1. Flash I/O module A of the first and all cascaded disk enclosures using the firmware upgrade executable. NOTE: When disk enclosures are cascaded, I/O module A of one enclosure is connected to I/O module A of the subsequent enclosure. During a firmware update, I/O module A in the cascaded disk enclosures is automatically updated. 2. After I/O module A is flashed successfully in the disk enclosures, shut down and turn off the server. 3. Remove A/C power to the first and all cascaded disk enclosures. 4. Label all cables connected to I/O module A of the first and all cascaded disk enclosures and then disconnect all cables from the I/O modules. 5. Swap the positions of the I/O modules in the enclosure. 6. Reconnect the cables to the top I/O module (it used to be the bottom I/O module) in the enclosure, using the labels to ensure that all cabling is connected properly, in the same configuration as before. 7. Turn on the storage enclosures and wait for the storage enclosures to complete their startup routines. 8. Turn on the server. 9. After the server startup procedure is complete, flash the top I/O module (the new I/O module A) of the first and all cascaded disk enclosures using the firmware upgrade executable. 10. After the I/O module is flashed successfully in the disk enclosures, power cycle the server to resume normal operation. Installation instructions for controller enclosure connect environments The following methods can be used to install new firmware in controller enclosure-connect environments, such as when the D2700 disk enclosure is connected to a controller enclosure, which in turn is connected to a server or network: • "Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments" (page 6) • "Installing firmware using Smart Components in Linux environments" (page 7) • "Installing firmware using the Storage Management Utility (SMU)" (page 7) • "Installing firmware using FTP" (page 8) Installing firmware using Smart Components in Windows environments This is a self-extracting executable module. You can execute this module from the Windows graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line console (CLI). GUI option 1. Save the downloaded Smart Component package in a temporary directory. 2. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the temporary directory containing the download and double click the executable file. 3. When prompted: • Check Flash using network. • Enter target information of the disk enclosure, including its IP address and a username and password for an account with management access rights. • Follow the remaining onscreen instructions. 6 Installation instructions
