Since the RAID controller features flash firmware, it is not necessary to change
the hardware flash chip in order to upgrade the RAID firmware. The user can
simply re-program the firmware through the RS-232 port or Lan port. New
releases of firmware are available in the form of a DOS file. The file available at
the FTP site is usually a self-extracting file that contains the following:
AXSxxxxFIRM.BIN is Firmware Binary,
AXSxxxxBOOT.BIN is Boot code,
AXSxxxxMBR0.BIN is Main boot code
Y3-xxS6xxx Firmware Release Notes.txt It contains the history information of
the firmware change. Read this file first before upgrading the firmware.

The firmware can be downloaded to the RAID controller by using an ANSI/
VT-100 compatible terminal emulation program or HTTP web browser manager.
You must complete the appropriate installation procedure before proceeding
with this firmware upgrade. Please refer to Software Operation Manual: Chapter
5.3, “VT100 terminal (Using the controller’s serial port)” for details on
establishing the connection. Whichever terminal emulation program is used
must support the ZMODEM file transfer protocol.
Web browser-based RAID manager can be used to update the firmware. You
must complete the appropriate installation procedure before proceeding with
this firmware upgrade. Please refer to Software Operation Manual: chapter 4.1,
“Web browser-based RAID manager (Using the controller’s Ethernet port)” for
details on establishing the connection.
