Updating the Controller BIOS and Firmware

You can update your RAID controllers with newer versions of the BIOS and firmware as they become available. Adaptec Storage Manager stores two versions (or images) at a time, so that if you experience problems with a newly downloaded one, you can revert to the previous image.

New images are posted on your vendor's support site on the World Wide Web. Image files for RAID controllers typically come in sets of two or more and have a .ufi file extension.

Note! This task is recommended for advanced users only. If you are also updating to a newer version of Adaptec Storage Manager, complete that update before updating your controller BIOS and firmware.
