================
1.  The Alarm on the MegaRAID controller is disabled by default.  Enable it in CTRL-M if the alarm feature is desired.


Installation:
=============
MAKE SURE TO FLASH THIS FIRMWARE ONLY WHEN USING A MEGARAID 475/493/471/494/503 CONTROLLER FROM LSI LOGIC CORPORATION.

1. Create a bootable floppy.  This floppy should be a basic boot disk without a config.sys or autoexec.bat; if using a Windows 98 Boot disk, bypass these files by holding down the left shift key. 

2. Take a second blank floppy, and extract all the files from the .ZIP with the firmware in it.

3. Reboot the system, and boot from the DOS bootable floppy.  At the A:> prompt, remove the first disk and insert the second disk.

4. At the A:> prompt, type MFLASH and hit enter.  The MegaRAID flash utility will start.

5. There will be prompts asking if this is the correct adapter, and the correct image.  Say yes to both.

6. The firmware will flash.  There will be a prompt to reboot the system When the controller has been completely flashed.
