Creating the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter BIOS Update Utility diskette

If you cannot use the Support CD to update the adapter BIOS code, you can create a diskette using the Support CD. Instructions for creating and using the diskette are described in the following sections.

Note: For a Novell NetWare environment, you will need to unpack the BIOS Update Utility diskette using a server that is running a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Linux® operating system.

Creating the diskette

Create the BIOS Update Utility diskette by copying the image you need from the IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD or by downloading the image from the http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/Web site.

For Microsoft Windows 2000 or Server 2003

Complete the following steps to create a BIOS Update Utility diskette for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Server 2003 from the IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD:

1.Insert the IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2.Insert a diskette into the diskette drive.

3.At the command prompt, type:

d:\tools\dsk4w32 d:\images\biosnvrm\24xx\246x_xxx.img a:

Where d is the CD-ROM drive and a is the diskette drive.

4.Press ″Enter.″

5.Remove the IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD from the CD-ROM drive.

6.Remove the diskette from the diskette drive and label the diskette appropriately.
