2.0  Installation and setup instructions
________________________________________


  2.1   The IBM HBA EXP3000 Update Program will detect if your enclosure
        requires a firmware update.  The first screen will indicate which
        enclosures, if any need to be updated.  All others will be marked OK
        To confirm that they are at a level equal to the one on this update.
        After updates have been applied, enclosures should be marked with a
        status of OK.

    2.1.1 Insert the IBM HBA EXP3000 Update Program CD into the CD-ROM drive;
          then, turn on the system. If the system is already turned on,
          press Ctrl+Alt+Del ro reboot the system to the CD.

    2.1.2 If you have a MegaRAID 8480 SAS controller installed, the IBM HBA
          EXP3000 Update Program will first check the firmware level of the
          controller. If it is downlevel, the program will update it to
          1.03.00-0225 and automatically reboot the system.

    2.1.3 Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

          NOTE: Each ESM may take up to FOUR minutes to update. Do not reboot
          or power cycle the system or the enclosure while the update is
          in progress.


    2.1.4 If the status is reported as BAD, please power cycle the
          system and enclosure then reboot the IBM HBA EXP3000 Update Program
          to see if the enclosure has been updated. If it hasn't then
          please call IBM Service and have it replaced.

  2.2  Other Instructions / Troubleshooting

    2.2.1 If the status is reported as NON-WARRANTED then the IBM HBA
          EXP3000 Update Program has detected a possible unrecognized
          enclosure at that location.  This enclosure has not been
          recognized as a qualified and warranted part. Firmware
          updates will not be applied to enclosure.

          Contact the source where the enclosure was obtained from for
          service or assistance.
