Download the latest firmware image file from ASUS Storage support:
http://www.ASUS Storage.com/support/ and save it to your Host PC or TFTP server.
Important
Verify that no background activities are running on the RAID subsystem.
To update the firmware on the RAID subsystem and JBOD expansion units:
1. Click the Administration tab.
2. Click the Firmware Update icon.
3. Click the Controller Firmware Update tab.
The Controller Firmware Update screen appears showing the current Image Version Number and Build
Date.
4. Choose a download option:
• Local File through HTTP – Click the Browse button, locate the firmware
image file, click the file to choose it, then click the Open button.
• TFTP Server – Enter the TFTP Server host name or IP address, port number and file name.
5. Optional. Check the Non-disruptive Image Update (NDIU) box.
NDIU updates the RAID controllers and I/O modules one at a time, enabling I/O operations continue
during the firmware update. Updates with this option take a longer period of time to complete. All ASUS
DS300f G2 models support this feature.
