Chapter 5. Updating the firmware
This chapter provides instructions on how to update the firmware of the storage array.
You can update the firmware through one of the following methods:
• Using the out-of-band RS232 console
• Using the ThinkServer Storage Array Utility program
Note:
It is recommended that you use the out-of-band RS232 console to update the firmware.
Using the RS-232 console
The RS-232 console uses the Xmodem protocol to update the firmware of your storage array. Before you
start, prepare a computer that meets the following requirements:
• Has an available DB9 serial connector.
• Has a serial-connector configuration program installed, such as the SecureCRT program.
To update the firmware of your storage array, do the following:
1. Connect one end of the DB9-to-RJ11 debug cable (provided in your storage array package) to the
debug connector on the rear I/O module of the storage array. Then, connect the other end of the debug
cable to the DB9 serial connector on the computer.
2. Start the serial-connector configuration program.
Note:
The following steps are based on the scenario that SecureCRT is started. If you are using a
different serial-connector configuration program, the procedure is similar.
3. On the menu bar, click
