C.2   Reloading Software

The ETS stores software in Flash ROM to control initialization, operation, and command processing. The 

contents of Flash ROM can be updated by downloading a new version of the operational software via 

NetWare, TCP/IP, or MOP. Regardless of which protocol is used to update Flash ROM, the following 

points are important:

◆

The Flash ROM software file name, ETS*.SYS, should not be changed. 

◆

The download file should be world-readable on the host. 

◆

There is a sixteen character length limit for the path name.

◆

There is a twelve character length limit for the filename.

◆

Use the List Server Boot command to check settings before rebooting.

Note:

It is very important to check ETS settings before using the Initialize Reload 

command to ensure that you are reloading the correct software file.

C.2.1   Reloading Sequence

If DHCP, BOOTP, or RARP is enabled on the ETS, the ETS will request assistance from a DHCP, BOOTP, 

or RARP server before starting the download attempts. The ETS will then try TFTP, NetWare, and MOP 

booting (in that order) provided that it has enough information to try each download method.
