Upgrading Firmware – Flash HBA Option

The firmware on your controller is upgradable using the Flash HBA

option, which appears on the Action menu when a controller is

selected in the Tree View. The Flash HBA option enables you to

upgrade to the latest firmware, controller BIOS and SMOR.

Note: There is no way to backup the controller firmware.

When you upgrade to the latest firmware, the previous

firmware image is replaced by the new one and any settings

you may have made are lost.

Each component must be upgraded as a separate operation,

however, they should all be upgraded at the same time. Adaptec

periodically releases updated firmware, controller BIOS, and SMOR.

You can obtain the latest files from the Adaptec website

(www.adaptec.com).

■ Firmware image upgrades are contained in a xxxxxxxx.ima or

xxxxxxxx.fwi file, where the 8-character file name consists of

the 4-digit controller model number and a 4-digit release

number.

■ Controller BIOS images are contained in a file named

i2obios.xxx (where, xxx is the version number).

■ SMOR updates are contained in a file named smoryyyy.xxx.

Where, yyyy is the build number and the file extension (xxx) is

the version number.

Copy these files to a floppy disk or CD.

To upgrade the controller firmware, BIOS, and/or the SMOR utility,

follow these steps:

1 Obtain the applicable firmware, BIOS, and/or SMOR utility

image files.

2 Insert the image files disk in a drive that is connected to the

system where the controller is installed.

3 In the Tree View, select the controller that you want to update.
