CR3500 Configuration Utility 4-31 Upgrading from a Single Controller Configuration to Redundant Controller Configuration Before upgrading your system from a single CR3500 RAID Controller to a redundant CR3500 RAID Controller configuration, verify that each CR3500 RAID Controller has the same firmware revision level by following these steps: 1. Compaq recommends that you download the latest firmware for the CR3500 RAID Controller by accessing the Compaq Support website: www.compaq.com/support IMPORTANT: Each CR3500 RAID Controller must have the same firmware level to allow it to bind in a redundant fault tolerant configuration. 2. Open the CR3500 Configuration Utility and double-click the controller icon for the original controller. Take note of the current firmware level. 3. Determine the firmware level of the new controller by reading the firmware revision level label found on the carrier of the controller. 4. If the firmware level of each controller matches the current release of firmware, follow the steps in the "Matching Firmware Revision Levels" section. 5. If the original controller has an older firmware level, follow the steps in the section titled "Updating the Firmware Revision Level of the Original CR3500 RAID Controller." 6. If the new controller has an older firmware level, follow the steps in the section titled "Adding a Second CR3500 RAID Controller." 7. If both controllers have firmware levels which are older than those posted on the Web, follow steps 1-7 in the "Updating the Firmware Revision Level of the Original CR3500 RAID Controller" section, followed by the section, "Adding a Second CR3500 RAID Controller," beginning with Step 7.

Upgrading from a Single Controller Configuration
to Redundant Controller Configuration
Before upgrading your system from a single CR3500 RAID Controller to a
redundant CR3500 RAID Controller configuration, verify that each
CR3500 RAID Controller has the same firmware revision level by following
these steps:
1.
Compaq recommends that you download the latest firmware for the
CR3500 RAID Controller by accessing the Compaq Support website:
www.compaq.com/support
IMPORTANT:
Each CR3500 RAID Controller must have the same firmware level to allow it
to bind in a redundant fault tolerant configuration.
2.
Open the CR3500 Configuration Utility and double-click the controller
icon for the original controller. Take note of the current firmware level.
3.
Determine the firmware level of the new controller by reading the
firmware revision level label found on the carrier of the controller.
4.
If the firmware level of each controller matches the current release of
firmware, follow the steps in the
“
Matching Firmware Revision Levels
”
section.
5.
If the original controller has an older firmware level, follow the steps in
the section titled
“
Updating the Firmware Revision Level of the Original
CR3500 RAID Controller.
”
6.
If the new controller has an older firmware level, follow the steps in the
section titled
“
Adding a Second CR3500 RAID Controller.
”
7.
If both controllers have firmware levels which are older than those
posted on the Web, follow steps 1-7 in the
“
