XMODEM woes

[netops01]

Brand new Sup 720, fresh out of the box. Comes up in rommode, as I would expect. No IOS images at all installed. Try to XMODEM IOS to it and will not take image. Fails load fails the instant I start. Tried different IOS image, same error. Tried second Sup 720 and got the same result. Tried different laptop to XMODEM, same result.

Any ideas?

Both are ew Supv 720's. In slots 5 & 6 of 6506 chassis. 3000W PSU's and high speed fan tray fitted.

HELP!!

Are you using Hyperterminal ???
