Appendix C Upgrading the
Firmware
The AA-3102RS controller’s firmware resides in the Flash Memory that
can be updated through the COM ports or In-band SCSI. New
releases of the firmware are available in the form of a DOS file:
FW30Bxyz
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
directory in drive C.
•
Allow the downloading process to finish. Do not
reset or turn off the computer or the controller
while it is downloading the file. Doing so may
result in an unrecoverable error that requires the
service of the manufacturer.
•
While the firmware is new, the boot record that
comes with it may be the same version as the
one in the controller. If this is the case, there is
no need to upgrade the Boot Record Binary.
