Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Overview
New versions of SEL-2032 or SEL-2030 (SEL-203x) firmware may contain
new settings and enhanced features. The SEL-203x dynamically allocates
several resources, including operating memory and settings storage, and new
features may require more resources. This means that if you upgrade an
SEL-203x from a previous version and you have extensive SET M
programming, your settings may not fit into the remaining resources after
installing the new version of firmware. If you have difficulties installing
settings or with the firmware upgrade process, contact SEL for assistance.
NOTE: Use caution when installing
new firmware to verify that your
previous settings operate as expected
after installation. A procedure for
verification of your settings is
included in the firmware upgrade
instructions.
There may be new features and capabilities that require you to provide
additional settings beyond those in your present firmware. To determine
potential effects of new settings on your application, carefully review the
firmware upgrade descriptions in the SEL-203x Instruction Manual released
with the new firmware.
Your firmware upgrade may require an upgrade to firmware in the
communications cards installed in your SEL-203x. Contact SEL for assistance
with firmware version compatibility with your SEL-203x.
Firmware Files
The programs (firmware) that run in the SEL-203x and SEL-2700 family of
cards reside in Flash memory. To load new firmware versions, follow the
instructions below. The SEL-203x has two programs that you may need to
upgrade: the regular, or “executable” program, and the SEL
BOOT program.
Throughout these instructions, the plug-in cards are referred to as SEL-27xx,
where xx in 27xx is the placeholder for a complete card number. For example,
if you are loading firmware for an SEL-2701 Ethernet Processor card,
substitute SEL-2701 for all references to SEL-27xx.
