To perform a firmware recovery complete the following steps:
1. Download the FRU utility and extract it to a floppy diskette.
2. Download the 2MB (2MB is used by the SRCMR, SRCU31) firmware image and extract to a floppy diskette.
3. Remove power (unplug the power cords) from the target system, move the recovery jumper on the RAID controller from the "normal" position to the "recovery" position, and install in the target system.
4. Re-apply power and boot the target system to the FRU disk mentioned in step 1.
5. The system will extract files to a RAM drive, a menu will be presented that lists the installed raid card and they type of firmware file needed (2mb).
6. Insert the 2mb firmware diskette mentioned in step 2.
