3. The flasutil program will display the existing version of the BIOS, the newer
BIOS version, and a message telling you if the update was successful or
unsuccessful.
The following output example resembles the output you might see upon
execution of the flasutil /i /FB xxxx /o BiosFirmwarefile.bin command,
where, for this example, 2300 is substituted for xxxx.

Note: For the flasutil /i /FB 2400 /o Biosfirmwarefile.bin command,
where 2400 is the I/O address of the second port of a dual port FC
4Gbps PCI-X Adapter, there is no update status due to there being only
one BIOS area per adapter. This BIOS area is referred to via the I/O
address of the first port of a dual port FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter.
The following output example resembles the output you might see upon
execution of the flasutil /i /FB 2400 /o Biosfirmwarefile.bin command.

4. To update the NVRAM, do the following:
From the DOS prompt, type:
flasutil /i /l xxxx /n NVRAMfile.DAT
where NVRAMfile.DAT is the name of the NVRAM setting file (there must also
be a companion file with the same NVRAM file name, having the .def file
extension, instead of the .dat file extension. If the NVRAM setting file name is
omitted, flasutil will look for NVRAM files with the following names;
nvram24.dat and nvram24.def), and xxxx is the adapter address. If xxxx is
omitted, then the program will attempt to flash all of the adapters in the host
with this NVRAM file.
Press "Enter."
Note: If this is a dual port adapter and the adapter address is specified, you
need to run this command twice (using both port addresses) to update
the NVRAM on both ports.
5. Press "Enter."
6. The flasutil program will display the existing version of the NVRAM, the newer
NVRAM version, and a message telling you if the update was successful or
unsuccessful.
7. To update the standard NVRAM defaults in the adapter to the new defaults
from the NVRAM files, do the following:
At the DOS prompt, type:
flasutil /i /u xxxx
