4. System BIOS firmware
5. All other firmware such as the DSA Preboot, LSI1078, ServeRAID MR10k,
ServeRAID MR10M, Fibre Channel HBAs, and others.
The next sections list the server components that require firmware updates.
Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) II firmware
You can update the RSA firmware from its Web interface, shown in Figure 5-1.
The update involves uploading two separate packet (PKT) files before you restart
the adapter.
In x3950 M2 multinode configurations, you should update the RSA II firmware
separately on each node preferably before forming a multinode partition.

FPGA firmware
This update is in the form of a bootable diskette or ISO image. If you have the
RSA II configured and connected to your network, you can use the Remote
Console feature to mount a remote diskette IMG file or ISO file, and boot the
x3850 M2 or x3950 M2 from the mounted IMG or ISO file.
On x3950 M2 multinode configurations, you can update the FPGA firmware
version on all chassis from the primary node by booting the IMG or ISO file from
the primary node.
At the completion of the FPGA update on the primary node, you will be prompted
to press
Enter
to power off all nodes in the same partition. See Example 5-1 on
