APPENDIX

A-2 Upgrading Firmware Through McRAID Storage Manager

Get the new version firmware for your RAID storage. For example,

download the bin file from your OEM’s web site onto the C: drive.

1. To upgrade the RAID storage firmware, move the mouse cursor

to “Upgrade Firmware” link. The “Upgrade The Raid System

Firmware or Boot Rom” screen appears.

2. Click "Browse". Look in the location to which the Firmware

upgrade software was downloaded. Select the file name and click

“Open”.

3. Click “Confirm The Operation” and press the “Submit” button.

4. The web browser begins to download the firmware binary to the

controller and start to update the flash ROM.

5. After the firmware upgrade is complete, a bar indicator will show

“Firmware Has Been Updated Successfully”.

6. After the new firmware completes downloading, find a chance to

restart the controller/computer for the new firmware to take effect.

The web browser-based McRAID storage manager can be accessed

through the in-band Thunderbolt port or out-of-band LAN port.

The in-band method uses the ArcHttp proxy server to launch the

McRAID storage manager. The out-of-band method allows local or

remote to access the McRAID storage manager from any standard

internet browser via a LAN or WAN with no software or patches

required.
