5.3.2 SAS Controller Options
Table 5.2 lists the menu options that are displayed if you selected a SAS
controller chip.
Note: If you are updating the firmware or BIOS (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.
Table 5.1 Fibre Channel Option Menu
Option Description
a - Update Firmware
b - Update BIOS & FCode Allows you to download images to the currently selected PCI
chip. This option requires the user to input a filename to be
flashed. In the case of BIOS & FCode it will require the user
to input two file names to be concatenated and then flashed.
c - Upload current firmware to a file
d - Upload current BIOS to a file Allows you to upload the firmware or BIOS image to a
designated file. Before you select one of these options, make
sure there is enough disk space for the image.
f - Toggle Board Speed on Function 0
g - Toggle Board Speed on Function 1 Provides a quick one-stroke method for setting a particular
port’s board speed. Option g is not displayed if a single port
host adapter is currently selected.
h - Toggle Topologies on Function 0
i - Toggle Topologies on Function 1 Provides a quick one-stroke method for setting a particular
port’s topology. Option i is not displayed if a single port host
adapter is currently selected.
l - Change Interrupt Coalescing
Values on Port 0
m - Change Interrupt Coalescing
Values on Port 1 Allows you to set the Coalescing Timeout and Depth. You must
press c to commit any changes made.
n - Change Device Pathing to One
Path per device Toggles the multi-pathing bit, which tells the firmware whether
to present a target that is seen via multiple paths as a single
target ID (multi-pathing is OFF) or as a target ID per path
(multi-pathing is ON). If you enable multi-pathing, you should
use a multi-pathing driver and you should be aware that the
same target will be visible via multiple target IDs.
x - Erase BIOS Removes the BIOS from the adapter, but leaves the firmware
intact.
y - Change Protocol Support Allows you to enable all protocols or just initiator or target only.
These changes will affect both ports of a multi-port host
adapter.
z - Change Adapters Returns you to the host adapter selection menu (displayed
earlier) so you can select a different host adapter.
q - Quit Quits the utility.
