Updating the M9036A BIOS BIOS Setup
Updating the M9036A BIOS
Depending on your application, you may never need to update the BIOS on your
M9036A. However, you should always upgrade to the latest Keysight BIOS.
Keysight’s AGxx or AGxx-M
BIOS are custom designed specifically for the
M9036A. Do not attempt to replace it with a generic BIOS.
The AGxx BIOS versions are appropriate for the M9036A in single or dual chassis
configurations. However, if you are using the M9036A to manage and control
three or four AXIe or PXIe chassis, you must
have Keysight BIOS version AGxx-M
installed.
Any BIOS update for the M9036A will be available on the Keysight web site:
www.Keysight.com/find/M9036A. Click on Technical Support, then the Drivers,
Firmware, and Software tab. Scroll down and click on the M9036A BIOS link. Under
Supporting Documentation is an instruction sheet for updating the BIOS. The
Keysight BIOS upgrade utility allows you to restore or upgrade the BIOS in your
M9036A PXIe Embedded Controller.
Because the AGxx-M BIOS consumes extra resources, it can only
be installed on 64-bit operating systems. Furthermore, this BIOS
should only be installed when you need to support three or more
chassis. On 32-bit operating systems or to support one or two
chassis on 64-bit operating systems, the AGxx BIOS should be
used.
To
To update or reinstall the controller BIOS or these drivers, you
must login as a user with Administrator privileges. Set the User
Account Control to the default position.
When updating the BIOS from Keysight AG19 to version AG20 or
AG20-M (or later), you must install Microsoft Windows Fix it
50470 before updating to AG20 or AG20-M. Refer to the BIOS
updating utility instruction sheet for detailed information.
