SHOW AWAN
3. If you want to update your Flash RAM, enter the following INITIALIZE command:
Local> initialize delay 0 from Ethernet update flash
The 3886 AWAN server reboots and takes several minutes to download the new
software and program the Flash RAM memory card.

Caution. When upgrading the software stored on a 3886-6530 Flash RAM card by using the
INITIALIZE FROM ETHERNET UPDATE FLASH command, the reprogramming of flash, once
started, must not be interrupted; for instance, do not power off the server. Such an interruption
can erase the 3886-6530 AWAN license key on the Flash RAM card. If the AWAN features are
disabled, the Flash RAM card must be returned to HP for exchange.
