Upgrading Firmware Through CLI
This Command Line Interface (CLI) provides you to configure and
manage the Areca SAS RAID controller components in Windows,
Linux, FreeBSD and more environments. The CLI is useful in en-
vironments where a graphical user interface (GUI) is not avail-
able. Through the CLI, you perform firmware upgrade that you can
perform with the McRAID storage manager GUI. From firmware
version 1.43 and CLI version 1.72.250 beginning, the controller has
added the firmware update through the CLI on the controller.
To update the controller firmware, follow the procedure below:
