This publication describes how to determine if you need to upgrade the ROMMON on your Catalyst 6000 family or Cisco 7600 series Internet Router Supervisor Engine 2 (WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2, WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2) and also provides the procedure to download the new ROMMON image from Cisco.com and then upgrade the ROMMON on your Supervisor Engine 2.

With this procedure, you can upgrade the ROMMON image similar to the way that you upgrade the operating system software (supervisor engine software or MSFC Cisco IOS software). Without this procedure, you have to order the upgrade kit and physically replace the ROMMON (boot ROM).
