Hi Torsten,

Thanks for the update.But I couldnt do the update,as it is giving the following error -
blk2:\Firmware> update_sas.efi
update_sas v2.6

LoadProductIDNew() Product ID = 0x0401
Found A0 controller.

assertion "tmp != NULL" failed: file "sys\open.c", line

And the current version is -
blk2:\Firmware> sasflash -listall

Did you copy all the files to an USB stick?
I would try to power off the server, pull the internal disks, then boot and do the update.

see attachment.
