Updating firmware

After installing the hardware and powering on the storage system components for the first time, verify that

the controller modules, expansion modules, and disk drives are using the current firmware release. Using

the SMU, right-click the system in the Configuration View panel, and select Tools

Update > Firmware. The

Update Firmware panel displays the currently installed firmware versions, and enables you to update them.

Optionally, you can update firmware using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) as described in the MSA 2040 SMU

Reference Guide.

IMPORTANT:

See the “About firmware update” and “Updating firmware” topics within the MSA 2040

SMU Reference Guide before performing a firmware update.
