Mylex PCI RAID Controllers
The Flash Utility is used to upgrade firmware, BIOS, boot block, and BIOS
Configuration Utility software by “flashing” the new code stored in an
identified .IMG file to the on-board BIOS of the Mylex PCI Disk Array
Controller. As maintenance releases of this code become available, this
utility allows you to keep your controller current using GAM or WSAM.
