With either that NMC or another NMC is there an alarm light on it? And if you looking at the performance trouble lights in TCM for the NMC is there a manangement bus problem?

This does not format the flash, or it doesn't appear to because I did it several times, even with the older flash of 6.0.28 (also from the KB) which was said to cause the flash to be formatted, but alas it wasn't. In another KB solution there was the command to use AT{ZF} which would force a format, however that did not work. It seems really odd that the NMC would store the chassis card information indefinitely since that information is dynamic as you add/remove cards. Yet this one slot (15) seems to be permanently stuck in the memory of this card. At 11:40 AM 9/16/2002 -0400, you wrote:
Taken directly from commworks knowledge base:
How to upgrade the Total Control HiPer NMC through the console connection:
(For a faster download set dipswitches 1 and 2 to the on position on the HiPer NMC card and set your terminal emulation software (Hyperterminal...) to a 57600 connection rate)
1. Make console connection to HiPer NMC card.
2. Reseat NMC card or choose command and reset from NMC console menu. 3. When you see BIOS Extension Link..... and the bottom of the screen is blank, enter this command: AT{Z} (it is case sensitive and must be in CAPS). You should see a message that says Begin download now and a line similar to the one below will appear and be repeated until the file is transferred or until the NAC times out. B0000000023be50 B0000000023be50
4. Using the terminal program, select the appropriate commands to send a file using the ZMODEM protocol (From Hyperterminal: choose the Transfer option, send file, set protocol to ZMODEM and browse to find the file). The file name should end with .DMF.
5. There will be some delay as the download is processed.
6.If the download is successful, a message similar to the following should appear: 0; Download Successful: File = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
7. The card will then reboot.

Still dealing with the NMC problem.
Would like to format the flash and reload a new image on the card.
The instructions say to enter AT{ZF} to initiate a format before the image is uploaded, however the NMC ignores that command, the only thing it appears to recognize is AT{Z}.
The problem I'm having is that slot 15 (rear view) is showing a red ?, it doesn't matter what chassis I have this NMC card in, so it is definitely NMC card related.
The hardware rev on the NMC is 3.0 it is the newest version of NMC.
