Downloading MD1200 Series Expansion Module

EMM Firmware

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.

1 Perform one of these actions:

• In the AMW, select

Advanced Maintenance Download EMM

Firmware.

• Select the

Support tab, and click Download Firmware. In the dialog

that is displayed, select the

EMM firmware, and click OK.

The

Download Environmental (EMM) Firmware dialog is displayed.

2 In the Select enclosures area, either select each expansion enclosure to

which you want to download firmware, or select

Select All to select all of

the expansion enclosures in the storage array.
Each selected expansion enclosure must have the same product ID.

3 Click Select File.

The

Select Environmental (EMM) Card Firmware File dialog is

displayed.

4 Select the file to download and click OK.
