Supported RAID Controllers
==========================
This download supports Intel(R) 34xx/35xx RAID controllers using MR software stack (RMSP3AD160F, RMSP3CD080F, RMSP3HD080E, RMSP3LD060/AHWBPBGB24R, RSP3TD160F, RSP3MD088F, RSP3DD080F, RSP3WD080E


===================
Package Information
===================
Flash package = v50.5.2-1326


==========
Attention!
==========
Intel recommends 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 Console3.

---------------------------------------
Firmware downgrade notice
---------------------------------------
Intel does not recommend to downgrade the factory installed firmware on your RAID module or controller, it has important enhancements and bug fixes you may lose when going to a previous version.
If you need to install an older firmware version, please contact Intel for instructions on how to perform this action.


==================
Known Restrictions
==================
1) This download does NOT support EFI v1.1 environment. Please use the EFI shell command “ver" which will display the EFI version, to identify the EFI version.
2) When 2 or more VDs are created, VD cache settings must be the same.
3) The default installation of this MR7.5p2 version of firmware only has formal support for SAS/SATA mode.  Support for NVMe mode requires manually changing
   the controller's profile from 10 to 11.
    To switch from SAS/SATA mode to NVMe mode on controller 0 at EFI prompt: “storcli.efi /c0 set profile profileid=11” followed by “reset –c” 
    To switch from NVMe mode back to SAS/SATA mode on controller 0 at EFI prompt: “storcli.efi /c0 set profile profileid=10” followed by “reset –c”
    
    (as shown by “storcli.efi /cX show profile” the default profile is SAS/SATA, so if you set factory defaults, you will no longer be in NVMe mode on the following DC cycle)

UEFI shell instructions for updating RAID Firmware:
-----------------
   1. Download and extract all files to a USB flash drive.
   2. Boot the target system to EFI shell. 
   3. Change directory to the local drive and directory containing the flash update files and the firmware image file.
   4. Type the name of the .nsh file matching the controller to update (e.g. "RMSP3HD080E.nsh" and press <Enter> to execute the command
      -  The storcli command line in the .nsh command will default to the first logical RAID contoller ("/c0").  If this there are multiple controllers, the value of 
	     controller parameter ("/Cx") will need to be modified to match the specific controller intended for update.
   5. Wait for the flash to complete. Do NOT reboot the system during the update.

You can also use RAID Web Console 3 or OS version of StorCLI to update the RAID firmware.  For more detail, please refer to the Intel(R) RAID Software User's Guide.
