Updating Firmware; Preliminary Step; Using Expressnav; Using Ftp - ATTO Technology FibreBridge 2370E Installation And Operation Manual

The ATTO FibreBridge has several processors which control the flow of data. The firmware to control
these processors can be upgraded in the field using the
ZModem utility over an RS-232 serial connection. The preferred method is to use ATTO ExpressNAV.

The recommended management tool for
updating firmware for the FibreBridge is the
ATTO ExpressNAV interface. Use the Update
Firmware page.
The FibreBridge firmware is distributed as an
.ima file and can be obtained from the ATTO web
site.

flash process.
Do not power down the host or the
FibreBridge until the display returns the
