       1.2 Limitations

         The update program will find the options listed above and only updates
         the ESM or drive firmware. The update supports Hard Disk Drive options
         installed in IBM PC Servers, Netfinity Servers, e(logo)server xSeries
         or external storage enclosures controlled by any IBM Fibre Channel
         Raid Storage Subsystems or IBM Fast! Family of Storage Subsystems.


     1.3 Enhancements

         This release includes new microcode that updates
         drives with product ID strings beginning with DDYS and
         DPSS.  The new microcode includes logic changes to prevent
         conditons that may result in premature drive failures or
         in a possible error that could overwrite sectors of data.
         This error could result in incorrect or lost data and could
         go undetected by the system user.  While the conditions
         required to cause the situation are highly unlikely, we
         nonetheless highly recommend that you install the new
         microcode at your earliest convenience to avoid these
         potential error situations.



     1.4 Level of Recommendation

         IBM considers this update to be highly recommended for all
         customers with drives with product ID's DDYSxxx and
         DPSSxxxx in order to avoid this potential error.


     1.5 Dependencies

         Before running the IBM Fibre Hard Disk Drive Update Program,
         first update IBM Fibre Channel family of storage subsystems NVSRAM/Firmware
         to their latest levels. Next Make sure that all activity to the target drives,
	 and the dirves enclosed in the ESM(s) to be updated, is stopped  
	 If the drives you are updating are being
         used in a Microsoft Cluster Server Environment please carefully read
         the CLUSTER.TXT file on diskette one.

          e. Click 'OK' from the Run window. This file will extract other
             files into the same directory.


     3.2 Installing the Netfinity Fibre Channel Storage Manager 7 Field Tool
          a. Click the 'Start' button on the taskbar;
          b. Click the 'Run' button.
          c. Browse the temp folder or default folder for the 'Setup.exe' 
		 file and click 'Open'.

             Manager 7 Field Tool will be installed.  When asked for a
             directory to install the program, select the default or choose
             one of your own.
          e. Once the install is complete, and the question to re-boot the
             system 'now' is asked, click 'No' and then 'Finish'.

     3.3 Starting the Netfinity Fibre Channel Storage Manager 7 Field Tool
          a. Click the 'Start' button on the taskbar;
          b. Click the 'Programs' button.
          c. Click the 'Netfinity Fibre Channel Storage Manager 7 Field Tool'
          d. A window will appear labeled 'Netfinity Storage Manager 7
             Field Tool (Enterprise Management)'.  This will be refered to
             as the main window.

     3.4 Enabling download function of the storage subsystems 
          a. From the main window, highlight one of the storage subsystems displayed.
          b. From the toolbar click 'Tools'; click 'Execute Script';

          d. From the 'Script Editor' toolbar click 'Tools';
             click 'Execute Only'. This runs the script. After the script
             has completed, errors will be reported if there is only one
             active controller. This is expected.
          e. Close the 'Script Editor' window, thus returning to the main
             window.

     3.5 Downloading the ESM Firmware
          a. Double click a storage subsystem which has ESMs to
             be updated.  This will open the 'Netfinity Storage Manager 7
             Field Tool (Subsystem Management)' window.
          b. From the tool bar, click 'Diagnostics'; click 'Download';
             click ' Firmware'. The 'Download Firmware' window
             will open, displaying a list of drive Enclosures attached to the
             storage subsystem.
	  c. Only select one enclosure (2ESMs) for each update. 
	     This must be done so that the ESM update completes
	     before there is a system time out.
	  d. Only ESMs at 9150 level code need to be updated.
	  e. Select 9150 level ESM (1 enclosure only) to be updated by

                Note: Each drive has an associated Product ID. Only drives with
                      the same Product ID can be updated at the same time.

          c. Select drive(s), with the same Product ID, to be updated by
             highlighting them.  To locate the code to be downloaded to the
             selected drives click 'Browse'; then locate the file
             on the IBM Fibre Hard Disk Drive Update Program CD with the
             same name as the drive's Product ID. Click on the file; click
             'Open'. You will be returned to the 'Download Drive Firmware'
             window.
          d. Click 'Start' button; A 'Confirm Download' window will pop-up to
             confirm the choice of downloading.  Click 'Yes'.  The download
