Under rare circumstances, it may be necessary update the Flash on the QLogic
adapter. Read the Release Notes to see if a Flash update is required. If so, follow
the instructions in this appendix.
Flash Update and Tool Guidelines
Consider the following before updating the Flash:
During the Flash update process, do not reboot or stop the update process.
