LSI Logic MegaRAID Firmware Release
************************************
Release date: 01/04/07
Controllers Supported:
=====================
MegaRAID SCSI 320- 0X/2x/4x
Current Version Previous Version
=============== ===============
Firmware Version: 414G 414E
BIOS Version: A100 H431
Ctrl+M Version: U828 U828
Boot Block Version: D.2.2.1 D.2.2.1
WebBIOS: 3.23 3.23
Major Changes since last release:
==========================================
1. Firmware - Fixes problem where only one channel was seen with ZCR.
2. Firmware - Fixes problem where ZCR controller would sometimes freeze due to serial port cross-talk.
3. BIOS - Loads WebBIOS after POST rather than immediately. This allows WebBIOS to work on more systems.
4. BIOS - Allows "Enter" key to invoke CTRL-M for use with remote consoles.
Installation:
=============
MAKE SURE TO FLASH THIS FIRMWARE ONLY WHEN USING A MEGARAID SCSI 320-0X/2X/4X CONTROLLER FROM LSI LOGIC CORPORATION.
1. Create a bootable floppy. This floppy should be a basic boot disk without a config.sys or autoexec.bat; if using a Windows 98 Boot disk, bypass these files by holding down the left shift key.
2. Take a second blank floppy, and extract all the files from the .ZIP with the firmware in it.
3. Reboot the system, and boot from the DOS bootable floppy. At the A:> prompt, remove the first disk and insert the second disk.
4. At the A:> prompt, type MFLASH and hit enter. The MegaRAID flash utility will start.
5. There will be prompts asking if this is the correct adapter, and the correct image. Say yes to both.
6. The firmware will flash. There will be a prompt to reboot the system When the controller has been completely flashed.

Release date: 12/16/04
Controllers Supported:
=====================
MegaRAID SCSI 320- 0X/2x/4x
Current Version Previous Version
=============== ================
Firmware Version: 413Z 413Y
BIOS Version: H424 H420
Ctrl+M Version: U825 U821
Boot Block Version: V1.11 V1.11
WebBIOS: V1.91 V1.91
Major Firmware Changes since last release:
==========================================
1. ACPI-WHQL compliance on PCI-X controller: Implement power management changes in PCI-X FW to ensure ACPI-WHQL compliance. MPT chip is not visible to host so FW to intercept standby command & put MPT in D3Hot.Reciprocally before exiting standby mode, FW to put MPT in D0 mode. While transitioning from D2 or D3Hot to D0 mode MPT command register is reset so FW to re-initialize command register• while transitioning from D3hot to D0, IBM Bridge is reset. After that OS would initialize PCI header registers but device specific registers (opaque region) are not initialized so these to be explicitly initialized by FW
2. Fixed in firwmare flashing PCI-X in TX300
3. Fixed ACPI-WHQL compliance on PCI-X ZCR
4. Fixed firmware goes into mon task during cluster node
5. Fixed MPT busy handling for DCDBs
6. Fixed MPT replies that arrive after a queued reset
7. W2K3 cluster server hung during reboot test - Debugger displayed "RFM in use"
8. fix was added to reset the 1030 NVDATA in case the NVDATA was corrupted. This cleared out data that would normally be persistent across boot. One of those data objects is the SCSI initiator ID, so to prevent the FW from using the wrong (default) initiator ID we will reinitialize this object at boot time
9. Fix MPT clusterInquiry struct to only allow asynch
10. Cluster 320-4X gives data abort in 2 channel spanned config with init id 15 and a pc+ scan is done from the peer
11. CLUSTER: PCI X fw breaks into megamon after ws2003 phase 5 run
12. Modify Verde FW to support change in BAR1 register
13. CLUSTER: ID doesn't change when disabling cluster mode on PCI X controller

Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
