Version: S110B23 Description Firmware included in this package adds improvements and corrects issues found during use and additional qualification testing after initial product release. Firmware can be installed from any computer running a supported operating system with an Ethernet connection to the storage array system. NOTE: This firmware package may not be needed if you are also installing array controller firmware, because it may be included in the controller firmware bundle. When installing a controller firmware bundle that includes both controller and I/O module firmware, the process will update firmware on controllers in the array enclosure and on I/O modules in attached drive enclosures.

Description
Firmware included in this package adds improvements and corrects issues found during use and
additional qualification testing after initial product release.
Firmware can be installed from any computer running a supported operating system with an Ethernet
connection to the storage array system.
NOTE:
This firmware package may not be needed if you are also installing array controller firmware,
because it may be included in the controller firmware bundle. When installing a controller firmware
bundle that includes both controller and I/O module firmware, the process will update firmware on
controllers in the array enclosure and on I/O modules in attached drive enclosures.
