Firmware Upgrades
Firmware (software and microchips) upgrades are sometimes shipped to the field. Each
upgrade kit has a set of instructions but, if they are unavailable, generic upgrade instructions
are also provided here. Upgrade kits may contain one or two microchips and (if needed) a spe-
cial tool designed to safely remove the microprocessor chip from its socket:
•C_: 18-pin programmer chip
• S_: 44-pin microprocessor chip
The programmer chip replaces the existing programmer chip on the upper board in the SmarT-
raq drive enclosure. The microprocessor chip replaces the existing chip on the lower board in
the enclosure.
Static discharge will damage microchips — be certain you are grounded as you work.
