Upgrading a Sensor BIOS

To upgrade the Bios on the IDS4235 or IDS4250, follow these steps:

Note

You have to use a directly connected keyboard and monitor for this procedure. A console connection will not work.

Copy the file Bios_A04.exe from the Cisco IDS 4.0(1) Upgrade/Recovery CD located off of the root in /BIOS to a temp folder on your Windows workstation. If you do not have the CD, you can download it from Cisco.com.

Insert a 1.44MB floppy diskette into your workstation.

Execute the BIOS update file. Double-click BIOS_A04.exe. This creates the BIOS update diskette.

Take the new BIOS diskette and insert it into your IDS-4235 or IDS-4250.

Boot the sensor from the BIOS diskette and follow the instructions displayed. Do not reboot or power off until this process has completed.

With the upgrade finished, remove the diskette and reboot the sensor.
