With iFlash.exe, run: iflash /i /fb For more details, refer to readme files from \BIOS. 2) The adapter you have should be at firmware 2.0.0.5. Use iFlash.exe for firmware update if needed. The firmware 2.0.0.5 is available in \Firmware directory. The firmware file is Qla4010.dl. Run: iflash /i /ff For more details, refer to readme files from \Firmware. Note: You can also update the BIOS / Firmware for the HBA in SANBlade Control IX, after you have the adapter installed and SBC IX installed. 3) Install QLogic SANBlade Control IX GUI sw for Windows or Linux: Go to the Windows SSIX directory or Linux SSIX directory. pw: config 4) Install the HBA as an Initiator iSCSI Adapter: For SCSIport driver for Windows 2000 or 2003, go to the Windows SCSIport driver directory.
