7218.0. "NIC Firmware Upgrade for 5100" by ZPOVC::TEKKEE () Thu May 29 1997 22:36

Hi,
  Wonder if there're anyone out there who know where we can acquire a set
of the NIC Firmware Upgrade Kit for DEClaser 5100.

  5000.9-5000.11 mentioned that the part number for this is LN09X-NU and
can be ordered by sending the order form to Brian Rufiange or Leroy Quarles.
However, the notes also mentioned that Brain's and Leroy's job function had
been shut down in December 1995.

  We have a couple of 5100s with NIC option but the NIC firmware version
is V2.30 E01, and the TCPIP option is not enabled. The DEClaser 5100
Ethernet Card User's Guide Addendum described procedure to reset the NIC
card to factory default. The procedure doesn't work for V2.30 version of NIC.
The Addendum also stated that the procedure described in it only works for
version V3.05 NIC firmware, which the NIC Firmware Upgrade Kit will bring
the NIC up to.

  Our purchasing department told us that LN09X-NU is not listed in their
sales order system. Even the LN09 Ethernet card is end-of-line. Hence the
need to turn to "non-traditional source".

  Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,

Tek Kee @ZPOVC
