I have an F720 that was running OnTAP 5.2.x and I upgraded it to OnTAP 6.1. Unfortunately (and there are a couple of these), I forgot to update the motherboard firmware first. Normally not a big deal, except this F720 happens to be in the Phillipines and I'm in Dallas, a 14 hour time difference.
Luckily enough, the F720 boots up, but it complains that the firmware is too old and that I should upgrade to 2.3. The latest firmware available is 2.8, but when we tried to update the firmware, we got an error after the program started running: The attempt to load a boot image failed. It then drops back to the ok prompt and the firmware is not updated.
Does anyone know if I have to first update the firmware to 2.3 and then to 2.8? It's been a long time since I have had to do this operation, and I don't think it ever covered such a span of versions.
