Note
Before using this information and the product it supports, read the following information:
• The general information in “Notices” on page 105
• The information in the “Safety and environmental notices” on page xiii
• The information in the IBM Environmental Notices and User Guide (provided on a DVD)
Important: Disk Enclosure Firmware (FW) must be updated during rst installation or disk enclosure
will not be properly recognized by the controller Node..
• Procedure has been updated from flyer shipping with appliance to use the right-hand ESM instead of
the left-hand ESM.
• Check the IBM Cloud® Object Storage documentation site for any updates to the procedure.
• Might take up to 45 minutes for a full FW update.
1. After physical installation of the Disk Enclosure and controller in the rack, attach a single SAS cable
between the rightmost SAS port on the rear of the controller and port 1 on the right-hand ESM of the
Disk Enclosure.
2. Log in to the nut shell on the controller Node and run the FW update command:
#enclosure firmware upgrade
3. After rmware update is complete check FW version by running the command:
#enclosure firmware versions
Expected output:
Element Type: enclosure
Element Identifier: primary
Description FW Revision

SEM1 Expander 1 0EA4.official
SEM1 Expander 2 0EA4.official
SEM2 Expander 1 0EA4.official
SEM2 Expander 2 0EA4.official
4. Restart system and attach a second SAS cable to the right ESM.
Failure to update the Disk Enclosure FW can cause attached controller from booting correctly and disk
enclosure be properly recognized within the IBM Cloud Object Storage System.
This edition applies to theIBM Cloud Object Storage System™ J15 disk enclosure and to all subsequent modications
until otherwise indicated in new editions.
