D.4 Reloading Software

The Server stores software in Flash ROM to control the initialization process, operation, 

and command processing. The contents of Flash ROM can be updated by downloading a 

new version of the operational software via NetWare, TCP/IP, or MOP. Regardless of 

which protocol is used to update Flash ROM, the following points are important:

¥ The Flash ROM software is contained in a Þle called MPS.SYS. The 

name should not be changed. 

¥ The download Þle should be world-readable on the host. 

¥ There is a sixteen character length limit for the path name.

¥ There is a twelve character limit for the Þlename.
