Use a straight through RS232 cable. You will need to know the number of the PC's com port. Step 2: Run WUpDate.exe. Step 3: Select English language. Step 4: Select the desired Comm port. Step 5: Click the Load button. Step 6: Warning: While downloading, do not use your computer for anything else or switch Windows. The download requires constant control of your computer, and switching to another Window may cause the download to timeout. Step 7: If a timeout occurs during any of the downloads, run the WUpDate program again. POSSIBLE ERROR CONDITIONS: If the download does not execute correctly, verify the following: - Verify that the COM port is correct. - Verify that no other program is currently using that COM port. - Verify that no other copies of the WUpDate utility are currently running. - Verify a straight through (1-to-1) type of serial cable is used, not a null modem serial cable - Verify in "Advanced Port Settings" for the selected COM port that it is using FIFO buffers and the receive buffer is set to high. 5.0 WEB Sites and Support Phone Number 5.1 IBM Support Web Site: http://www.ibm.com/pc/support 5.2 IBM Marketing eserver Web Site: http://www.ibm.com/eserver/xseries 5.3 Software service and support Through IBM Support Line, you can get telephone assistance, for a fee, with usage, configuration, and software problems with xSeries servers, IntelliStation workstations, and appliances.
