System Functions:

Upgrading Firmware

B.1 Upgrading Firmware

The RAID controller’s firmware resides in flash memory that can

be updated through the COM port, LAN port, or via In-band

SCSI/Fibre. New releases of firmware are available in the form of

a DOS file in the "pub" directory of Infortrend’s FTP site or on a

3.5" diskette. The file available at the FTP site is usually a self-

extracting file that contains the following:

FW30Dxyz Firmware Binary (where "xyz" refers to the firmware

version)

B30Buvw Boot Record Binary (where "uvw" refers to the boot

record version)

README.TXT Read this file first before upgrading the

firmware/boot record. It contains the most up-

to-date information which is very important to

the firmware upgrade and usage.

These files must be extracted from the compressed file and copied

to a directory in boot drive.

B.1.1 Background RS-232C Firmware Download: Single

Controller

Host I/Os will not be interrupted during the download process.

After the download process is completed, user should find a

chance to reset the controller for the new firmware to take effect.
