How to cross flash
First things first, we take no responsibility for anything going wrong.
Please read carefully, don't take shortcuts, and BE CAREFUL !!
If in doubt or you can't afford a replacement should it go wrong then 'walk a away'
Warnings are done, lets flash:
Make a bootable USB stick, needs to be DOS bootable for the flasher etc to work, there are number ways to do it, ask Google
Download the files I have compressed over here
Self Extract the files somewhere, then place onto the USB stick
Turn machine off grab the SAS address of the card, it's on the back on a green sticker (ie 500605B0xxxxxxxx)
Turn machine in (with card back in) choose USB stick at boot option, for all the below it is assumed you are booted to USB stick in the directory with the files from download.
