If the system has more than one processor module, or you are adding additional CPU
modules, the modules shipped might have different versions of console firmware.
Results are unpredictable if you install all processor modules at the same time and
power up the system, so install each module individually and update the console
firmware on each if necessary.
If the system has just one processor module, do only the first five steps of the
following procedure.
1. Insert a processor module in slot 0. (At least one memory module must have
been installed. The system will not power up if there is not at least one memory
in the TLSB card cage.)
2. Unlock the lockout plate on the 8400 circuit breaker, if necessary, and push the
system circuit breaker of the 8400 up. The indicators turn to red.
3. Power up the system by turning on the keyswitch. The console self-test runs.
4. Check the version of console firmware in the processor module. See
Example 2.
5. If the firmware is not the latest version, update it using LFU (see
LFU and build the EEPROM.
6. Power down the system.
7. If more than one processor is to be installed, remove the just-updated processor
from slot 0. Repeat steps 1 and 3 through 6 for each processor module in the
system.
8. After the console firmware has been updated on all processor modules, install all
of them, following guidelines on page 15. Leave the system powered down,
using the lockout padlock on the circuit breaker to ensure power remains off
while you return to the 8200.
