Intel branded mobo.
S5000PSL
I am trying to determine the exact firmware file to use.
The support page for the mother board is pasted here -

The page for what appears to the correct firmware zip is here -
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22142&lang=eng
This zip contains firmware for several products.
Within the readme(S) ((There are several readme's for this download)) there are details to use to determine which file to use, however i am at a loss.
I was given this server to play around with, i am going to use it as a NAS for a lab setup.
I need to know how do i determine which file to execute.
I can take as many pics as anyone would like, just ask.
((The controller chip is an LSISAS1064E))
(((Next I will be asking for opinions on linux(freenas) vs windows storage server for a SAN install to this thing for iScsi for live clustering/failover, but that will wait.)))
Oracle Solaris 11, Nexenta or Open Indiana with Napp-It

it might be easier with Nexenta Community Edition.

Far better, more performance than FreeNAS or Windows Stoage Server!
I'll have a look through the files...
why so keen to update the firmware?
