EMC HBA Settings 2-11
Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver
Updating Using a DOS
Boot Diskette
To update using a DOS boot diskette, follow these steps:
The QLogic CD-ROM contains the latest EMC-approved BIOS and NVRAM
settings files at the time of creation of the CD-ROM. If more recent files exist,
you can find them on the QLogic website. Refer to Downloading QLogic
Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2.
1. Format a 3.5-inch diskette and extract the BIOS and NVRAM files
from the archive file ( .zip or self-extracting .exe ) onto the
diskette.
2. Reboot your Windows host system using a DOS diskette.
3. At the A:\> prompt, insert the diskette that contains the QLogic
BIOS files (created in step 1).
CAUTION !
Do not attempt to run this procedure from a command prompt
window.
• To load firmware/BIOS and NVRAM settings, type
FLASUTIL.EXE /L /F and press ENTER :
• To load NVRAM settings only, type FLASUTIL.EXE /L
and press ENTER :
Some BIOS archives will have QL2XUTIL.EXE instead of
FLASUTIL.EXE. Run QL2XUTIL.EXE as you would FLASUTIL.EXE.
Also, some BIOS versions might require the /N parameter (which allows
an alternate NVRAM filename to be specified) to load the NVRAM file
correctly.
Example:
FLASUTIL /L /F /N NVRAM23o.DAT
Refer to the readme.txt file in the firmware package for complete
instructions on the use of the FLASUTIL.EXE utility
4. When the procedure has finished, remove the diskette and reboot
the host.
