INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 
1. Download the SoftPaq .EXE file to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. Note the 
location where the SoftPaq contents are extracted (the default is 
C:\SWSETUP\SP34076). 

UPDATING THE FIRMWARE:
To update the firmware, complete the following steps:

1. Copy the contents extracted from the SoftPaq .EXE file to a DOS or FreeDOS 
bootable diskette (floppy) or USB key.

2. Ensure that the bootable diskette or USB key is in the drive and boot the 
workstation to the diskette or USB key.

3. Execute the SAS_ADDR.bat file to determine the SAS address that was 
initially programmed for the workstation and record the 16 digit/alpha value. 
This address is required for Step 4.

4. Execute the file SAS_UP.bat to update the firmware to version 1.16.60.00 and 
re-program the SAS address into the SAS Flash.

5. Once the firmware and SAS address have been updated, the workstation should 
be power cycled. Be sure to remove the diskette or USB key prior to Power On.

6. During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), confirm that the LSI SAS1068e Option 
ROM is 6.08.00.00 and the firmware version is 1.16.60.00.

NOTE: After the installation is complete, the download directory, which 
contains the extracted SoftPaq files, can be deleted, if desired.
