Verifying firmware integrity

I have some older EqualLogic firmware files that I may need to apply to an array - is there a list of hashes for the different firmware files from Dell that can be compared against the files I have to ensure that they haven't been damaged or changed in some way, such as the rare case of silent corruption that can sometimes show up, or are they signed in such a way that the controller, on trying to install it, can verify that the file is undamaged and exactly what is expected prior to flashing it?

Hello,

I'm not aware of a list like the one you address. Normally, the checksum value can be checked by searching for the relevant device in Dell support https://dell.to/4aiYGPP, then selecting the relevant firmware or driver and clicking View full driver details. There you can see MD5, SHA1 and SHA-256 hash codes.
But I could not find any data in a list. I mean like below screenshot

Hope that helps!

@DELL-Erman O Yes, I've seen that with other updates, however, it does not seem to be present with the EQL firmware. I no longer have access to download any of the EQL firmware, but at the page with the link that takes you to to log in and then download the file, there are no checksums.

@DELL-Erman O Unfortunately, the links on that page take me to the login page like the last release (10.0.3). As the EqualLogics are EOSL per Dell, there's probably nobody with an active contract that can even download the firmware these days. You'd think that once a device goes EOSL and you can no longer even buy support, they'd make the firmware available. At that point, there's no reason to keep it locked up.

I have downloaded the 10.0.1 from the site above because the 10.0.2 is broken(incomplete and only 7.7MB or so). We are a valid customer/partner/installer.
