A.5 Updating Firmware Using XROM StorCon
There are two options for updating the firmware, BIOS and XROM StorCon currently
programmed on the flash memory of the RAID controller:
•
Use the Storage Console (StorCon) to update the firmware image as explained in this
section.
•
Run the Firmware Recovery and Update Utility (FRUU) from a bootable CD or
diskette as explained in
Section A.4 .
You cannot use StorCon to recover the firmware, but you can use it to update the
firmware. For information about update vs. recover, see
Section A.2 .
Note:
The Firmware Update option is not available when StorCon is accessing the RAID
Controller remotely.
To Update the Firmware with StorCon
1. Download the firmware image containing the latest programs/drivers from the
website. Format a 3.5” HD disk (1.44MB) and copy the firmware file onto the disk.
2. With the adapter installed in the system, boot the computer and press <Ctrl>+<G>
when prompted to enter the BIOS version of StorCon.
3. Select the applicable RAID controller and press <Enter>.
4. If the Express Setup menu is displayed, press <F4> to display the Advanced Setup
menu. Select the menu option, Configure Controller and press <Enter>. Insert the
floppy containing the latest firmware file into the floppy disk drive.
5. From the Configure Controller submenu, select Firmware Update and press <Enter>.
6. XROM StorCon automatically searches for the firmware file from the floppy drive, a:\.
After finding the file, StorCon displays the name, description and version of the
firmware. Press <Enter>.
7. StorCon reads and checks the firmware file, then displays a warning. Press <Y> to
confirm the firmware update.
8. StorCon programs the flash eprom.
Warning:
Do not interrupt the update process to avoid damaging the firmware image in the
Flash. If the firmware is interrupted you will need to follow the firmware recovery
process in the next section.
After StorCon indicates that the update is complete, press any key.
9. The focus returns to the Configure Controller submenu. Press <Esc> several times to
close the menus and press <Y> to quit StorCon.
10. StorCon detects the firmware update and requires a system reboot. Press any key to
reboot.
When the update process has completed, reboot the computer for the change to take effect.
During boot up, the system displays the updated firmware version. You can also relaunch
StorCon and select the applicable RAID controller to view its new firmware version at the
bottom of the console (for example, FW:2.34.yy-Rzzz).
