8. Repeat Steps 2 through 6 for each additional adapter or if you want to
configure your adapter with more than one option.
9. CD: Remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive and restart the server.
Diskette: Remove the diskette from the disk drive, and restart the server.
10. Go to “Installing the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter device drivers” on page 9.
Creating the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter BIOS Update Utility diskette
If you cannot use the Support CD to update the adapter BIOS code, you can create
a diskette using the Support CD. Instructions for creating and using the diskette are
described in the following sections.
Note: For a Novell NetWare environment, you will need to unpack the BIOS
Update Utility diskette using a server that is running a Microsoft
®
Windows
®
2000 or Linux
®
operating system.
Creating the diskette
Create the BIOS Update Utility diskette by copying the image you need from the
IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD or by
downloading the image from the http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/
Web site.
For Microsoft Windows 2000 or Server 2003
Complete the following steps to create a BIOS Update Utility diskette for Microsoft

2000 or Server 2003 from the IBM System Storage DS4000 FC 4Gbps
PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD:
1. Insert the IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD
into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Insert a diskette into the diskette drive.
3. At the command prompt, type:
d:\tools\dsk4w32 d:\images\biosnvrm\24xx\246x_xxx.img a:
Where d is the CD-ROM drive and a is the diskette drive.
4. Press ″Enter.″
5. Remove the IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD
from the CD-ROM drive.
6. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive and label the diskette appropriately.
For Linux
Complete the following steps to create a BIOS Update Utility diskette for Linux from
the IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD:
1. Insert the IBM System Storage DS4000 PCI-X Host Bus Adapter Support CD
into the CD-ROM drive and restart the server.
2. Insert a diskette into the diskette drive.
3. At the command prompt, type:
mount -t iso9660/dev/cdromdevicefile /mnt
Where cdromdevicefile is the specific device file for the CD-ROM block device.
4. Press ″Enter.″
5. Type:
dd if=/mnt/images/biosnvrm/24xx/246x_xxx.img of=/dev/diskettedevicefile bs=32
6. Press ″Enter.″
7. Unmount the CD-ROM by typing:
