MSA 2040 firmware upgrade path

[nstojanoski]

Hello,

I have MSA2040 with current firmware GL100R003-02

Should I upgrade like this: GL100R003-02 -> GL105P003 -> GL210R004 -> GL225P002-02 or I can just upgrade to the latest GL225P002-02 and do a factory reset? I don't need to keep any data I'll be configuring it from scratch.

Also, the CF card are not working and I can't have both SC active. If I pull out B then A is working, if I pull A then B is working, if I power on A and push B in I have orange blinking on the B SC.

Should I order new CF's and wait for them or I can do the upgrade path on SC A and then on SC B ?

Regards,
Nikola

Hi Nicola,

my known Upgrade Path is: GL1xxx > GL200P002 > GL220P008 > GL225P002

Maybe you will get a second opinion for confirmation.

You can Upgrade the Controller Independent, but I don't think anyone here will give you an official GO in this situation.
