Updating your PFC500 firmware
If you upgrade your Profile system software, you must update the microcode on all
your PFC 500 Fibre Channel RAID chassis. This will allow to you take advantage of
all of the RAID enhancements and benefit from improved reliability.
To update your PFC500 Fibre Channel RAID microcode:
1. Start Configuration Manager and choose File System .
2. Click Next twice to open the third page, Disk Utility.
3. In the Disk Utility - Page 3 of 3, browse for the latest RAID microcode file in the
c:\profile\microcode directory. Select the .bin file with the highest “flare” or
“prom” version number. For example, flare32104prom202.bin is more recent than
flare32103prom202.bin and flare32103prom203.bin is more recent than
flare32103prom202.bin.
4. Click Finish and wait for the microcode to load.
5. When the loading is completed, shut down and turn off the power to the Profile XP
system and to all attached PFC500 Fibre channel RAID chassis. Failure to shut
down the RAID units will prevent the new microcode from taking effect.
6. Turn on the power to all the RAID chassis, wait two to three minutes, then turn on
the Profile XP system.
