Firmware Update Procedure via XROM ICPCON
There are two options for updating the firmware, BIOS and XROM ICPCON currently
programmed on the flash memory of the RAID controller:
•
Use the ICP RAID Console (ICPCON) to update the firmware image as explained in
this section. If your OS does not support the firmware update with ICPCON, use the
Firmware Update and Recovery Utility (FRUU) as described in the next bullet item.
•
Run the Firmware Recovery and Update Utility (FRUU) from a bootable CD or
diskette as explained in
Section A.2
.
Note:
The Firmware Update option is not available when ICPCON is accessing the RAID
Controller remotely.
Follow the procedure below to update the firmware via XROM ICPCON.
1. Download the firmware image containing the latest programs/drivers from the web
site. Format a 3.5” HD disk (1.44MB) and copy the SRC_RXFW file onto the disk.
2. With the adapter installed in the system, boot the computer and press <Ctrl>+<G>
when prompted to enter the BIOS version of ICPCON.
Note:
When upgrading a major firmware version number (e.g. 2.32.00 to 2.33.00), it will be
necessary to boot to DOS and run ICPCON.exe in order to perform your firmware
upgrade.
3. Select the applicable ICP RAID Controller and press <Enter>.
4. If the Express Setup menu is displayed, press <F4> to display the Advanced Setup
menu. Select the menu option, Configure Controller and press <Enter>. Insert the
floppy containing the latest firmware file into the floppy disk drive.
5. From the Configure Controller submenu, select Firmware Update and press <Enter>.
