dac960fl.exe  -  DOS program for firmware upgrade
fwpu3522.ima -  binary file contains the firmware code
rel352-2.doc - Release notes for DAC960P, PD, and PDU w/ FW 3.52-0-2

These release files for firmware version 3.52-0-2 are supported 
on models DACPDU(same as DACPU) / DACPD / DACP only. 

NOTE!!!

When upgrading an existing or new DAC960 controller with this FW and Bios, the DAC960
will require XBDA(the Extended BIOS Data Area) support in the system BIOS. (For more info.
on XBDA support, please visit our FAQ site on our homepage.)If your motherboard BIOS does 
not support XBDA, the DAC960 will disable it's own BIOS and indicate this with an error 
message.  You must contact your system or bios board manufacturer to make sure this function
is supported of your current bios, and if available, then upgrade your system board bios.
If unavailable, and you have already flashed to the new firmware/bios, you can flash back 
to your original firmware/bios which will be downloadable from our website.


** WARNING : IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE ANY
	     UPGRADE IS PERFORMED, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF DATA IS POSSIBLE
				   
   This firmware code is for DACPU / DACPD / DACP-MY4 models ( has 2 EEPROM 
   chips) controller ONLY. DO NOT USE on model DAC-PL or in any OEM 
   version of the controllers. 
	     
   Flashing the wrong firmware binary file will prevent the controller 
   from functioning and will require a return of the controller back to the 
   factory for repair.  

   These flash utilities will not work with -MY3 model controllers. A -MY3 
   controller has version 2.x firmware and with only 1 EEPROM chip.    **


UPGRADE procedure :

	Upgrade the firmware using the firmware flash utility DAC960FL.EXE 
	and appropriate firmware file under DOS. Make sure to clean boot to DOS 
	from floppy disk ( not inside Win95/NT DOS Windows prompt ) and run the 
	upgrade program from these two files on the diskette.
	
	A> DAC960FL fwpu3522.ima   
 

firmware and BIOS are programmed at the same time
