Flash instructions for Fusion-MPT 2x320 non-R HBA.txt Driver File Contents (Fusion-MPT_IT_FW10327_BIOS_50703pt_FLASH_10304.zip)

************************************Important!***************************
Host Bus Adapters (HBA) with model number LSI2x320-IS should not use this
firmware. These HBAs are made specifically for third party vendors and 
require vendor specific firmware. Contact your vendor for appropriate 
BIOS and firmware for these cards.
*************************************************************************

The steps to flash an LSI2x320 (non-R) controller are:

1. Download the current Initiator/Target (IT) version of Fusion-MPT BIOS
and firmware. Using Winzip or other compatible software extract the 
files onto a blank floppy diskette.    

2. Create a DOS bootable diskette. This can be a basic DOS boot disk 
without a config.sys or autoexec.bat, or if you have a Windows 98 Boot 
disk, you can boot using this boot diskette, bypass the config.sys 
and autoexec.bat files by holding down the left shift key during boot.

Refer to your Operating System documentation for specific instructions 
on creating a DOS compatible boot diskette.
 
Boot disk images are also available from www.bootdisk.com 
(not affiliated with LSI Logic).


3. Reboot the system, and boot from the bootable floppy.  
At the A:\ prompt, remove the boot diskette and insert the diskette with 
the extracted LSI Logic rom and firmware image files.

4. At the A:> prompt, type 

'flsh1030 /b:mptps.rom'

Press enter. The flash utility will flash the HBA's BIOS.

5. At the A:> prompt, type 

'flsh1030 /f:it_1030.fw' 

FOR the LSI53C1030T or the LSI53C1020A

'flsh1030 /f:it_1030T.fw

Press enter. The flash utility will flash the HBA's Firmware

Notes:
*** The flsh1030 executable file can flash both bios and fw concurrently
by putting both switches on the command line. 
'flsh1030 /b:mptps.rom /f:it_1030.fw'
Additional instructions for the flash utility are located in the 
Flash 1030.txt file in this zip package.

***LSI Logic recommends backing up the current version of BIOS and 
Firmware to file before updating the HBA. The diskette created with the 
new image files should have adequate space for these files.

*** The BIOS .rom image and the Firmware .fw image names may change from 
the examples given in steps 4 and 5 above. Before starting the flash 
utility make a note of the file names for both images.
