An important note:
The IR5000 has 2 ROM DIMM slots.
J1010 holds the Main BOOT ROM
J1009 is normally empty. It is used exclusively as a ROM DIMM
programming slot.
In order to update the IR5000 BOOT ROM you must first obtain another
ROM DIMM and insert it into J1009
This ROM DIMM does not have to be blank
The flash procedure will program the ROM DIMM in J1009
After the flash procedure move the ROM DIMM from J1009 to and replace
the ROM DIMM in J1010
The older ROM DIMM in J1010 can be now be used for future Boot ROM
upgrades
