3. Important Information
======================================================================
NOTICE: Prior generation firmware is indicated by version that begins
with 06.xx.xx.xx, and the Generation 2 firmware starts with
07.xx.xx.xx. Existing hardware can be upgraded to the Generation 2
firmware. If updating from 06.xx.xx.xx version to 07.xx.xx.xx version,
the upgrade is one way only; it is not possible to return to prior
generation after starting this upgrade procedure.

NOTICE: Microsoft Windows 2000 as a host OS is not supported by the
Generation 2 firmware. Please migrate to a supported OS if usage of
the enhancement features in the Generation 2 firmware is desired.

NOTICE: Ensure that all Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1000 expansion enclosures
being connected to the MD3000i are updated to the latest Dell™
PowerVault™ MD1000 EMM Firmware from support.dell.com. Dell™
PowerVault™ MD1000 EMM Firmware version A03 is the minimum required
firmware level to support connection to the MD3000i array; attaching
an MD1000 with unsupported firmware causes an uncertified condition to
exist on the array. See the updated Hardware Owner's Manual on
http://support.dell.com for more information.

NOTICE: Ensure to check the MD3000i system support matrix on
support.dell.com prior to connecting MD1000 enclosures to an MD3000i
to ensure supported drives and firmware versions are used.
