A selfĆextracting executable archive file, found in the Tool Kit contains the entire
flash load. Run this executable from a temporary directory on a desktop PC. AfĆ

The selfĆextracting archive also contains 61FL1000.BIN, the 6100 Initial Flash
Load (IFL) card image, and PROG.BAT, an automatic reflashing batch file.

NOTE:
If you are updating from an older flash to version, and you have an 8 MB system, you must
format the RAM drive to a size of zero. Otherwise the system may lockup. The only way to
recover from this, once it occurs, is to remove the DRAM board.
