Replace the firmware as follows:
1. If the firmware is being replaced on an installed controller card, remove
the card, see “Removing the primary or redundant controller card” in this
chapter, placing the controller card on an anti-static mat.
2. Locate the PROM to be replaced, IC U1, U2, or U6 (figure 6-12).
