If you chose the Disruptive Flash Method, the RAID subsystem and JBOD expansion units automatically restart.
That action temporarily disrupts I/O operations and drops your CLU connection.
After the screen goes blank, wait about two minutes, then re-establish your Telnet connection to the CLU. If
you cannot re-establish a connection, wait 30 seconds and try again.

USB support uses the disruptive flash method only. Both RAID controllers and all JBOD I/O modules are
updated at the same time and momentarily go offline when the RAID subsystem and JBOD unit reboot.
This procedure requires a USB flash device:
• Formatted to FAT 32
• At least 50 MB of free space

To update the subsystem firmware using Vess R2600’s USB Support feature:
1. Insert the USB flash device into the bottom USB port on the front panel which is for the RAID controller.

Verify that no background activities are running on the RAID subsystem.
