Supported RAID Controllers
==========================
This download supports Intel(R) RAID controllers using SAS software stack (RS2WC080, RS2WC040, RMS2AF080 and RMS2AF040), please verify that this utility has been tested with the RAID card you have chosen to use by checking the drivers web page for your controller at http://support.intel.com.

===================
Package Information
===================
Flash package = v20.11.1-0135 (firmware 2.130.384-2166)

==========
Attention!
==========
Intel recommends to loading Factory Default setting after the firmware upgrade which will not affect data on any existing array. To do so:
1. Reboot the system and login to the RAID BIOS Console. 
2. Select the controller and select 'Adapter Properties'->'Next'
3. Set the 'Set Factory Defaults' setting to 'Yes' and submit the change.
4. Reboot the system (the default settings are applied).
5. Re-configure to the desired settings in RAID Web Console2.

==================
Known Restrictions
==================
1) This download does NOT support EFI v1.1 environment. Please use the EFI shell command "ver" to identify the EFI version.
2) When 2 or more VDs are created, VD cache settings must be the same.
