1. New Features in this Release
- Dual firmware flash image support (Adaptec Series 7 controllers only)
Adds redundancy to controller firmware, with support for active
and passive images. Built-in logic determines the "right time" to
update from passive to active, either at shutdown or boot up, and
is designed to protect against image corruption or data loss due
to power failure during image update. If the update occurs in the
boot path, a server reboot is expected. Additionally, you must be
running the latest drivers.
NOTE: This feature is enabled only when upgrading from and to a
firmware version that supports dual firmware images. For customers
updating from an earlier Adaptec release (2012.3 or 2012.4MR),
there is no change in behavior. The firmware image is updated
in one stage.

background and may take 10 minutes to complete. Another message
