Upgrade The Cp Pm Bios - Avaya 1000M Upgrade

• Obtain the CS 1000 Release 7.5 version of the Signaling Server Software
Install media. For details, see Linux Platform Base and Applications
Installation and Commissioning (NN43001-315).
• Ensure that there is 2 GB of RAM and at least 40 GB of hard drive
capacity on your CP PM or COTS Signaling Server.

Upgrade the CP PM BIOS

The NTDW66CAE6 CP PM card (CP PM version 2) does not require a BIOS
upgrade. The CP PM version 2 uses an updated design, BIOS, and boot
manager. Older NTDW66 CP PM cards (CP PM version 1) might require a
BIOS upgrade to support Linux.
The Communication Server 1000 Linux Platform Base installer requires that
a CP PM version 1 card runs BIOS version 18 or higher. If the installer detects
a lower version on the CP PM card it automatically loads software for you to
upgrade the CP PM BIOS. Perform the steps in Procedure 53 to upgrade the
CP PM BIOS to version 18.
For information about manually upgrading the CP PM BIOS with VxWorks
software, see Avaya Communications Server 1000E Maintenance
(NN43041-700).
Procedure 53
Upgrading the CP PM BIOS with the CS 1000 Linux Base installer
1 Connect to serial port 1 on the CP PM.
2 Insert the CS 1000 Linux Base installation CF card into the faceplate CF
slot.
3 Power on the system.
4 Once the initial boot and memory check completes for a CP PM version 1
card, Figure 53 appears. Press the F key to boot from the CS 1000 Linux
Base installation faceplate CF card.
Note: For CP PM version 2 cards, press the F key to enter the boot
menu, select Faceplate RMD, and press Enter to boot from the faceplate
CF card.
