Update Instructions
================
1. Unzip all of the files from the zip package onto USB key, maintaining the directory structure. Please make sure that the USB key is fully compatible with the EFI version on your motherboard. Some incompatible versions may prevent USB key working normally.

2. Boot to the EFI shell
    - Press 'F2'  during POST to enter BIOS Setup
    - Select Boot Manager -> EFI Shell

3. Change drive and directory location to where you unzipped the package by typing the following commands:
     fs0: <press Enter>     
     cd <SAS FW directory name>

   Note:  You can always get a list of files and sub-directories in the current directory by typing 'dir' command.
          Instead of 'fs0: you may need to type 'fs1:' or 'fs2:', etc. depending on your drive configuration and removable media type.


4. Type in the name of the batch file that matches your board model and press <Enter>.  


   rmsp3jd160j.nsh          RMSP3JD160J	with NVME & SATA/SAS support
   rsp3qd160j.nsh		    RSP3QD160J with NVME & SATA/SAS support
   rsp3gd016j.nsh		  	RSP3GD016J with SATA/SAS support only

   Note:  The batch files default to programming the first logical storage controller ("/c0" switch of the storcli.efi command). 
          If the intended target is not the first enumerated Intel storage controller, modify the .nsh script to "/c1" (or "/c2", etc) to match.

   
   
5. Wait for the flash to complete. Do NOT reboot the system during the update.
