Upgrading The Cp Pm Bios - Avaya CS 1000E Upgrade Procedures

Upgrade the CP PM BIOS
The NTDW99CAE6 CP PM card (CP PM version 2) does not require a BIOS
upgrade. The CP PM version 2 uses an updated design, BIOS, and boot
manager. Older NTDW61 and NTDW99 CP PM cards (CP PM version 1)
can require a BIOS upgrade to support Linux.
The CS 1000 Release 7.5 Linux Platform Base installer requires that a CP PM
version 1 card runs BIOS version 18 or higher. If the installer detects a lower
version on the CP PM card it automatically loads software for you to upgrade
the CP PM BIOS. Perform the steps in Procedure 31 to upgrade the CP PM
BIOS to version 18.
For information about manually upgrading the CP PM BIOS with VxWorks
software, see Communications Server 1000E Maintenance (NN43041-700).
