Updating using your own utility or switches is unsupported, and may leave your HSC in a non-functional state. Firmware Installation Procedure (Requires HSC firmware already running): 1) Unzip the release package, and copy the contents onto Win98 DOS bootable media (such as a bootable USB memory device). 2) Boot to Win98 Dos, and change directories to the release directory. 3) Run the provided run.bat file. 4) The HSC will receive a boot code update. This could take up to 13 minutes to upload and verify. 5) After verification, the firmware requires 60 seconds to finish updating. The front-panel power and reset buttons will be placed in secure mode during this time. Any attempts to access these buttons will result in security violation entries in the system event log. Please do not reset or remove power from the system during this time as any interruption could leave the HSC inoperable. 6) Please update your BMC's SDR package to the latest version. 7) Please reboot your system. ============================================================================= KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS ============================================================================= SR1550 v2.11: - None SR1550 v2.09: - FP LED going Amber blinking for Drive Fault doesn't work. - HSC update takes around 25mins to update because of 16 bytes updates.
