To add extra function to your Advanced SerialRAID/X Adapter, you
must first download the required firmware and software from the SSA
World Wide Web page at:

http://www.hursley.ibm.com/ssa/pcserver

This Installation Guide asks you to install firmware and software from
CD-ROMs and also from diskettes. However, because the code is
only available from the SSA World Wide Web, you must first visit
the above web page, and select ‘Download Latest Code Levels’.

After agreeing to the license, select the correct operating system
and adapter (the Advanced SerialRAID/X Adapter is identified as
‘LL05’).

For Windows NT, download the ‘All in one (ll05)’ package. This
self-extracting package will load the necessary code into the correct
directories as follows:
1.

c:\issa\update\driver

which will contain the device-driver software. If asked to load
device-driver software from the CD-ROM, you must instead
load the software from this directory.

2.

c:\issa\update\rsm

 

which will contain the event logger and Remote System 
Management (RSM) software. If asked to load the event

 

logger from the CD-ROM, you must instead load the code from 
this directory.

3. 

c:\issa\update\ssaflash

which will contain the SSA-adapter microcode.

Refer to Chapter 5 of this manual for details about downloading 
the SSA-disk-drive microcode.

For NetWare, download the Host Software, Adapter Microcode and
RSM for NetWare packages. These self-extracting packages allow
you to create the required diskettes or data directories.
