Flash Memory Programming

2. Change your computer’s BIOS setting so that your system boots from the CD-ROM.

3. Use the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM to flash the firmware.

a. Boot the computer with the bootable RAID Software Suite CD-ROM that

contains the version of the RAID firmware that you wish to recover.

b. At the ROM-DOS Startup menu, select the option, Flash Recovery Utility, and

press <Enter>.

c. The Flash Recovery Utility detects any IIR controllers that are in reset mode and

lists them in the order that they are found.

Note: Any IIR controllers that are not in reset mode will not be listed. If no

controllers are listed, your controller may not be in reset mode. Shut down the

system and start again with step 1 above. Refer to Figure A-1 to set the jumper in

reset mode.

d. Type a controller number to start the recovery process for the firmware on that

controller. You do not need to press Enter after typing the number. You will see

the messages shown below during a successful recovery. Each message provides

a percent complete status while the action is in progress. The entire process may

take several minutes.

b. Remove the system cover.

c. Remove the IIR controller from your system.

d. On Jumper block J1B1 move jumper from position 1-2 to position 2-3 (see

Figure A-1). Reinstall the IIR controller in the RAIDIOS PCI slot in which it was

previously installed. Reconnect the SCSI drives to the adapter card.

e. Replace the cover, reconnect all power cords and power up the system.

5. Change your computer’s system BIOS setting so that your system boots normally (not

from the CD-ROM).

Note:

A firmware recovery returns the controller to the default settings.
