NVM and Firmware • Non-volatile memory (NVM) • Firmware upgrade 2 n May 2007 -- HP Restricted
Topic 1: Non-volatile memory • Non-volatile memory (NVM) is data that is preserved in the MFP through a power cycle or power loss • Stored in the following locations: • Engine Main PCA (A 5) • Scanner Control PCA (A 501) • ADF Control PCA (A 401) • Finisher Main PCA (A 200) • MFP Coprocessor hard drive • Formatter Main PCA (contains NVRAM) and hard drive 3 May 2007 -- HP Restricted
Types of NVM data • Customer data – Includes stored jobs, digital send information (email addresses, names, networking information, MFP IP address) For privacy and security, service and support staff cannot handle customer data! – Customer data is backed up and restored by system administrator • Machine data – Job settings, calibration values, usage counters, system logs, model configuration – Machine data is backed up and restored by service personnel 4 May 2007 -- HP Restricted
Backup modes for NVM machine data Internal • • Stored on formatter hard disk • Performed by CDFT-E or CDFT-L Performed automatically on a regular basis (you must enable this – defaults to 1 x a week) • External • 5 • Stored on CD, USB device, or laptop • Performed by CDFT-L or CDFT-E (USB only) • Keep backup CD with MFP (recommended) May 2007 -- HP Restricted

Topic 2: Perform firmware upgrade • 2 -step process: • Download firmware image file to a buffer in the MFP, using any of the following: – When in startup menu: • Download from CDFT-L using USB 2. 0 (no USB flash drive) – When MFP is in “ready” state: • • CDFT-L using LAN FTP CDFT-L using USB (not recommended, slow) HP Web Jetadmin • Upgrade firmware – happens automatically during bootup if MFP detects different firmware version in buffer 8 May 2007 -- HP Restricted
