        SPP_PDC:
                An error in the LPMC handler code will sometimes cause
                a Data Memory Protection Fault and a panic.

     * * * * * * * IDENTIFY CURRENT VERSION OF FIRMWARE * * * * * * *

          Prior to performing the firmware update, verify the current
          version of your firmware, using the following steps:

          Step 1. In a diagnostic window on the Test Station of your
                   system execute the following command:

                       diag_version

                   Identify the diagnostic revision. The output from the

                  above command should be one of the following:

                       Exemplar Diagnostics, Version 5.2
                       Exemplar Diagnostics, Version 5.2.2
                       Exemplar Diagnostics, Version 5.2.1

                   If not then do not proceed with this update.

   * * * * * * * * MOVING FIRMWARE TO CORRECT DIRECTORY * * * * * * *

   Step 1. Install the new PDC firmware in the correct directory
            by executing the following commands in any diagnostic
            window on the Test Station:

         mv -f /spp/firmware/spp.pdc /spp/firmware/spp.pdc_301
         mv CV220108.frm /spp/firmware/spp.pdc

   Step 2. Verify that the permissions and user/group ids are properly set
            on the file /spp/firmware/spp.pdc. The user and group must be
            set to sppuser. Change the user/group with the following commands:

         chown sppuser /spp/firmware/spp.pdc
         chgrp sppuser /spp/firmware/spp.pdc

             The file permissions should be at least 0444. Change the
             permission with the following command:

         chmod 0444 /spp/firmware/spp.pdc

             The file permissions/ownership should look like this when you
             are finished.

         -r--r--r-- 1 sppuser sppuser 225464 Jan 24 2000 spp.pdc

   Step 3. Verify that you are installing the correct version by SPP_PDC
            by executing the following command in any diagnostic
            window on the Test Station:

        what /spp/firmware/spp.pdc

            The output should read (the date/time may differ):

        /spp/firmware/spp.pdc:
                SPP_PDC (64-bit) Release 3.0.2 (01/04/01 13:38:14)

     * * * * * * * * * * FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE * * * * * * * * * *

          Step 1. If your system is at the OS level then shutdown the
                   system via the /etc/shutdown command to the OBP prompt.
                   When the system completes the shutdown process, either
                   the "Command: " or "[] ok " prompt should be displayed
                   in the console window.

          Step 2. If the "Command: " prompt is displayed then execute the
                   following command to switch to the Forth interface:

                       fm

          Step 3. Execute the following commands at the OBP prompt:

                       fwcp 15.99.111.99:/spp/firmware/spp.pdc spp_pdc

          Step 4. Now reset the system by executing the command:

                       reset

                   and wait for the OBP prompt.

          Step 5. Now boot the system as normal. The Banner should show
                   that SPP_PDC 3.0.2 is installed, and it should look like
                   this:

                       SPP_PDC (64-bit) Release 3.0.2 (01/04/01 13:38:14)
