Caution: The Fusion-MPT SCSI BIOS and firmware should be used
only with the LSI53C1020-R and LSI53C1030-R host
adapters. Before you update the BIOS and firmware, be
sure that the host adapter model number ends with -R. Do
not use this firmware on any LSI2x320 host adapter whose
model number does not end with -R, or else you may
damage the host adapter!
Caution: Do not use this firmware on any LSI2x320-IS host
adapters. These host adapters are made specifically for
third party vendors and require vendor specific firmware.
Contact the vendor for BIOS/firmware upgrades for these
host adapters. If you are not sure of your HBA model
number, contact LSI technical support at 1-800-633-4545
or at [email protected].

such as an IDE drive. If so, the SCSI BIOS maps any SCSI drives that
