It's a PE 2550, the actual power supply fans appear to be functional. The update for the ESM firmware appears to require a windows OS installed, which I have linux & there doesn't appear to be another method of updating the ESM firmware. If the ESM is dead, which it appears to somehow be, will the system still operate normally?
1. Download the .exe file to a directory on your hard drive. The file
downloaded is a self-extracting executable.
2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
The files may be un-zipped to floppy disk or hard drive(if the hard drive
is in the system to be updated).
3. After the files have been un-zipped, you may delete the self-
extracting file downloaded in step 1.
MS-DOS Version
1. Boot the system requiring the update to DOS.
2. Insert the diskette created above or change to the directory on the
hard drive where the files were un-zipped.
3. At the DOS prompt, type "SMFLSH". This will run SMFLSH.EXE
4. Answer “Y” at the prompt to begin the upgrade.
Hi, I've updated firmwares and the error message is still the same. It appears the system is still usable even though the ESM is "not fully operational", can anyone verify that this is indeed the case? Thanks!
