Compaq 4100 manual PCI I/O Option Firmware Components Revision Information

Firmware Update Information

user enters the SRM console ALPHABIOS command at the SRM console prompt. AlphaBIOS is a separate, compressed image and is separately updatable using LFU.

In general, both the SRM and AlphaBIOS consoles should be updated at the same time since the two images which ship on the update CD-ROM are typically qualified against one another.

1.3PCI I/O Option Firmware Components - Revision Information

You can also flash update firmware on certain PCI I/O options supported by the AlphaServer 4100 using LFU. Version V6.0-4 of the SRM console provides support for updating the following devices’ firmware:

Table 1–4 I/O Module Firmware Revision Matrix

Name	Firmware Rev	Update File Used By LFU
CIPCA	A420	CIPCA420.SYS
DEFPA	V3.20	DFXAA320.SYS
KZPSA	A12	KZPSAA12.SYS
KZPDA	V5.57	RHSRMROM.SYS, ships with SRM Console 1
KZPBA	V5.57	RHSRMROM.SYS, ships with SRM Console 1

1On a power-up/reset, the SRM console loads adapter firmware from console’s system flash ROM into NVRAM on the I/O module for all Qlogic ISP1020-based PCI options such as the KZPDA and KZPBA. One updates SRM console firmware to update ISP1020-based PCI option firmware. V6.0-4 console ships with V5.57 firmware for ISP1020-based adapters. Note that this only applies for SRM console booting, i.e. for customers running DIGITAL UNIX and/or OpenVMS Alpha.

Other options, such as the KZPSC RAID controller also provide firmware update capability. However, LFU does not support KZPSC or KZPAC firmware updates. Refer to the Controller Installation and Standalone Utility User’s Guide for your particular StorageWorks RAID Array subsystem should you need to update your RAID subsystem’s firmware.

1.4Configuration Utility Kit and Version Information

The EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) is available on separate media (floppy disks) for use on AlphaServer 4100 systems. The RAID Configuration Utility (RCU) ships on both floppy and the Alpha Firmware CD. The KZPSA Configuration Utility ships on the Alpha Firmware CD. For compatibility with this firmware release, the minimum revisions of the configuration utilities given in Table 1–5 must be used if required.
