CONTENTS ________ 1.0 Installing IBM Netfinity 5000 Diagnostics 2.0 Version Changes 3.0 Trademarks and Notices 1.0 Installing IBM Netfinity 5000 Diagnostics ______________________________________________ The diagnostics on the IBM Netfinity 5000 are located in the ROM. In order to update the version of diagnostics in ROM two flash diskettes are required, labeled "IBM Netfinity 5000 Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 1 of 2" and "IBM Netfinity 5000 Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 2 of 2". The procedure to update diagnostics is as follows: 1. Insert the "IBM Netfinity 5000 Diagnostics Flash Update Diskette 1 of 2" into drive A. 2. Start up or restart your IBM Netfinity 5000 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 5000 Diagnostics Flash Update 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 ____________________ Version Changes ------- ------------------------ 1.00 First release. 1.01 - Warnings added to tell the user when saving files to diskette that they must use non-preformatted diskettes. Namely the user should use diskettes which they have formatted themselves using a recent version of DOS or Windows. - Labels and documentation modified to clarify the functionality of 'Real-time logging'. - Fixed problem in which system date would not roll forward when running tests across midnight. - Diagnostic flash diskettes are called out as #1 and #2 instead of #2 and #3. - Removed Japanese from flash diskette list of supported languages. - Fixed the problem in which LEDs which are on when the LED test is aborted by the user (by pressing 'escape') would remain on. Now they will be turned off before the test aborts. - The Service Processor Reset Test has been removed from the Quick Test since Quick Test is meant to be run remotely and this test will abort the remote connection (since the remote connection is made through the service processor). 3.0 Trademarks and Notices ___________________________ THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
