Updating controller and enclosure software: The ROM Update wizard guides
you through the process of updating the software for your direct-attached and

v For direct-attached storage devices, the wizard updates the BIOS software for all
ServeRAID controllers of the same type on the local and remote systems. You
can update only one type of controller at a time.

enclosure and controller software for all controllers in the enclosure (single or
dual controller configurations).
