Updating the Firmware
Updating the Dell™ PowerEdge™ RAID Controller H200 or 6Gbps SAS HBA
card firmware package is achieved by flashing the firmware package.
The firmware package can be flashed while the controller is in use.
The system must be restarted for all changes to take effect. If there is a failure
while flashing the firmware package (such as a power outage) the controller
reverts back to the earlier version of the firmware.
NOTE:
If you flash the firmware while using the controller, you may notice
temporary degradation in the controller's performance.
Firmware Package Update Utility
Firmware package update utility can be run from a variety of operating
systems. This flash is automated and no user intervention is required. You can
obtain the firmware package flash utility from the PowerEdge Service and
Diagnostic Utilities media that shipped with your system.
You have to perform a manual update. In the event of new firmware package
release, check the Dell Support website at support.dell.com for the latest
firmware package updates and the firmware package update procedure.
