Possible Upgrade Problems
If a power loss or a failure occurs during code download and ECC Checking,
the original firmware might be intact. It is possible to restart the firmware
upgrade procedure. However, if the failure occurs during flash erase or
programming, the firmware will be corrupted and a special procedure must be
used to load a new code. Contact your Technical Support Representative for
assistance.
