To update the firmware:
1. Download the latest firmware for the RSA II from one of the following pages:
– RSA II flash update (PKT files for remote use)
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-5073124
– RSA II flash update (Windows executable for local use)
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-5073125
– RSA II flash update (Linux executable for local use)
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1MIGR-5073123
The easiest method is probably to use the PKT files because they can be
deployed through the Web browser interface. The remaining steps describe
the use of this method.
2. Unpack the ZIP file and you will find the two PKT firmware files as shown in
Figure 6-22.
Figure 6-22 RSA II firmware files
Tip: Read the README.TXT file and review all dependencies.
3. Connect to the RSA II by using a Web browser by simply entering the IP
address in the address bar. Log in using your credentials (the default user and
password are: USERID and PASSW0RD)
4. Select Tasks → Firmware Update.
5. Click Browse to select the first of two files for firmware update. Select and
apply the files in the correct order, as follows:
a. BRUS file (for example, RAETBRUS.PKT), which is the RSA Boot ROM
b. MNUS file (for example, RAETMNUS.PKT), which is the RSA Main
Application
Restart the RSA only after applying both files.
6. Click Update to begin the process. The PKT file is transferred to the RSA II.
7. Click Continue to begin the flash writing process.
