Upgrading Firmware
The SCSI-to-SCSI RAID controllers’ firmware resides in
Flash Memory that can be updated through the COM ports
or In-band SCSI.
New releases of the firmware are
available in the form of a DOS file, which is located in the
"pub" directory of ASUS’ FTP site or on a 5.25" or 3.5"
diskette. The file available at the FTP site is usually a self-
extracting file that contains the following:
FW30Bxyz
Firmware Binary (where "xyz" refers to the
firmware version)
B30Buvw
Boot Record Binary (where "uvw" refers to the boot
record version)
README.TXT
Read this file first before upgrading the firmware
or boot record. It contains the most up-to-date
information which is very important to the
firmware upgrade and usage.
These files must be extracted from the compressed file and
copied to directory in drive C.
