Power Edge R310 Update firmware PERC S300
Hi everyone.
I have 3 PowerEdge R310 operating with 3 HDD / RAID5 on PERC S300.
If i try updating PERC firmware (SAS-RAID_Firmware_RPCKX_WN32_2.0.0-016600193000_A06) whilst the server is online, the RAID and SO restarted intact?
I apreciate your answers.
Thanks.

Hello
Yes, your RAID and OS should be intact after the upgrade. The firmware upgrade will not take effect until after you restart the system. The system should be restarted after applying the update. It is best practice to always have a valid tested backup before performing any hardware/software changes on a production system.
Thanks

Thanks for our help.
2 of those servers have installed the firmware old version v.1.0.1-0021+00193000. The last one is v.2.0.0-0166+00193000 FW , A06.
Is possible upgrading over this old version?

The top of the drivers and download page has an option to select your operating system. If you are running a 64 bit OS then use the 64 bit installer.
