AMI 493 RAID controller firmware
update and drive installation
If you add a new hard drive to an existing array that has an
AMI 493 controller (firmware version B147 or older), the
Power Console Plus software will scan the drive in a
continuous loop.
To remedy this situation, do one of the following:
Use the interim solution to install a new drive, perform
a migration, or create a new array.
- OR -
Update the controller firmware to version B148 or greater.
The firmware update is located on the technical support
page on the www.gatewayatwork.com Web site.
Interim solution:
1
Turn off the server.
2
Install the new hard drive.
3
Turn on the server.
4
During the server startup procedure, press C
TRL
+H to open
the WebBIOS utility and perform the RAID migration or
create another array for the new drive.
5
When done, exit WebBIOS, then reboot the server.
Important
If the firmware is not available, perform the interim solution.
