            The array configuration for one or more RA4X00 controllers may
            no longer be compatible with the new firmware. Use ACU to
            recreate each array volume with the original configuration or
            upgrade the RA4X00 controllers back to the previous firmware
            revision. Failure to do so may result in the loss of data.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  
 
HOW TO USE:

1. Obtain twelve (12) formatted 1.44-MB diskettes.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskettes in a drive to create the diskettes.

4. After the diskettes have been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

5. The Options ROMPaq diskettes are self-booting diskettes.  Place each
ROMPaq diskette into your drive A: diskette drive and power cycle your
system to begin updating the appropriate components.
