VIP-X - 42 Revision 1.0
8.2. CONFIGURING THE MODULE FOR FIRMWARE UPGRADES VIA SERIAL PORT
RUN/UPGRADE The RUN/UPGRADE jumper on the bottom board is used when firmware
upgrades are being done to the module. For normal operation it should be
installed in the RUN position. See the Upgrading Firmware chapter in the
front of the binder for more information.
To upgrade the firmware in the module unit via the serial port pull it out of the
frame. Move the RUN/UPGRADE jumper into the UPGRADE position.
Install the Upgrade cable provided (located in the vinyl pouch in the front of
the binder) onto SERIAL header J7 at the card edge. Re-install the module
into the frame. Run the upgrade as described in section 10.2. Once the
upgrade is complete, remove the module from the frame, move the jumper
into the RUN position, remove the upgrade cable and re-install the module.
The module is now ready for normal operation.

The serial port method of upgrading the firmware will take over 15 minutes and is
not recommended unless the FTP method fails.
