To update the firmware from the SRM console, do the following:
1.
Insert the Firmware Update CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2.
Type the show device command to determine the device ID of the CD-ROM drive.
>>>show device

dka400.4.0.6.0 DKA400 TOSHIBA CD-ROM 0064

3.
Boot the Firmware Update Utility CD-ROM using the device ID display in step 2.
>>>b -fl 0,a0 dka400

(where x_x is the appropriate
version)
You should see a display similar to the following, while the update utility is loading
and executing:
