ServeRAID BIOS Erased :-(

[paulcdb]

Hi,

I have a serveRAID card and when i check the settings CTRL + I it comes up as BIOS - ERASED

I've tried to update it, but for some reason it doesn't work dispite the update saying that it's completed ok... so is there a way to force the update?

Thanks in advance (unless you tell me the cards a dodo, lol)

Which ServeRAID adapter do you have and wqhat level of BIOS are you trying to update it with.

The current BIOS for the ServeRAID family of adapters is 5.11 available from IBM.

ServeRAID adapters started with the I, II, 3L, 3H, 3HB, 4L, 4M, 4H and a 5i.

Any adapter prior to the 4x will have to be flashed to 3.x prior to flashing to any level later.

Be aware that resource conflicts are not uncommon on a PCI bus. I suggest you manually set the IRQs of all your adapters to eliminate this problem. Do not allow shared IRQs if possible.

Try to flash the BIOS with all cables disconnected.


Good luck
