E. After you have set the controller parameters, press the Esc key. At the Save
altered controller configuration? prompt, select Yes to save the
parameters you have set. Note that if you ran the utility from the CD-ROM, you
cannot save the parameters.
F. Exit from the utility. You will be returned to the ARC firmware Boot menu. You are
ready to update the RAID controller firmware, as described next.
Step 3: Update the RAID controller firmware.
A. From the Boot menu, select Run a Program. If you are running the utility from
the floppy, enter the following at the Program to Run: prompt:
a:swxcrfw
filenam e .xxx
Or, if you are running the utility from the CD-ROM, enter:
cd:\utility\swxcrmgr\swxcrfw
filename . xxx
Filename.xxx is the firmware filename, and xxx is the firmware version you want to
load. For multiple controllers, update EISA firmware files first, followed by PCI files.
Review the following examples.
Filename for Single EISA Controller
swxcrfw swxcrfwa.216
Filename for Single PCI Controller
swxcrfw swxcrfwp.219
Filenames for Multiple Controllers
swxcrfw swxcrfwa.216 swxcrfwa.216 swxcrfwp.219
