Upgrading FPGAs on <strong>the</strong> E-<strong>Series</strong><br />

This procedure is only <strong>for</strong> plat<strong>for</strong>m e<br />

E-<strong>Series</strong> Switch Fabric Modules (CC-E-SFM3) have two FPGAs that <strong>the</strong> SFMs use to boot. One is <strong>the</strong><br />

primary FPGA (A) and one is <strong>the</strong> backup (B), which is used only if <strong>the</strong> primary fails. The primary FPGA<br />

might occasionally require an upgrade when per<strong>for</strong>mance enhancements become available.<br />

Per<strong>for</strong>m an upgrade only when <strong>the</strong> system instructs you to do so; contact <strong>the</strong> Technical Assistance Center if<br />

you have any questions.<br />

Note: Upgrading <strong>the</strong> SFM FPGA image brings <strong>the</strong> SFM down, and can bring <strong>the</strong> entire switch fabric down<br />

depending on <strong>the</strong> plat<strong>for</strong>m. <strong>Force10</strong> recommends that you per<strong>for</strong>m this upgrade only during a<br />

maintenance window.<br />

Verifying that an FPGA Upgrade is Required<br />

During SFM bootup, <strong>the</strong> SFM compares <strong>the</strong> loaded FPGA image version against <strong>the</strong> FPGA version in <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>FTOS</strong> image. If <strong>the</strong>re is a mismatch, <strong>the</strong> FGPA image requires an upgrade, and <strong>the</strong> system displays a syslog<br />

message (Message 33). Since this check is per<strong>for</strong>med upon SFM bootup, Message 33 is displayed upon a<br />

hot insertion as well as during a system bootup.<br />

Message 34 FPGA Upgrade Required on E-<strong>Series</strong><br />

%RPM0-P:CP %TSM-5-SFM_REVISION_UPGRADE: Upgrade to FPGA revision 0x7.7.7<br />

A syslog message is displayed if <strong>the</strong> SFM cannot boot from <strong>the</strong> primary FPGA and boots from <strong>the</strong> backup.<br />

Use this message as an alert to schedule an SFM upgrade during <strong>the</strong> start of your next maintenance<br />

window.<br />
