6.2 Upgrading Firmware on Modules

The firmware installed on input modules (4915, 5919, 5915), output modules (4929, 5949,

4925, 5925) and crosspoint modules (5903, 5905) can be updated if required. Updates are

supplied by Snell Customer Support when they are available and if they are required for your

system, see section 1.2 for contact details.

Read through the firmware upgrade process before starting to ensure that you understand the

process and have everything you need to complete the work.

Equipment and files required before starting the upgrade procedure:

• A computer to write the firmware to the module SD cards.
