NOTE:
The Broadcom NIC drivers in
your cluster node must be
Windows 2000 Advanced Server,
version 2.43 or later.
NOTE:
The Broadcom NIC firmware
version must be 1.12 or later. The
integrated Broadcom NIC firmware
revisions were created in ascending
order, starting with version 1.1 and
ending with 1.12 or later.
Consequently, version 1.2 is an earlier
version than version 1.12. To upgrade
the firmware, at the prompt, type
upgf x boot y
where
x
is the
device number of the integrated
Broadcom NIC and
y
is the drive
letter of where the firmware file is
located. The utility upgrades the
integrated NIC firmware in your
system. The driver and utility to
upgrade the firmware are available on
the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com
