Type 13 FW

Hi

What is the lowest firmware level a TYPE13 will take?

Is there a document which states the min/max level of each controller type or can someone say?

Thanks

hello,

Type 13 has a minimum of 7.x. EQL FW. However, that FW is very old, all newer EQL arrays should be at 10.0.3.

Hello,

No, that is not correct. The Type 13 is a PS4110M controller. From the release notes for 7.x

Select the 32-bit kit for the following array models:

PS4000, PS-M4110

PS5000, PS5500E

PS6000, PS6010

PS6500, PS6510

Regards,

Don

Hello,

You probably were using the 64bit FW kit. That controller only supports 32bit Firmware.
