Upgrade Procedure
Upgrade Procedure
A Prepare for Firmware Upgrade
Follow the steps listed below to prepare for a firmware upgrade:
Step 1. Capture your settings using the SEL-5020 Settings Assistant
Software or otherwise document them so that you can reinstall
them.
Some circumstances may require that you reinstall settings to
complete the firmware upgrade process. For example, if you
are upgrading many revisions (R101 to R115) or if the upgrade
is interrupted by a power loss, you will need to reinstall
settings.
Step 2. Review the firmware upgrade considerations listed above. If
you have extensive SET M programming or want to reinstall
the present firmware version, contact SEL for copies of your
present firmware version on digital media.
Step 3. Disconnect communications cables from the SEL-203x to
attached relays if those relays are presently in service and can
operate power system equipment.
Step 4. Prepare to load the firmware.
➢ Insert the disk containing the new firmware into the
appropriate disk drive on the computer.
For a faster upload (and less potential for file
corruption), copy the new firmware to the local hard
drive and upload the new firmware from the hard drive.
➢ Some firmware is in self-extracting compressed files
(files with .exe extensions). For firmware in such files,
from Windows Explorer double-click on the file and
select the directory on the hard drive where you want to
access the uncompressed files. Verify that these
uncompressed files have an .s19 extension.
