firmware update

Post by mike dunevan » Mon, 25 Jun 2001 13:37:18



I just bought an old DEC Alpha Server 400 4/233 and I want to check &
update the firmware before installing linux. I keep ending up at
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/ but it seems to be
down.  Is there anywhere else I can get the latest firmware?

Web page http://www.compaq.com/support/files/ has the address in wrong
form: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/

Why on earth that address had to be made defunct?

1. Failed 43p firmware update and recovery

Group,

     I tried to update the firmware on a 7043-140 43p workstation.
The floppy turned out to be corrupt.  When the machine rebooted I
received a FEB error for corrupt firmware.  I reviewed the
documentation and found that I should be able to rename the firmware
image to PRECOVER.IMG and recover from the failed update.  The machine
immediately starts to read the floppy, but it never stops.  It
continually reads from the floppy in an endless loop.

Is this station toast? Or do I still have hope?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Jeff
