Update...

AMI 493 RAID controller firmware 
update and drive installation

If you add a new hard drive to an existing array that has an 
AMI 493 controller (firmware version B147 or older), the 
Power Console Plus software will scan the drive in a 
continuous loop.

To remedy this situation, do one of the following:

Use the interim solution to install a new drive, perform 
a migration, or create a new array.

- OR -

Update the controller firmware to version B148 or greater. 
The firmware update is located on the technical support 
page on the www.gatewayatwork.com Web site.

Interim solution:

1

Turn off the server.

2

Install the new hard drive.

3

Turn on the server.

4

During the server startup procedure, press C

TRL

+H to open 

the WebBIOS utility and perform the RAID migration or 
create another array for the new drive.

5

When done, exit WebBIOS, then reboot the server.

Important

If the firmware is not available, perform the interim solution.
