AMI 493 RAID controller firmware
update and drive installation
If you add a new hard drive to an existing array that has an
AMI 493 controller (firmware version B147 or older), the
Power Console Plus software will scan the drive in a
continuous loop.
To remedy this situation, do one of the following:
 Use the interim solution to install a new drive, perform
a migration, or create a new array.
- OR -
 Update the controller firmware to version B148 or greater.
The firmware update is located on the technical support
page on the www.gatewayatwork.com Web site.
Interim solution:
1Turn off the server.
2Install the new hard drive.
3Turn on the server.
4During the server startup procedure, press CTRL+H to open
the WebBIOS utility and perform the RAID migration or
create another array for the new drive.
5When done, exit WebBIOS, then reboot the server.
Important If the firmware is not available, perform the interim solution.
