Upgrading Flash ROM Update Process

Since the PCIe 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-program the

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

ernet port McRAID Storage manager and nash DOS utility. 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:

ARC1680NNNN.BIN Software Binary Code ( “NNNN” refers to the

software code type)

ARC1680BIOS.BIN :→ PCI card BIOS for system board using

ARC1680BOOT.BIN :→ RAID controller hardware initialization

ARC1680FIRM.BIN :→ RAID kernel program

ARC1680MBR0.BIN:→ Master Boot Record for supporting Dual

Flash Image in the SAS RAID controller

ARC1680transport.BIN: → Intel IOP 348 SAS controller transport

layer microcode

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 ARC1680BIOS.BIN for sys-

tem M/B compatibility and ARC1680FIRM.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.
