UEFI shell instructions for updating RAID Firmware:
- Download and extract all files to a USB flash drive.
- Boot the target system to EFI shell.
- Change directory to the local drive and directory containing the flash update files and the firmware image file.
- Type the name of the .nsh file matching the controller to update (e.g. "RMSP3HD080E.nsh" and press to execute the command
- The storcli command line in the .nsh command will default to the first logical RAID contoller ("/c0"). If this there are multiple controllers, the value of controller parameter ("/Cx") will need to be modified to match the specific controller intended for update.
- Wait for the flash to complete. Do NOT reboot the system during the update.
- You can also use RAID Web Console 3 or OS version of StorCLI to update the RAID firmware.

Attention!

- Intel recommends to loading Factory Default setting after the firmware upgrade which will not affect data on any existing array.
- Reboot the system and login to the RAID BIOS Console.
- Select the controller and select 'Adapter Properties'->'Next'
- Set the 'Set Factory Defaults' setting to 'Yes' and submit the change.
- Reboot the system (the default settings are applied).
- Re-configure to the desired settings in RAID Web Console3.

Firmware downgrade notice

- Intel does not recommend to downgrade the factory installed firmware on your RAID module or controller, it has important enhancements and bug fixes you may lose when going to a previous version.
- If you need to install an older firmware version, please contact Intel for instructions on how to perform this action.

About Firmware Updates:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device's functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit's overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn't recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it's best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device's firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don't miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
