Part Number: WS-C6K-BOOT=
This document describes how to determine if you need to upgrade the network management processor (NMP) boot ROM on your Catalyst 6000 family supervisor engine and also provides a boot ROM upgrade procedure.
This document consists of these sections:
To check if you need to upgrade the boot ROM on your supervisor engine, follow these steps:
Step 1 If not installed in a running chassis already, install the supervisor engine in the switch and boot the switch. (Refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Module Installation Guide for installation instructions.)
Step 2 With the switch up and running, enter the show version command to check the NMP boot ROM version number on the supervisor engine.
Check the Fw version. The Fw version number is the NMP boot ROM version.
If the NMP boot ROM version is release 5.1(1), you must upgrade the NMP boot ROM.
This example shows how to check the boot ROM version:

In this example, the NMP boot ROM (Fw) version is release 5.1(1).
 | Caution Always use an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling modules or coming into contact with internal components. |
To upgrade the NMP boot ROM in the supervisor engine, follow these steps:
Step 1 If not already removed, remove the supervisor engine from the Catalyst 6000 family switch (refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Module Installation Guide for removal instructions).
Step 2 Place the supervisor engine on an antistatic mat or foam.
Step 3 Locate the NMP boot ROM on the supervisor engine (see Figure 1).
Step 4 To extract the NMP boot ROM from the motherboard, slide the tips of the programmable logic controller chip (PLCC) extractor tool into the socket extraction slots until the angled tips are beneath the boot ROM device (see Figure 2).
Holding the tool as shown in Figure 2, remove the chip from the socket by squeezing the handles of the extraction tool evenly and pulling the boot ROM device straight upward until it is released from the socket. Use care not to damage the boot ROM device or the socket.
Step 5 Place the extracted NMP boot ROM in an antistatic bag.
Step 6 Carefully remove the release 5.3(1) NMP boot ROM from its packaging.
Step 7 Insert the new NMP boot ROM in the boot ROM socket on the motherboard. Be sure to orient the boot ROM so that the notched corner of the chip matches the notched corner of the socket (see Figure 3). Press the boot ROM into place evenly and firmly until it is completely seated in the socket.
| Caution Make sure you orient the chip to the socket correctly. If the chip is oriented to the socket improperly, you can damage both the chip and the socket. |
Step 8 Install the supervisor engine in the Catalyst 6000 family switch (refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family Module Installation Guide for installation instructions) and boot the switch.
Step 9 When the system comes online, use the show version command to verify that the supervisor engine Fw version is release 5.3(1).
