Loading the Boot PROM Software

The SSR boots using the boot PROM software installed on the Control Module's internal
memory. To upgrade the boot PROM software and boot using the upgraded image, use
the following procedure.
1. Display the current boot settings by entering the system show version command:
Here is an example:
ssr# system show version
Software Information
Software Version
Copyright
Image Information
Image Boot Location: file:/pc-flash/boot/img/
Boot Prom Version
Note:
2. Copy the software upgrade you want to install onto a TFTP server that the SSR can
access. (Use the ping command to verify that the SSR can reach the TFTP server.)
3. Use the system promimage upgrade command to copy the boot PROM upgrade onto
the internal memory in the Control Module:
Here is an example:
ssr# system promimage upgrade 16.50.11.12 prom2
Downloading image 'prom2' from host '16.50.11.12'
to local image prom2 (takes about 3 minutes)
kernel: 100%
Image checksum validated.
Image added.
4. Enter the system show version command to verify that the new boot PROM software
is on the internal memory of the Control Module.
