2. Change your computer’s BIOS setting so that your system boots from the CD-ROM.
3. Use the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM to flash the firmware.
a. Boot the computer with the bootable RAID Software Suite CD-ROM that
contains the version of the RAID firmware that you wish to recover.
b. At the ROM-DOS Startup menu, select the option, Flash Recovery Utility, and
press <Enter>.
c. The Flash Recovery Utility detects any IIR controllers that are in reset mode and
lists them in the order that they are found.
Note: Any IIR controllers that are not in reset mode will not be listed. If no
controllers are listed, your controller may not be in reset mode. Shut down the
system and start again with step 1 above. Refer to Figure A-1 to set the jumper in
reset mode.
d. Type a controller number to start the recovery process for the firmware on that
controller. You do not need to press Enter after typing the number. You will see
the messages shown below during a successful recovery. Each message provides
a percent complete status while the action is in progress. The entire process may
take several minutes.
