########################################################################## Dell Hard Drive update utility is designed to run under a UEFI environment at boot up on Dell latest generation of servers. For prior server updates please use DOS based SAS / SATA DELL UEFI Update Tool supports following platforms: T420, T320, R520, R420, R320, R820, R720, R620 and T620. ########################################################################## Use the Dell Diagnostic Delivery Package (USBMake.exe) to create boot media in Windows capable of creating bootable USB Memory devices capable of being used for UEFI booting (with appropriate infrastructure). Once the media is created, the user will need to boot the platform into UEFI boot mode by Press F11 and selecting UEFI boot, then choose USB key to boot from. The Hard Drive Update utility defaults to an Interactive mode requiring user interaction. When the application starts, it will list the configuration page reporting all drives found and current firmware revision. Note: prior Nautilus.DOS displayed if there was a newer firmware revision available. Nautilus.EFI only displays current firmware on the drives. User must select Update Firmware and Nautilus will proceed to update drives that have newer firmware release. When updates are complete, view the results tab to see completion. Also user can exit Nautilus.EFI and view update.txt file in root folder. ########################################################################## The following is a listing of SAS / SATA drive firmware supported in this release: ########################################################################## Table of Contents SAS/SATA Release A00 1.0 Seagate ES 7.2k SATA 3.5", Version KA09, for drive models ST3500514NS (500GB) ST31000524NS 1TB and ST32000644NS 2TB. 2.0 Toshiba SAS 10K SAS 2.5", Version DA07, for drive models MBF2300RC (300GB) and MBF2600R (600GB) 3.0 Seagate 7.2K SAS, 3.5" version KS69 for drive models ST3500414SS (500GB), ST31000424SS (1TB) and ST32000444SS (2TB). 4.0 Seagate 7.2k SATA 2.5", Version DA09, for drive model number ST9500530NS (500GB). 5.0 Toshiba 7.2k SAS 3.5", version DCA8, for drive model nuumbers MK1001TRKB (1TB) and MK2001TRKB (2TB). 6.0 Seagate 7.2k SAS 3.5", version RS0F, for drive model number ST33000650SS (3TB). 7.0 Seagate 7.2k SAS 2.5", Version AS06, for drive model number ST91000640SS (1TB) and ST9500620SS (500GB). 8.0 Seagate 7.2k SATA 2.5", version AA07, for drive model number ST9250610NS (250GB), ST91000640NS (1TB) and ST9500620NS (500GB). 9.0 Seagate 15k SAS 3.5", version EH03, for drive model number ST3300657SS-H (146GB). 10.0 Seagate 7.2k SATA 3.5", version PA07, for drive model numbers ST2000NM0011 (2TB), ST1000NM0011 (1TB) and ST500NM0011 (500GB)1 11.0 Seagate 7.2k SATA 3.5", version RA07, for drive model numbers ST33000650NS (3TB). 12.0 Toshiba SSD SAS 2.5", version A006, for drive model numbers - MK1001GRZB (100GB), MK2001GRZB (200GB) and MK4001GRZ (400GB) 13.0 Seagate 7.2k SAS 3.5", version PS06, for drive model numbers ST2000NM0001 (2TB), ST1000NM0001 (1TB) and ST500NM0001 (500GB) 14.0 Seagate 10k SAS 2.5", version CS08, for drive model numbers ST9900805SS (900GB), ST9600205SS (600GB) and ST9300605SS (300GB) 15.0 Seagate 15k SAS 2.5", version YS08, for drive model numbers ST9300653SS (300GB) and ST9146853SS (146GB) - Recommended 16.0 Western Digital 10k SAS 2.5", version D1S4, for drive model numbers WD3001BKHG (300GB), WD6001BKHG (600GB) and WD9001BKHG (900GB) 17.0 Hitachi 7.2k SAS 3.5", version M2D4, for drive model numbers HUS723020ALS640 (2TB) and HUS723030ALS640 (3TB) ======================================== ================================================= 1.0 Seagate ES 7.2k SATA 3.5" - Recommended ================================================= * Firmware Version KA09 * Seagate ES 7.2k SATA 3.5", Verison KA09, for drive models ST3500514NS (500GB) ST31000524NS 1TB and ST32000644NS 2TB.
