3.2.1.2 Update Flash
The Update Flash Utility provides a function for programming SRCU31 firmware.
The Update Flash Utility provides the primary method of updating the IOP firmware (SRCU31
firmware). Executing under ROM-DOS, the Update Flash Utility uses I

O messages to perform all
functions. Therefore, the SRCU31 hardware must be fully operational for the Update Flash Utility
to function. Contact Technical Support should you be unable to update the Flash successfully.
Follow the procedure in Section 3.2.1.3 to update SRCU31.

volumes. Also enables the user to quickly view the SRCU31 subsystem
without booting the operating system, for example, it ensures all attached
disks are recognized by the SRCU31 adapter.
Production Firmware
Used in conjunction with the Recovery/Update Utility. This utility creates
the firmware diskette that contains the software (.bin file) that is loaded into
SRCU31.
NetWare Installation
Create the Novell RAID Device Drivers for the SRCU31 solution. This
installs the OSM drivers needed for booting an SRCU31 volume that
contains the operating system.
Windows NT Installation
Create the Microsoft RAID Device Drivers for the SRCU31 solution. This
diskette is also known as the Microsoft Windows NT SCSI miniport
diskette. Installing these device drivers allows an operating system to boot
when installed on an SRCU31 volume.
UnixWare Installation
Create the RAID Device Drivers for the SRCU31 solution. This diskette is
