Appendix A

Upgrading Flash ROM Update Process

A-1 Overview

Since the PCIe 2.0 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller features ash ROM

rmware, it is not necessary to change the hardware ash chip in

order to upgrade the RAID rmware. The user can simply re-pro-

gram the old rmware through the In-Band PCIe 2.0 bus or Out-of-

Band Ethernet port McRAID Storage manager and nash DOS util-

ity. New releases of the rmware are available in the form of a DOS

le on the shipped CD or Areca website. The les available at the

FTP site for each model contain the following les in each version:

ARC1882NNNN.BIN Software Binary Code ( “NNNN” refers to the

software code type)

ARC1882BIOS.BIN :→ PCIe 2.0 BIOS for system board using

ARC1882BOOT.BIN :→ RAID controller hardware initialization

ARC1882FIRM.BIN :→ RAID kernel program

ARC1882MBR0.BIN:→ Master Boot Record for supporting Dual

Flash Image in the 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller

README.TXT contains the history information of the software code

change in the main directory. Read this le rst to make sure you

are upgrading to the proper binary le. Select the right le for the

upgrade. Normally, user upgrades the ARC1882BIOS.BIN for sys-

tem M/B compatibility and ARC1882FIRM.BIN for RAID function

upgrades.

Note:

Please update all binary code (BIOS, BOOT and FIRM) before

you reboot system. Otherwise, a mixed rmware package may

hang the controller.
