Detailed Description

Purpose
Installs firmware of PCIe Mid-plane Switch CYPSWITCHMP for different functioning modes on Intel®Server M50CYP:

  • MBX12 (factory default) - The switch connects to the motherboard with up to 12-drive support per switch (4 lanes per drive).
  • MBX24 - The switch connects to the motherboard with up to 24-drive support per switch (2 lanes per drive, SRIS capable drives are required)
  • HWRX12 - The switch connects to the RS3P4TF160F RAID controller with up to 12-drive support per switch (4 lanes per drive)

Warning
Do not flash the HWRX12 firmware version on the switch card if there is no intention to connect the switch to an RS3P4TF160F RAID controller, otherwise, the switch will no longer be detectable when connected to the motherboard. There is no way to recuperate the switch card other than connecting it to an RS3P4TF160F RAID controller and flash is back with a “connect to motherboard” version.

Firmware Package: 4.6
