Using the Firmware Update Utility The Firmware Update Utility is a DOS-based program used to update the Baseboard Management Controller's firmware code. You only need to run the Firmware Update Utility if new firmware code becomes necessary. Running the Firmware Update Utility 1. Create a DOS bootable diskette. The version of DOS must be 6.0 or higher. 2. Copy the file ANSI.SYS to the diskette. Without this file, the procedure will run correctly, but the screen will not be readable. 3. Expand the file (for example, STL2FWSDR.ZIP) to the diskette. 4. Insert the diskette into the drive and boot to it. The utility will run automatically. 5. Shut the system down and remove any floppy disks that may be in the system. 6. Disconnect the AC power cord from the system and wait 60 seconds. 7. Connect the AC power cord and power up the system. Using the Adaptec SCSI Utility The Adaptec SCSI utility detects the SCSI host adapters on the server board. The utility runs out of BIOS and is used to • Change default values • Check and/or change SCSI device settings that may conflict with those of other devices in the server Running the SCSI Utility 1. When this message appears on the video monitor: Press Ctrl-A to run SCSI Utility... 2. Press to run this utility. When it appears, choose the host adapter that you want to configure. Another Adaptec utility that is available on the STL2 Resource CD is the Adaptec EZ SCSI utility. It is designed to be installed from diskettes on to a DOS or Windows operating system.
