QLogic 8100 Series Converged Network adapters ship with the latest available 
firmware version. QLogic periodically releases new firmware versions, which can 
be downloaded from the QLogic Web site as part of a multi-boot image. Always 
use the latest firmware versions for enhanced performance and availability. 

QLogic does not publish an image for download that contains just the firmware, 
but rather publishes a package (known as boot code or multi boot image) that 
contains the firmware, BIOS drivers, UEFI drivers, and offline utilities. To update 
the firmware, you must update the boot code on the QLogic 8100 Series 
Adapters. QLogic publishes one boot code for all operating systems and 8100 
Series Adapter models.
