Firmware Upgrades
QLogic 8100 Series Converged Network Adapters ship with the latest firmware
version. QLogic periodically releases new firmware versions, which can be
downloaded from the QLogic Web site as part of a multi-boot image. Always use
the latest firmware versions for enhanced performance and availability.
QLogic does not publish an image that contains just the firmware, but rather
publishes a package (known as
boot code or multi-boot image ) that contains the
firmware, BIOS drivers, UEFI drivers, and offline utilities. To update the firmware,
you must update the boot code on the QLogic 8100 Series Adapters. QLogic
publishes one boot code for all operating systems and QLogic 8100 Series
Adapter models.
