DOS utility

These notes describe how to use the Gigabit Server Adapter Firmware Upgrade Utility to flash server adapter firmware.

Flashing consists of using software to replace the current server adapter firmware on a target server with a new firmware image. Server adapter firmware is typically flashed for the following reasons:

•To support new features

•To correct problems in a previous server adapter firmware version

Customers should upgrade their servers to the latest server adapter firmware version:

•When HP releases a new server adapter firmware version

•When installing a new server adapter

•After purchasing a new server

•When installing a SoftPaq that specifies the need for the latest version of firmware

The Gigabit Server Adapter Firmware Upgrade Utility automatically checks for driver, hardware, and operating system dependencies, and installs only the correct server adapter firmware upgrades required by each target server.
