Firmware upgrade without means to load image onto the machine

    I have a p615 (7026-6C3) that posted a 20EE000B error, and the recommendation is to upgrade the firmware to version 080425. I downloaded the image in DOS format, created the four diskettes and came up to the Service Processor Menu. I selected option 1 for Setup, then option 7 for Reprogram Flash EPROM.

    I followed all the steps, and when I went to insert the Volume 1 diskette, I discovered that it has no diskette drive!

    I cannot boot the AIX O/S to install the image by FTP, so how can I get the machine to upgrade the new firmware image? It has a CDROM drive, but I didn't see any instructions on recording the image to a CDR (which I can do on my PC if necessary).

    I believ that the firmware upgrade instructions should have new options for a CDROM or for a remote load.

    Can you help me? The server is down for now.

    Thanks!

    Raymond
