Page 17

The sasflash.efi utility and firmware images are included on the IPF Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD, version 0803 and later. To update the adapter firmware offline, follow the procedures provided with the sasflash utility.

CAUTION: If you have updated the adapter firmware using sasflash, booting a disk with an older version of SerialSCSI-00 (including Ignite-UX) might download an older version of the firmware and EFI driver to all HBAs controlled by SerialSCSI-00 in the system. In this case, use sasflash to reinstall the correct adapter firmware.
