1.4 Update Firmware
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a Model 2 to a Model 4, you must update your
system to the latest firmware levels before you power down.
Firmware downloads are available online, through an ftp site and a web address. Two
sites are available, to address any firewall problems.
Download the latest firmware from one of these two sites:
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/index.html
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/index.html
If you are adding an additional 2P drawer (upgrading from a Model 2 to a Model 4),
then you MUST upgrade your firmware before you power down your system and
begin the hardware upgrades. You cannot successfully upgrade the hardware without
upgrading the firmware on your original system.
If you are just upgrading from a tower to a cabinet, upgrading your firmware is
recommended but not required.
Please save all console environmental variables before powering down (use show *
or show mbm commands).
