1. Prepare to run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostics CD or the EFI partition:

• To run saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:

a. Download the firmware and copy it to the EFI partition.

b. Place the Offline Diagnostic CD containing saupdate.efi in the CD drive before

booting the system.

c. Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt.

d. Locate the cdrom entry in the list of mapped devices, and change to the device by

entering its associated fs number (for example, fs0) under EFI Shell prompt.

e. If the EFI utility and firmware image files are not located in the root directory,

move to the directory where these files are located, for example:

fs0:\> cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray

• To run saupdate from the EFI partition:

a. Download the Smart Array EFI update utility saupdate.efi and copy it to the

EFI partition.

b. Download the firmware and copy it to the EFI partition.

c. Boot the system to the EFI Shell and change directories to the EFI partition.

IMPORTANT: The firmware image file and saupdate.efi must be located in the same

directory. If they are not, copy them to the EFI partition and run the saupdate from there.

2. Use saupdate UPDATE to update the firmware on the controller.

The syntax of the saupdate UPDATE command is as follows:

saupdate UPDATE <seg:bus:dev:func> <smartarray_firmware_file>

For example, to update the controller at segment 0, bus 52, device 0, function 0 from the

example output above:

fs0:\> saupdate UPDATE 0:52:0:0 INCPTR.PAK

Replace INCPTR.PAK with the name of your firmware file.

For example:

fs0:\EFI\TOOLS> saupdate update 0:52:0:0 INCPTR.PAK
