• A standard Ethernet/network cable (length dependent on proximity of Laptop to array).
• The correct version of the new VMA32xx firmware (.upg file) downloaded onto the Laptop.
Example: v3000-a5-1-3-x8-slc.upg
Downloading the VMA Array firmware file to the Laptop
This procedure is only required once per firmware version being upgraded. Once the firmware
upgrade file is downloaded to the Laptop, multiple VMA Arrays can be upgraded using the same
firmware .upg file if appropriate.
1. Create a new folder on the Laptop for the firmware upgrade files. For this example, the folder
C:\VMAupgrade is used. Note that the higher within the file system hierarchy and closest to
root, the easier it will be to enter the file paths as part of the firmware copy to the array.
2. Navigate to the file folder containing the PuTTY application and pscp.exe file. Create a
copy of the file pscp.exe (the pscp utility) in the C:\VMAupgrade folder created in step
2.b by copying and pasting the file. The PuTTY Secure Copy client (PSCP), is a tool for
transferring files securely between computers using an SSH connection.
