Downloading MD3060e Series Expansion Module EMM Firmware

NOTE: Do not make any configuration changes to the storage array while you are downloading the expansion
enclosure EMM firmware. Doing so could cause the firmware download to fail, damage the storage array, or cause
loss of data accessibility.

NOTE: Due to a limitation with Linux, expansion enclosure EMM firmware updates must be performed using out-of-
band management only. Failure to do so may result in the host server becoming unresponsive, and it may require a
reboot.

You can transfer a downloadable firmware file to the expansion enclosure EMM in the expansion enclosures attached
to the storage array.

CAUTION: Risk of possible loss of data or risk of damage to the storage array—Downloading the expansion
enclosure EMM firmware incorrectly could result in loss of data or damage to the storage array. Perform
downloads only under the guidance of your Technical Support representative.

CAUTION: Risk of making expansion enclosure EMM unusable—Do not make any configuration changes to the
storage array while downloading expansion enclosure EMM firmware. Doing so could cause the firmware
download to fail and make the selected expansion enclosure unusable.
