How is data input to this memory?
Storage Controller
Processor
Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is
executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (DRMK, USC, OS DUPs
utility support) containing the firmware file and the loader. Backplane loaded with bad
firmware will not provide backplane and HDD status.
Control Panel
Internal USB Either read-only license key or OS control copies
Power Supply
PSU Microcontroller
Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is
executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (Unified Server
Configurator) containing the firmware file and the loader. PSUs loaded with bad firmware will
not provide PSU functional behavior and result in PSU system faults.
PDB Microcontroller N/A
PERC 6/i Adapter
PERC NVSRAM Config
Data Storage firmware controls this data
PERC firmware Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is
executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (DUPs, Unified Server
Configurator) containing the firmware file and the loader. Storage adapters loaded with bad
firmware will not provide storage controller behavior.
PERC Cache RAM
Embedded storage firmware controls the use of storage cache data.
