The LP8ldr.exe file contains the HBA’s firmware download utility and the latest version of the firmware at the time the Console CD was released. You will be prompted by the program to either download the firmware or skip the process. If you choose to download the firmware, all HBAs will be programmed with the version of firmware contained in the LP8ldr.exe file.
