Determining firmware levels
There are two different methods to determine the DCS3700 storage system and DCS3700 expansion
enclosure firmware versions. Each method uses the DS Storage Manager client that manages the DCS3700
storage subsystem with the attached storage expansion enclosure.
Method One:
Go to the Subsystem Management window and select View → Storage Subsystem Profile . When the
Storage Subsystem Profile window opens, select the All tab and scroll through Profile For Storage
Subsystem to locate the following information.
Note: The Profile For Storage Subsystem windows contains all the profile information for the entire
subsystem. Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through a large amount of information to locate
the firmware version numbers.

Method Two:
Complete the appropriate procedure to obtain the specified firmware version.
To obtain the controller firmware version:
Click on the Controller icon in the left pane of the Physical View tab of the Subsystem
Management window. The properties of the controller will be displayed in the right pane of the
Physical view tab.
You must perform this step for each individual controller.
