Adapters with logical drives in a degraded state should not be updated, degraded logical drives should be repaired prior to a firmware update of the controller.

The firmware update utilities will update multiple adapters in a system through the following process:
1. For software stack 1 based controllers, up to 4 adapters existing within a single system will be automatically updated when choosing this option.  If more that 4 adapters are present, the excess adapters should be removed and the update applied to them seperately.
2. For software stack 2 based controllers, the number of adapters will be detected and the update will be applied based on their PCI order.
3. If both software stack 1 and software stack 2 controllers exist in the same system, they can be updated by individually choosing the adapter from the main menu.
