Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. Procedures for
locating firmware and documentation might vary slightly from what is
described in this document.
a. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
b. Under Product support, click System x.
c. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers.
d. Under Related downloads, click ServeRAID to display the matrix of
downloadable ServeRAID files.
Detailed instructions for building these diskettes are provided in the readme
file.
3. Turn off the server and remove the cover.
4. Determine whether the flash jumper is accessible. If it is not, remove the
ServeRAID-8i controller.
5. Locate the flash jumper, which is labeled on the top of the controller as shown
in Figure 1.
6. Install the jumper connector across the two pins that are shown in Figure 1.
7. If you removed the controller in step 4, reinstall it.
8. Insert the ServeRAID-8i firmware disk 1 into the diskette drive.
9. Turn on the server and observe the server POST process. If the zero-mode
jumper is installed correctly, the ServeRAID-8i controller does not display a
POST banner.
10. As the server starts to diskette 1, the following message is displayed:
This program will update the firmware on all IBM ServeRAID-8i controllers
in the system. Do you want to continue. [Y,N]?
11. Type y to respond to the prompt, and then follow the instructions on the screen
to complete the flash update.
12. After the flash update is completed, turn off the server.
13. Remove the zero-mode jumper from the flash pins (if necessary, remove and
reinstall the ServeRAID-8i controller).
