e. On jumper block J4, move the jumper from position 2-3 to position 1-2 (see
Figure A-1
and Figure 2-3). Re-install the adapter in the PCI slot in which it was
previously installed.
f. Replace the cover, reconnect all power cords and power up the system.
2. Change your computer’s BIOS setting so that your system boots from the CD-ROM.
3. Use the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM to flash the firmware.
a. Boot the computer with the bootable RAID Software Suite CD-ROM that
contains the version of the RAID firmware that you wish to recover.
b. At the ROM-DOS Startup menu, select the option, Flash Recovery Utility, and
press <Enter>.
c. The Flash Recovery Utility detects any RAID controllers that are in reset mode
and lists them in the order that they are found.
Note:
Any RAID controllers that are not in reset mode will not be listed. If no
controllers are listed, your controller may not be in reset mode. Shut down the
system and start again with step 1 above. Refer to
Figure A-1
and Figure 2-3 to
set the jumper in reset mode.
d. Type a controller number to start the recovery process for the firmware on that
controller. You do not need to press Enter after typing the number. You will see
the messages shown below during a successful recovery. Each message provides
a percent complete status while the action is in progress. The entire process may
take several minutes.
