Updating firmware

[Richs_Office]

Short Story: Raid controller was not working. bought a new one, installed it, but now getting this message with the HW as listed.

Environment:

Intel® Server System R2224WTTYSR
Intel® Integrated RAID Module RMS3AC160
Intel® SSD DC S3520 Series

Error msg: 

"RAID Adapter Firmware Failed Validation!!! Adapter needs to be reflashed.

Press Any Key to  Continue..."

found instructions @ Demo: How to Perform a Firmware Update of Intel® RAID Controllers on...

but my boot messages do not = those of the instructions.

I've played around with booting, but I'm not getting the  EFI shell. 

Is my system too old to use these instructions? Where do I go from here?

Hello Richs_Office,

Thank you for joining the Intel community

The instructions on the video match the ones listed on the download section for the RAID controller firmware: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/29710/eng/3316-MR_FWPKG_v24.22.0-0065_Readme.txt

If your system is not show the boot menu or does not boot into the EFI shell you can access BIOS (F2) > ESC key > F10 > boot to EFI shell

Hope it helps

Hello Richs_Office,

I am just following up to double-check if you found the provided information useful. Also wanted to let you know that you can use the One Boot Flash Update utility in order to update the BIOS from the OS without need to access the EFI shell.

You can download if from here: Download Intel® One Boot Flash Update (Intel® OFU) Utility

I will try to reach you again on next Thursday 29th. After that the thread will be automatically archived.
