Appendix
C.
Upgrading
the
controller
firmware
for
DS4300,
DS4400,
and
DS4500
(DS4000
EXP710
only)
The
instructions
in
this
appendix
are
applicable
to
new
storage
subsystems
that
consist
of
a
DS4400
or
DS4500
storage
server
with
controller
firmware
version
5.4x.xx.xx
or
earlier
connected
only
to
one
or
more
DS4000
EXP710s.
You
must
perform
the
manual
firmware
upgrade
procedure
detailed
in
this
appendix
if
you
are
attaching
one
or
more
DS4000
EXP710s
to
a
DS4400
or
DS4500
storage
server.
Attention:
If
you
are
connecting
your
storage
expansion
enclosures
to
a
DS4300
that
is
populated
with
hard
disk
drives,
its
internal
drive
will
start
up
normally
after
you
have
cabled
the
DS4000
EXP710s.
However,
if
none
of
the
DS4300
internal
drive
slots
are
populated,
you
must
also
follow
the
procedure
in
this
appendix
because
a
DS4300
without
any
internal
hard
disk
drives
will
not
recognize
any
connected
DS4000
EXP710s.
Because
DS4400
and
DS4500
RAID
controllers
with
controller
firmware
version
5.4x.xx.xx
or
earlier
will
not
recognize
the
DS4000
EXP710,
the
RAID
controllers
will
not
be
able
to
spin
up
the
drives
in
the
DS4000
EXP710
to
complete
the
normal
DS4000
storage
server
boot
process.
As
a
result,
the
DS4400
and
DS4500
RAID
controllers
A
and
B
will
not
synchronize
and
thus
will
not
be
presented
as
a
single
identity
in
the
DS4000
Enterprise
Management
window
when
the
new
storage
expansion
enclosures
are
connected.
DS4000
EXP710
support
requires
that
you
upgrade
any
connected
DS4400
and
DS4500
Storage
Servers
with
DS4000
controller
firmware
and
NVSRAM
version
6.10.xx.xx
or
later.
If
you
did
not
order
your
DS4000
storage
server
from
the
factory
with
firmware
version
6.10.xx.xx
or
later
installed,
you
must
upgrade
the
controller
firmware
manually
from
firmware
version
5.4x.xx.xx
or
earlier.
