StorView® management suite uses the industry standard SES com-
munications protocol, which is the only supported communication
method to the enclosure firmware. Other tools may cause unpredict-
able side effects and hence are not supported.
SES support is at ANSI SES 2.0 level and supports SES Pages 0, 1, 2,
5, 7, Ah and Eh. Download of the Enclosure firmware is supported
via SES Page Eh. During firmware download all RAID data activity
must be stopped.
