Important Firmware Notes

Note: The firmware bundle for the QXS-312, QXS-324, QXS-412, QXS-424, QXS-448, and QXS-456

systems is different from the QXS-648 and QXS-656 systems.

Always check the release notes before installing firmware.

Always update controller firmware when:

lInstalling a new system

lAdding drive expansion(s)

lReplacing a controller I/O module(s) or expansion I/O module(s)

Note: Updating controller firmware with expansion I/O modules active ensures that the controller

firmware and expansion I/O module firmware are at a compatible level.
