Important:
1. For the latest NVSRAM versions, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/
storage/disk/.
2. To verify software version levels or to identify possible interim updates to
firmware and NVSRAM file versions that are described in Table 2, go to
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/disk/.
Before you update the controller firmware and NVSRAM to the version that is
indicated in Table 3, see the readme file included in the controller firmware
code package for information about upgrades or stepping-stone controller
firmware upgrades that you must perform first.
Table 3 lists storage enclosure models by name, machine type, model number,
and current ESM firmware level.
