IMPORTANT: The filename of the ROM image of the Integrated Administrator can be any
valid ASCII filename. The ROM image of the Integrated Administrator can be any valid image
that supports the “update image" facility in the operating system.
The Integrated Administrator will automatically enter Flash Recovery mode when a
corrupted image is detected. Flash Recovery mode can also be manually initiated.
IMPORTANT: No timeout exists for obtaining a DHCP address.
The Flash Recovery process should only be initiated when the Integrated
Administrator fails to boot properly because an operating system image is corrupted
by some unforeseen problem, such as a power/catastrophic failure during the
standard “update image” flash procedure.
Flash Recovery mode makes every attempt to successfully flash the operating system
image of the Integrated Administrator. The only way to leave Flash Recovery mode
without successfully updating the image is to reset the Integrated Administrator.
