Figure 5.1

Host Adapter Flash Utility Main Menu

The main menu allows you to choose which controller chip to use to
update the BIOS and firmware. Dual channel cards have a single entry
(chip) displayed on this screen. Note that choice selections may not
always have concurrent choice selections (see example below). Since
both channels of a dual channel board share a flash part, only one of the
paths needs to be chosen. However, nothing is damaged if separate
updates are done through both paths.

To continue, type the number of the controller chip you want.

Running the Host Adapter Flash Utility

When you choose a controller chip from the menu, a menu of options is
displayed. The menu is different for fibre channel controller chips versus
SAS controller chips.

5.3.1

Fibre Channel Controller Options

Table 5.1

lists the menu options that are displayed if you selected a fibre

channel controller chip.

Note:

If you are updating the firmware or BIOS/Fcode (options a
or b on the menu), you should exit the Host Adapter Flash
Utility after the update is complete and perform a cold
reboot. Then you can restart the utility if you need to
change other settings like board speed or interrupt
coalescing values. This ensures that the updated firmware
is running on the chip.
