Attention!
===========
The Firmware update utility is not incorporated in this download and must be applied using the OS version of the StorCon utility or the firmware update utility (FRUU).

It may not be possible to apply this update using the Xrom (cntl+g) version of StorCon to a controller with firmware 2.36 or older.  
The use of an OS (DOS, Windows, or Linux) version of StorCon or the FRU utility may be used.  

This firmware supports both the "normal" and "recovery" update modes. 
If the RAID controller firmware is corrupted, you must move the recovery jumper on your controller to the recovery position in order to apply this update using the FRUU.
The Intel(R) Server RAID Controller SRCU32 does not have a recovery jumper and the FRUU utility can only be used in normal mode on this controller.
