PREREQUISITES: 
N/A

HOW TO USE: 
1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive. 

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. 

3. Place the firmware image file (cpqia400.bin) on an FTP, HTTP, or TFTP server 
that is network-accessible from the Integrated Administrator that you want to 
update. 

4. Using Telnet, SecureSH, or a serial terminal, login as the Administrator on 
the Integrated Administrator that you want to update. 

5. At the ''>'' prompt, type the following command: UPDATE IMAGE < url > Where 
< url > can be any of the following items: http://host/path ftp://host/path 
ftp://username:password@host/path tftp://host/path NOTE: In the previously 
listed items, ''host'' is a fully qualified domain name or IP address, and 
''path'' is the pathname of the flash image to download, usually cpqia400.bin. 

6. Type ''yes'' to confirm the flash update operation. The Integrated 
Administrator prompts all users to log off, then waits one minute, and then 
downloads the image file, verifies the image file, and finally re-programs its 
flash memory. Do not Power Off or reset the enclosure during this process. If 
the flash programming process is successful, the Integrated Administrator 
automatically restarts (reboots). 

NOTE: The Integrated Administrator firmware update process (including a restart) 
will not affect the operation of any server blades that may be running within the 
enclosure. If you are upgrading from Version 1.11 or earlier, the Integrated 
Administrator (after restarting) will temporarily lose access to server blade 
information (such as server name, MAC addresses, processor, memory, and so forth) 
until the next time each server blade is rebooted. For additional information, 
refer to the user guide for the Integrated Administrator, which is located at:
