To outline the steps required to upgrade a NOE module using Unity Pro 2.2 or higher
OS loader. Please note that prior version of the OS loader are not compatible with
this revision of the firmware. You MUST be at the proper OS loader revision of 2.2 or
higher.
Applicable Modules
140NOE77111 Kernel 1.0 or higher with any version of Firmware.
Resulting Module after upgrade
140NOE77111 Kernel 2.0 or higher, Firmware V5.0.
Overview
The upgrade of a NOE module requires multiple steps. Two components must be
considered to be upgraded, the Kernel and the Firmware version. Not all steps listed
below may be required depending on the version of the NOE module before this
upgrade procedure is started.
Pre-conditions
The CPU module must be in STOP mode and the NOE must have NO TCP traffic.
A loss of power during the upgrade may cause the NOE module to be inoperable.
Make sure the power supply on the NOE module rack will not be interrupted during
the upgrade.
Note: OS Version numbers displayed in screenshots of following steps are only
examples.

Step 1
Verify the Kernel and Firmware using Concept Exec Loader or Unity OS loader or
NOE web page.
For modules that have Kernel V1.0 and Firmware lower than V3.0, you must upgrade
to Kernel V2.0 and Firmware V3.30 using the Concept Exec Loader.
For modules that have Kernel V2.0 or higher and Firmware V3.0 or higher, you must
upgrade to Firmware V4.2 using the Unity OS loader v2.2 or higher.
Step 2
Select the filename to download based on the Current Module Version in the
following table:
