Programming the FLASH Memory
The Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 normally comes ready to be immediately installed into the
computer server board. However, you may need to reprogram the RAID Firmware that's located in
the flash memory of the Intel RAID Controller SRCU31. Refer to Chapter 7, Firmware Update, for
a normal reprogram of the firmware.
In case the firmware should become corrupted and will not initialize, you will need to recover the
firmware in the flash memory using the Flash Recovery Utility as described in the following
procedure. Firmware updates and the Flash Recovery Utility are available for download from the
Intel support web site at:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/
A formatted floppy disk is required for either the firmware update or the Flash Recovery Utility. In
the case of the Flash Recovery Utility, a bootable floppy disk will be created.
