Flash Firmware

The flash firmware contains version information about the operational firmware located

in the FCSA FLASH memory. Flash firmware runs the FCSAs used for system load so

the processor boot milicode can read the system-load disk.

The flash firmware is not used on NonStop S-series servers.

RAM Firmware

For disks that are not used for system load, operational firmware is downloaded to the

FCSA when you issue the first START DISK command to the first disk drive in the

Fibre Channel loop.
