In order to update the version of diagnostics in ROM two flash diskettes are required. The first diskette image is in the file KiowaDiags1.01PartNum1of2 and should be put on a diskette with the label "IBM Netfinity 5500 Diagnostics Flash Diskette 1 of 2". The second diskette image is in the file KiowaDiags1.01PartNum2of2 and should be put on a diskette with the label "IBM Netfinity 5500 Diagnostics Flash Diskette 2 of 2". The procedure to update diagnostics is as follows: 1. Insert the "IBM Netfinity 5500 Diagnostics Flash Diskette 1 of 2" into drive A. 2. Start up or restart your IBM Netfinity 5500 server. 3. The system will boot off of the diskette and present a window which allows you the option to flash various options. Choose "2 - Update Diagnostic". Then choose "1 = United States". 4. After loading the image from the diskette the system will prompt you to enter the second flash diskette which is labeled "IBM Netfinity 5500 Diagnostics Flash Diskette 2 of 2" and hit enter. 5. After the images are loaded from diskette the system will ask you to wait while the images are flashed into ROM. When this is complete you will be prompted to remove the diskette and hit return to reboot the system. 2.0 Version Changes ____________________ This is version 1.01 of the Netfinity 5500 diagnostics. Version 1.01 includes compatiblity changes to work with BIOS level 1. These compatibility changes affect the LED and PCI Hot Swap Latch tests. If version 1.00 of these tests is run on BIOS level 1 they will indicate incorrectly that there are hardware problems in the system. Hence, version 1.00 of the diagnostics should only be used with level 0 of BIOS while this version, 1.01, of diagnostics should only be used with levels 1 and later of BIOS. Version Changes ------- ------------------------ 1.00 First release. 1.01 Second release: - Compatibility changes for BIOS level 1. - Fixes hang when diagnostics loads with a defective SCSI backplane. - Cleans up some error messages. 3.0 Trademarks and Notices ___________________________ THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
