Unzip all of the files from the zip package onto USB key, maintaining the directory structure. - Please make sure that the USB key is fully compatible with the EFI version on your motherboard. - Some incompatible versions may prevent USB key working normally. 2. Boot to the EFI shell - Press 'F2' during POST to enter BIOS Setup - Select Boot Manager -> EFI Shell 3. Change drive and directory location to where you unzipped the package by typing the following commands: - Use map –r to refresh the mounted drives list. - Change file system to the media containing the firmware package by typing the fs# followed by a colon(:). For example, if media is mapped as FS0, then type FS0: and press enter - Navigate to the directory containing firmware using cd command. cd - Find the firmware package files by typing DIR 4. Type in the name of the batch file with desired interface support that matches your board model and press . File Product support rmsp3jd160j.mixed.nsh RMSP3JD160J with SATA/SAS/NVME support rmsp3jd160j.nvme.nsh RMSP3JD160J with NVME support rmsp3jd160j.nsh RMSP3JD160J with SATA/SAS rsp3qd160j.mixed.nsh RSP3QD160J with SATA/SAS/NVME support rsp3qd160j.nvme.nsh RSP3QD160J with NVME support rsp3qd160j.nsh RSP3QD160J with SATA/SAS support rsp3gd016j.nsh RSP3GD016J with SATA/SAS support Note: The batch files default to programming the first logical storage controller ("/c0" switch of the storcli.efi command). If there are multiple controllers and the intended target is not the first enumerated Intel storage controller, run storcli.efi show to determine the controller order numbering. The .nsh script must be modified so that the "/c0" argument matches the desired controller to update. Example: "/c0", "/c1", "/c2", etc. 5. Wait for the flash to complete. Do NOT reboot the system during the update. ================ Fixes/Updates ================ Package Version 10.00.01.02 1) Fix to exception handler when reboot encounters a bad drive 2) Fix to NVData read which caused failures to spin-up certain SAS SPL-2 Power Control capable drives 3) Fix to improve routing of aborted NVMe Encapsulated commands 4) Fix to keep Crit and Non-Crit status bits in Enclosure Status Diagnostic page set correctly 5) Fix to processing upstream PCIe errors while resetting drives 6) Fix to prevent IO hangs after controller receives unconfirmed response from drive 7) Fix to improve interrupt priority algorithm Package Version 09.00.03.01 1) Fix added to allow for modified Host Memory page sizes 2) Fix added for NVMe I2C backplane detection failures on connectors C2/C3 3) Fix added to enhance drive discovery during hot plugging 4) Enhancement to interrupt handling when an interrupt faults 5) Fix to SES Page 2 request with expander present 6) Fix to host memory corruption during progress polling of a Sanitize operation on SATA drives. 7) Fix to exception handling when IO reads are sent to bad media Package Version 06.00.10.01 1) Added support for mixed mode (NMVe + SAS/SATA mixed configuration) 2) Improved error handling for NVMe devices 3) Modifications related to NVMe task management for improved robustness and compatibility with NVMe devices. 4) Improved SCSI to ATA and SCSI to NVMe translation 5) Added support for unique id and serial number for virtual SES 6) Various improvements to virtual SES implementation, including vpd page 0x83 and SES page 0x0A 7) Prevent backplane amber LED transitions during warm reboot.
