SSD MANAGEMENT UTILITY

The firmware and hardware on a ZeusIOPS SSD can be upgraded in the field. The drive management utility, “Giddy”, uses signed Java applet technology and the Java native interface to maintain the SSD. Table 40 lists the supported operating systems, Java Runtime Environments (JREs) and compatible web browsers. The documentation for the Management utility is found at http:// www.gnutek.co.uk/giddy.pdf.

Notes:

1The end user is required to have administrator rights to execute the management utility.

2The utility is capable of updating the firmware or the programmable gate arrays (“hardware upgrade”).

3The SSD will log internal events during normal operation. These “messages” are transparent to the host. In the event of an error, the utility is capable of extracting these messages that can be sent to the manufacturer for diagnostic purposes.

4The user can choose to erase or sanitize the drive.

5The utility will not permit updating the device with firmware intended for another model or version of the device.
