manages all link exceptions, which serves to isolate the host driver from
Fibre Channel unique exceptions. With the Fusion-MPT architecture,
parallel SCSI host drivers can be used with the LSI Logic Fibre Channel
controllers with little or no additional functionality for Fibre Channel.
3.3 Installing the Firmware
The Fibre Channel 鏗乺mware may be updated using the Fibre Channel
Flash Utility, which comprises an executable program called
FCUTIL.EXE.
