There are 3 firmware for the InWin JBOD system: 

 

1. Network Management Firmware

 

2. SAS Expander Firmware

 

3. SAS Expander MFG CFG file

 

 

There are a couple of ways to upgrade the system firmware according to the HW 
configurations. Please note that the upgraded firmware won’t take effect until a 
system reboot

 

 

Note:

 

 

 

 

4.3.9.1

 

  CLI (Telnet or SSH) 

Users are able to upgrade management firmware, SAS Expander firmware 
and MFG CFG file through TFTP or Xmodem when using CLI commands.   
Below the examples are with TFTP server. 
 
All sorts of firmware upgrades going through TFTP would be intelligently 
upgraded to the right hardware. More conveniently, all Expanders 
(including Bridge Expander and internal expanders, they are sharing the 
same firmware and MFG file) can be upgraded at the same time when 
upgrade command is applied and committed.   
 
To upgrade through TFTP, open a TFTP server on your console host and 
specify the path in TFTP server to the directory where the firmware is 
stored. Please be sure the TFTP server is reachable to the JBOD system.   

 

 
 

Be careful NOT to power off the system when conducting system firmware upgrade. 
Power loss during firmware upgrade would somehow crash system firmware.   
 
In case firmware crash occurs, call help from technical support.
