2.2 Update Firmware
Firmware updates are available on the Sonnet Web site.
The ATTO FastStream controller in the Fusion RX1600Fibre has
several processors which control the flow of data. The firmware
to control these processors can be upgraded in the field using
the Sonnet Web Management Tool. Be sure all data is backed up
before updating firmware to prevent data loss.
1. The Fusion RX1600Fibre firmware is distributed as an image
file (.ima). Download the appropriate firmware file from the
Sonnet Web site (http://www.sonnettech.com/support/)
or insert the Installation CD containing the file into your
computer.
2. If you’re not already in the Sonnet Web Management Tool,
type the IP address of your RX1600Fibre in a standard
browser. On the splash screen, click Enter Here. In the box
provided, type in your user name and password, and then
click OK.

Process box, select Update the Firmware.
6. Click Next. The Firmware Update page appears. See
Figure 41 on page 50.
7. If you know the name and location of the .ima file, enter it
into the text box provided. If you do not know the file name
and location, click Browse to navigate to the new firmware
and click it until the file name appears in the text box.
8. Click Upload.
9. Wait for a success message to be displayed.

RX1600Fibre. Interrupting the update process makes your
Fusion storage system inoperable and you must return it to Sonnet
for repair.
