INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 
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 (cpqia410.bin) on an FTP, HTTP, or TFTP server 
that is network-accessible from the Integrated Administrator to be updated. 

4. Using Telnet, SecureSH, or a serial terminal, login as the Administrator on 
the Integrated Administrator to be updated. 

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 cpqia410.bin.

CAUTION: Do not Power Off or reset the enclosure during Step 6. 

6. Type ''yes'' to confirm the flash update operation. The Integrated 
Administrator prompts all users to log off, waits one minute, and then 
downloads the image file, verifies the image file, and finally re-programs the 
flash memory. If the flash programming process is successful, the Integrated 
Administrator automatically restarts (reboots). 

NOTE: The Integrated Administrator firmware update process (including a 
restart) does not affect the operation of any blades that may be running within 
the enclosure. If upgrading from Version 1.11 or earlier, the Integrated 
Administrator (after restarting) temporarily loses access to blade information 
(such as blade name, MAC addresses, processor, memory, and so forth) until the 
next time each blade is rebooted.

NOTE: For additional information, see the user guide for the Integrated 
Administrator, which may found on http://www.hp.com/support and search for PC 
BL Enclosure.
