6.2 Upgrading the RAID Controller’s Firmware
Upgrading Firmware Using Flash Programming Utility
Since the RAID subsystem’s controller features flash firmware, it is not necessary to
change the hardware flash chip in order to upgrade the controller firmware. User can
simply re-program the old firmware through the RS-232 port. New releases of the
firmware are available in the form of binary file at vendor’s FTP. The file available at the
FTP site is usually a self-extracting file that contains the following:
XXXXVVV.BIN
Firmware Binary (where “XXXX” refers to the model name and
“VVV” refers to the firmware version)
README.TXT
It contains the history information of the firmware change. Read this file
first before upgrading the firmware.
These files must be extracted from the compressed file and copied to one directory in the
host computer.
Establishing the Connection for the RS-232
The firmware can be downloaded to the RAID subsystem’s controller using an ANSI/VT-
100 compatible terminal emulation program or web browser-based RAID Manager
remote management page.
With terminal emulation program, you must complete the appropriate installation and
configuration procedure before proceeding with the firmware upgrade. Whichever
terminal emulation program is used must support the ZMODEM file transfer protocol.
Web browser-based RAID Manager can be used to update the firmware. A web browser
must have been setup before proceeding with the firmware upgrade.
