Update Flash utility
Through the Utilities section of the FAStT MSJ utility, you can update I/O
expansion card firmware and perform adapter-level configurations on a
host-connected adapter.
When you click Update Flash in the Utilities section of the FAStT MSJ utility,
and the adapter accepts the update, the application prompts for the file name
of the new flash BIOS or firmware code. The latest version of expansion card
flash BIOS or firmware code is available from the IBM support Web site at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
After you enter a valid flash BIOS or firmware code file name, click OK to
complete the update, or click Cancel to stop the update. When you click OK,
the FAStT MSJ utility verifies the file name and format of the new file. If the
file is valid, the application then compares the version of the file with the
adapter flash version that is currently installed. If the installed adapter version
is the same or newer than the file flash version that you are trying to install,
the application asks if you still want to update the flash.
If the firmware update fails, an error message is displayed.
