Software and firmware support code upgrades
To enable support for the DS3200, you must make sure that your system software and firmware are at the levels shown in Table 2, or later.
Note: SATA hard disk drive support requires that the DS3200 controller and any storage expansion enclosures are at the firmware levels listed in the following table.

You can also find the latest DS3000 Storage Manager software, DS3200 controller firmware, and NVSRAM firmware at http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/ disk/.
See the IBM System Storage DS3000 Storage Manager Version 2 Installation and Support Guide for your operating system for instructions for installing the DS3000 Storage Manager host software. The Installation and Support Guide is in the Documentation folder on the IBM System Storage DS3000 Support CD.
Determining firmware levels
To determine the firmware levels of the DS3200 storage subsystem, the connected storage expansion enclosures, and the installed hard disk drives, use the DS3000 Storage Manager software that is used to manage the DS3200 storage subsystem.
In the Subsystem Management window, click the Summary tab; then, click Storage Subsystem Profile in the Hardware Components section. When the Storage Subsystem Profile window opens, click the All tab and scroll through the Profile For Storage Subsystem to locate the following information.
Note: The Profile For Storage Subsystem contains all the profile information for the entire subsystem. Therefore, you might have to scroll through a large amount of information to locate the firmware version numbers.
