Page 29: Updating Firmware Using Xrom Icpcon
Flash Memory Programming Updating Firmware Using XROM ICPCON There are two options for updating the firmware, BIOS and XROM ICPCON currently programmed on the flash memory of the RAID controller: • Use the ICP RAID Console (ICPCON) to update the firmware image as explained in this section. - Page 30 Flash Memory Programming 10. ICPCON detects the firmware update and requires a system reboot. Press any key to reboot. When the update process has completed, reboot the computer for the change to take effect. During boot up, the system displays the updated firmware version. You can also relaunch ICPCON and select the applicable RAID controller to view its new firmware version at the bottom of the console (for example, FW:2.39.yy-Rzzz).
