Chapter 12: Firmware Upgrade 

 

 

The major upgrade procedures may vary depending on the situation of 
your devices. For example, if the boot loader version of your Main Unit is 
already 0C4 and the firmware version is 3E5, you can skip STEP (A) 
below. 

  STEP (A): Update the Main Unit's boot loader to 0C4 and 

firmware to 3E5 or later 

  STEP (B): Keep only one Stacking Unit connected 

  STEP (C): Update the Stacking Unit's Firmware 

 

There are two types of scenarios: 

 

The boot loader version of the Main Unit is earlier than 0C4—you 
must upgrade its boot loader to 0C4 or later. See Updating Main 
Units for Failsafe Upgrade Feature in 

 (on page 171) 

for details. 

 

The boot loader version of the Main Unit is 0C4 or later, but its 
firmware code is earlier than 3E5—download the firmware of version 
4.2 or later, and upgrade it by following the procedure described in 

 (on page 167). The firmware file to 

choose is P2-xxx.hex (xxx represents the version). 

 

To upgrade the Stacking Unit for obtaining the failsafe capability, only 
one unit is allowed to connect to the Main Unit at one time. If there are 
more than one Stacking Unit or no Stacking Unit connected to the Main 
Unit, you must do the following: 

1.  Turn off the Main and Stacking Units. 

2.  Connect only one Stacking Unit to the Main Unit. 

3.  Turn on the Stacking Unit first. 

4.  Turn on the Main Unit. 

5.  Set the Main Unit's stacking support to 1. See 

 (on 

page 42) for additional information. 

6.  Set the Stacking Unit ID to 1. See step 6 of 

 (on page 30) for additional 

information. 

7.  Turn off both units. 

8.  Turn on the Stacking Unit first. 

9.  Turn on the Main Unit.
