Updating Controller Firmware
The following information describes the procedures to update the firmware on
the RAID Controller. The preferred method is to take the system off-line first, then
perform the upgrade. This prevents bus reset errors.
1
Obtain the new or updated controller firmware file. You may download the
file from the support section of our web site.
2
Connect the USB end of the NexStor Communication cable to the RS-232
Service port on the RAID Controller. The cable is included with the storage
system.
