Exploring the Utilities
The Update Flash Utility provides the primary method of updating the IOP firmware (GSU31
firmware). Executing under ROM-DOS, the Update Flash Utility uses I
2
O messages to perform all
functions. Therefore, the GSU31 hardware must be fully operational for the Update Flash Utility to
function. Contact Technical Support should you be unable to update the Flash successfully. Follow
the procedure in
Section 3.2.1.3
to update GSU31.
Note:
Only one card can be in the system at a time when using the Firmware Update Utility. FUU only
works with one IOP. If two are found an error message indicates that two are found and that you
must exit.
3.2.1.3
Update Flash Procedure
Note:
This procedure assumes that GSU31 hardware is functional. No jumper setting changes are
required. The update flash procedure requires that the array and volumes are in normal status.
1. Back up the data from the disk connected to the GSU31 adapter before updating the flash.
2. Get the firmware update for your GSU31 hardware. For example, download the bin file from
the Intel web site onto a floppy disk: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/.
3. To flash the firmware using the CD-ROM, boot the system with the GSU31 CD-ROM. At the
Main Menu enter number 2 (
Update Flash)
and hit Enter. The splash message and opening
screens appear followed by the Update RAID Firmware screen. See
Figure 3-3
.

4. Insert the diskette containing the firmware update image into the floppy drive A:. Select the
Update RAID Firmware (
Figure 3-3
) option and hit Enter to initiate the process of
downloading the firmware update image from the floppy disk to the flash on your GSU31
hardware. If the program cannot find the file on the floppy disk inserted in drive A, then the
Update Flash Utility Could Not Find Firmware Update File
screen appears.
The
RAID Firmware Download Successful
screen
is shown in
Figure 3-4
.
5. Remove the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and reboot the system to use the new
firmware update.
