Perform Crisis Reflash from LS-120 drive

The EPC-3311 Crisis Reflash Program can boot and reflash from 1.44MB floppy diskette inserted in an IDE LS-120 Superdrive installed on either the on-board IDE connector or the RTM IDE connector.

1. Ensure that you have the following:

• The files in nnnncris.zip.

• (Optional) An installed RadiSys POST card. The LS-120 crisis reflash gives no other indication of progress or completion. If you don't have a POST

Card, wait 3 minutes and try the BIOS.

2. Disconnect IDE devices from all IDE connectors and busses, including devices on the MM50 and the CompactFlash.

3. Jumper the LS-120 drive as IDE Master.

4. Create a Crisis Reflash diskette:

This process is supported only on MS Windows. Linux is not supported.

A. Insert a1.44MB 2HD IBM/DOS formatted diskette in floppy drive A: of the system where you unzipped the nnnncris.zip file. Make sure the floppy is not write-protected.

Ensure that the data on the disk is either not valuable or backed up.

This process will re-format the diskette and erase all previous data.
