DiskFW4 - version 4.01 The utility on this diskette works with various ASPI SCSI adapters. See the list of supported SCSI adapters below. If drive are hooked to Mylex or AMI MegaRAID controller, hook drives to on-board Adaptec and removed PCI-RAID adapter before update. Simply run diskfw4.exe to create a bootable DOS diskette that will update disk firmware for the following drives.

Note that a few of the Seagate Barracuda wide drives may have firmware so old (e.g. 0009) that they need to be reformatted after upgrading. A warning will be displayed if this is detected. DISKFW can now also update the TMS/Servo code to 9570 on the Hawk drives. Updating the Servo is REQUIRED for TMS/Servo rev 9268 and recommended for other revisions. If the Servo/TMS code is updated, a reformat is recommended. The Seagate Barracuda firmware image for 0906/ST15150 also contains the SuperJog Servo image 4045, so you must power off/on the drives before they will restart with the new firmware. The Seagate Barracuda firmware image for 0909/ST32550 also contains the SuperJog Servo image 3036. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If any errors occur while using the DISKFW tool, please rename/copy the DOWNLOAD.LOG and DOWNLOAD.TRC files on the diskette BEFORE running the tool a second time. Note that any errors that occur will prevent the firmware from being downloaded, but will not corrupt the data. The log can be viewed with the TYPE or LIST commands on the diskette. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Symptom: The tool ran and the log shows the message "Servo/TMS download completed successfully", but the last log entry still shows the old version of servo. Cause: Occasionally, the disk will not restart itself after the download due to a timing issue. Solution: Power off/on the system and it will show the new servo version. Symptom: The graphics on the screen appear garbled. Cause: You probably have a black-and-white video monitor. Solution: Ignore the display and use one of the automatic modes, or use "Download /M". Symptom: The DOWNLOAD.TRC file shows Sense 05, ASC 26, ASCQ 99 as an error from the download (Write Buffer command). This means that the disk detected that the firmware tag did not match and this firmware image is not meant for this disk. SCSI Adapters supported with this tool, as of 04/02/01: Adaptec PCI 7880 - supported Adaptec PCI 789x - supported Symbios LSI Logic ( 53C896, 53C810) - supported ( S50 ) * NOTE: You may receive and error during upgrade, but if you re-run firmware update with Manual option, it will display the drives at correct firmware level.
