This section describes the firmware download process. When the driver package 
is installed, the firmware files are installed onto the host operating system (OS). 

The dynamic firmware download takes place when the driver module is loaded. 
As the driver module is loaded, the firmware file downloaded from the host OS 
becomes the active firmware version on the QLogic adapter.

During the driver installation process, the firmware ROM image files are placed in 
the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers directory. 
Type the following command to determine if the firmware loaded successfully in 
Windows Server. The n in “Local Area Connection n” refers to the port 

being Flashed.

nxflash.exe -i “Local Area Connection n” --info

 (The quotation marks 

are required.)

Check for the following entry:

Active Firmware version: 4.0.408

To determine the port number (n), click the Start button, right-click My Network 

Places, and then click Properties. The Network Connections window opens.

The Network Connections window lists all of the ports and the type of device to 
which they are connected. 

After the installation of the driver RPM, the firmware ROM image files are placed 
in the /lib/firmware directory. 
When the driver is installed, the firmware file located in the /lib/firmware 

directory is dynamically loaded onto the QLogic adapter.

Type the following command to determine if the firmware has loaded successfully. 
The [n] refers to the port number.

ethtool -i eth[n]
