I.	Notes

1. While running with a QLogic HBA (F_Port) with an NT driver installed, 
   there are two known HBA issues. 1) If you offline the switch, the HBA 
   will not log back in when the switch is brought back online. 2) While 
   the HBA is trying to adjust the credit counters, data frames continue 
   to be received.  The switch eventually detects an out of credit 
   situation, does a link reset (LR) and then recovers.  Other drivers at 
   level 3.2.17 or later no longer exhibit these issues.

2. To achieve optimal performance on a loop port, configure MFSEnabled on 
   (true) for that port. The default is off (false) for all ports. In a 
   future release, a loop device will be automatically detected with 
   MFSEnabled then configured on for that port.


II.	Installing the Firmware via telnet

The following procedure should be used to install Version 4.0.2.04:

After downloading new firmware from Sunsolve, change directory to the 
directory where the new firmware is located.

	ftp to the switch
	login using username images, password images
	enter the following commands:
	> bin
	> put 4.0.2.04.00_xxx (where xxx is mpc for SANbox 5200 and x86 for SANbox2 products)
	> quit
	telnet to the switch
	login using username: admin, password: password
	enter the following commands:
	> admin start
	(admin)> image unpack 4.0.2.04.00_ xxx (where xxx is mpc for SANbox 5200 and x86 for SANbox2 products)

	Wait until you get the following response from the switch:
	(admin)>
	image unpack command result: Passed
	The firmware will be active after the next switch reset.

	(admin)> hotreset
