Figure 3-96 Flashing New Firmware
Warning:
If you attempt to flash new firmware to the disk drive or controller while
background jobs are running (the drive is transferring data), drive operation could
become unpredictable and the drive may even become inoperable. In this event, drive
data recovery may have to be performed by a professional data recovery lab.
After you enter the filename of the image, click FLASH . TPM then verifies the image size
and type for your subsystem. If verification fails, a report is made.
Flashing the firmware takes a few seconds, following which TPM immediately jumps to
the
Reset Controller screen. Allow the reset to proceed.
Be sure you are aware of all the information that you need before upgrading (or
downgrading) to certain firmware revisions.
