SSD MANAGEMENT UTILITY
The firmware and hardware on a Zeus
IOPS
SSD can be upgraded in the field. The drive management
utility, “Giddy”, uses signed Java applet technology and the Java native interface to maintain the
SSD. Table 40 lists the supported operating systems, Java Runtime Environments (JREs) and
compatible web browsers. The documentation for the Management utility is found at http://
www.gnutek.co.uk/giddy.pdf.
Notes:
1 The end user is required to have administrator rights to execute the management utility.
2 The utility is capable of updating the firmware or the programmable gate arrays (“hardware
upgrade”).
3 The SSD will log internal events during normal operation. These “messages” are transparent to
the host. In the event of an error, the utility is capable of extracting these messages that can be
sent to the manufacturer for diagnostic purposes.
4 The user can choose to erase or sanitize the drive.
5 The utility will not permit updating the device with firmware intended for another model or
version of the device.
