  1. Reboot the STMIX via SSH or power cycle the card via re-plug.
  2. Ensure the STMIX BIOS settings.
    In the terminal you will see the STMIX booting. Immediately press ESC or DEL to access the BIOS Setup.

    You should now see in the dhcp/tftpd program popup messages with the allocated IP address and the files loading to STMIX.

    The output in the STMIX terminal should now show:
    • Loading vmlinuz.....
    • Loading initrd......
    The loader will be started and will fetch the image. Should see in terminal “Will fetch the following image: http://192.0.2.100/STMIX_JeOS_SLES11_SP4.x86_64-V10_R0.28.0.tar.gz

    The Fileserver will show in log screen the image and checksum loaded.

    It will write the image to either sda2 or sda3, which will activate the partition and will reboot.

    SDA2 will be written if SDA3 was the last known good partition that still booted.
    SDA3 will be written if SDA2 was the last known good partition that still booted.
  4. The STMIX should now boot from the just written sda2/sda3 which will be automatically activated by the flashing process (and become READY in RMX if configured).
    INFO:
    When flashing more than one STMIX board in a row, before the next PXE boot process clear the DHCP Server cache (tftpd program’s DHCP Server tab, right click on already used allocation and Delete). Otherwise, it will not allocate the IP address 192.0.2.101 again to another MAC address.
