ICP RAID Console the migration of host drives between ICP RAID controllers is very easy and secure, even if the SCSI IDs and channels are changed. Simply connect the hard disks to the new ICP RAID controller, and the host drives will be automatically available. 10.5.1.2 Firmware Update From the Advanced Setup menu, select the Configure Controller option and press Enter to display the Configure Controller menu, then select the Firmware Update option and press Enter to begin the process for updating the firmware. Firmware Update allows you to update the firmware, controller BIOS, and XROM ICPCON currently programmed on the flash memory of the ICP RAID controller. Because the Flash-RAM can be reprogrammed many times, the software modules can be easily updated, without having to remove the controller from its PCI slot. The firmware, controller BIOS, and XROM ICPCON are part of the file, SRC_RXFW.xxx, where the file extension xxx indicates the version stepping. There is a firmware file on the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM. To get the latest firmware for the ICP RAID controller, visit our web site at: http://www.icp-vortex.com or http:// www.vortex.de. Note: The Firmware Update option is not available when ICPCON is accessing the ICP RAID controller remotely. Follow the procedure below to update the firmware via XROM ICPCON or the OS version of ICPCON. 1. Format a 3.5" HD disk (1.44MB) and copy the SRC_RXFW file onto the disk. Obtain the SRC_RXFW file from the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM, or if necessary, download the firmware image containing the latest programs/drivers from the web site. 2. Launch ICPCON, select the applicable ICP RAID controller and press Enter. 3. If the Express Setup menu is displayed, press to display the Advanced Setup menu. Select the menu option, Configure Controller and press Enter. Insert the floppy containing the latest firmware file into the floppy disk drive. 4. From the Configure Controller submenu, select Firmware Update and press Enter. 5. XROM ICPCON automatically searches for the firmware file from the floppy drive, a:\. The OS version of ICPCON asks for the path to the file (see Figure 10-59). Type in the path to the floppy drive and press Enter. After finding the file, ICPCON displays the name, description and version of the firmware. Press Enter. 114 Software Installation and User's Guide
