Updating Firmware

Pass-thru Port

Carefully read the procedures below and consult the "readme" file that accompanies the
firmware before downloading firmware to libraries connected by a PTP. If not followed,
you could damage the MPC/MPCL card. Each library monitors the other library's door
switch—if one library door is opened during the firmware download, this will cause an
interruption to the procedure and cause damage to the MPC/MPCL card.
CAUTION:
Controller card damage: The location of the command line interface
(CLI) port has changed with edition 3.00 and later firmware. It is now
designated the CSE port (J30) on the MPC/MPCL card.
To load only the MPB firmware, you must use the CLI port (designated as
the CSE port) in the Master library's door frame. If you are unfamiliar
with the location of this port, open the right door on the Master library.
