Updating Firmware 6-13

Requirements

To upgrade AlphaBIOS over a network, you must meet the following

requirements:

•

A DHCP and TFTP server or a BOOTP and TFTP server configured with

the appropriate client information.

•

An AlphaBIOS-based client with:

A network adapter from the DEC DC21x4 family of Ethernet adapters

16 MB of RAM

The Network Setup screen configured based on the AlphaBIOS server’s

settings.

Network Upgrade Procedure

Verify that AlphaBIOS is correctly configured for your network by

examining the Network Setup screen.

At the AlphaBIOS Setup screen, select AlphaBIOS Upgrade and press

Enter. A screen similar to Figure 6–1 is displayed.

AlphaBIOS searches for the upgrade file on disk, CD-ROM, and the

network. When the upgrade is found, the upgrade process begins.

Once the upgrade is complete, your system restarts with the upgraded

AlphaBIOS.

NOTE: If the network adapter is initialized, but the call to the DHCP and

BOOTP servers fails, the IP addresses shown on the Network Setup

screen are taken from nonvolatile memory. If this information is valid,

the network can still transfer files from a TFTP server.
