Warning While performing a turbo boot of 4.0.X (PX) images the ROMMON version needs to be 2.01 due to
image size increase, otherwise the turbo boot will fail. Refer to Appendix A for more information on
performing the turbo boot. Appendix A also describes how to upgrade your ROMMON version to 2.01

OPTION-A

Currently on most systems with IOS-XR Software Release 3.8.4 or higher or IOS-XR Software Release
3.9.0 or higher images ROMMON version 1.54 is supported/installed. While upgrading from IOS-XR
Software Release 3.8.4 or higher to IOS-XR Software Release 4.0.0.X (PX) you can upgrade the FPD
images using the Auto FPD procedure. The Auto FPD procedure upgrades the ROMMON images on
ROMMON B before resetting the router for upgrades. After the software upgrade is complete and the
router is up and running you then have to manually upgrade the ROMMON A images. Upgrade
ROMMON A by executing the following command from admin mode:
For Auto FPD to work please execute the following command in admin mode

OPTION-B

The other option is to upgrade the ROMMON manually after the image upgrade. The upgrade will not
fail even if the ROMMON images are 1.54 or 1.52.
Detailed procedures for ROMMON upgrade is detailed inthe Upgrading and Downgrading ROM
Monitor Firmware on Cisco CRS Routers section in the Cisco IOS XR ROM Monitor Guide for the Cisco
CRS Router document online.
