Creating a recovery CompactFlash card:
This procedure creates a copy of the Network
Station firmware (hereafter referred to as flash
image). The flash image that is stored on the
CompactFlash card includes both NS Boot and
BIOS images. You need a CompactFlash card to
complete this procedure (see "Compatible
CompactFlash cards" on page ix).
Note: Once you create a recovery CompactFlash
card for a series 2800 (machine type 8364)
Network Station, it can only be used to re-flash a
series 2800 Network Station.
1. Complete the procedure, "Removing the logic
unit to install parts" on page 18 before
continuing.
2. Insert the CompactFlash card into the
connector (see "Installing an optional
CompactFlash card" on page 19).
3. Move the jumpers into configuration 2 .
Note: All systems ship with jumpers installed
in configuration 1 .
4. Power on the Network Station.
This requires you to reconnect the power
cable to the logic unit.
5. Wait for the system LED to flash green.
Note: If the system LED flashes amber, the
image was not created. Repeat the procedure,
or see "Indicators of Network Station
problems" on page 73 for problem
determination.
6. Power off the Network Station.
7. Remove the CompactFlash card and store in a
safe place.
8. Move the jumpers back into the default
configuration 1 .
If you do not move the jumpers back into
configuration 1 , your Network Station may
not function properly.
9. See "Reassembling the Network Station" on
page 18.
