HP CD-ROM Server User's Guide

C-2 Updating the Firmware
Follow the steps below to install new CD-ROM server firmware:
1. Obtain a copy of the firmware update file from your
HP-authorized dealer or from HP’s Electronic Support
services.
2. Log in to the CD-ROM server with the command
ftp <IP address or host name>
where
<IP address or host name>
is the IP address or host
name assigned to your CD-ROM server.
3. You will be prompted for user id and password. The default
user id is
root
, and the default password is
pass.
(
root
is the user id with the highest priority).
4. Issue the command
bin
to change to binary transfer mode.
5. Issue the command
put <filename> flash
where
<filename>
is the name of the new CD-ROM server firmware, for example
hpcd_411.bin.
CAUTION
❏
Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the
transfer is interrupted the CD-ROM server may
become inoperative and must be returned to HP.
6. Wait for the transfer to complete. This normally takes 1 to 4
minutes. The unit will then automatically restart with the new
CD-ROM server firmware.
7. Log out using the command
quit
,
bye
or
exit
depending on
your FTP version.
Instructions on how to install your CD-ROM server firmware are
also supplied with the firmware update.
