8.3 Procedures

8.3.1 Reflash Firmware
The Reflash Firmware option allows you to reprogram the Flash memory with new values for the
operating system components and the application firmware.
Under no circumstances should you allow the FloBoss S600 to be turned off while it is erasing
or reprogramming the Flash memory. Doing so will render the FloBoss S600 unusable.
Should this occur, the FloBoss S600 must have a basic version of the VxWorks binary file
loaded from the BIOS chip. The correct version of the VxWorks binary and configuration
files would also then need to be reloaded.
To reprogram the Flash memory:
Access the Startup menu on the front panel of the FloBoss S600. Refer to Section 7.3.1.
1.
Select the REFLASH FIRMWARE command from the Startup menu.
