Installing a BootROM

Installation

Note
There are two different variations of AT-2450FTX, AT-2700FTX and
AT-2745FX Series cards. One with a BootROM switch and one
without. If using the version with a switch see Step 3. Also, if using
an AT-2700TX or FX, only complete Step 1.
Installing the MBA ROM is a straightforward task, but you must take care
to ensure that components are not damaged. Be sure you understand
the following instructions before installing MBA.
Caution
Risk of equipment damage:
Before removing an adapter card, attach an earth ground to the PC
chassis. If an earth ground is unavailable, ensure that the power is
switched off and plug in the PC's grounded AC power cord.
Caution
Wear an anti-static wrist strap when handling ROMs. As an
additional measure, do not touch the ROM's connectors. Leave the
ROM in its anti-static packaging when not in use.
If you are installing MBA on an adapter card that is already in your PC,
remove the adapter card from the PC. If you are not familiar with
inserting and removing adapter cards in your PC, refer to the Network
Adapter Cards Installation Guide - Book I for instructions then locate
the Boot ROM socket on your adapter card. You may need to refer to the
installation guide to locate the correct ROM socket.
MBA Boot ROM Configuration
To configure the MBA Boot ROM options press Ctrl + Alt+ B during PXE
initialization to enter the MBA Configuration Menu. This message will
appear during the Boot ROM initialization. In this menu you can select
the boot method and other parameters. Two new features are the
Speed/Duplex and Boot ROM Port parameters. The Speed/Duplex
parameter allows the user to determine the default speed and duplex
configuration without the DOS configuration utility. The Boot ROM Port
parameter allows the user to configure the default port on dual-port
adapters. Allied Telesyn's dual-port adapter cards are: AT-2450FTX,
AT-2700FTX, and AT-2745FX
