General Instructions

Download the Firmware Update
1. Before beginning the firmware download process close all other programs except for your internet browser.
2. Find the boot from CD Firmware Update associated with the part number of your Crucial Solid-State Drive.
3. Click Download and the browser will prompt you to select Open, Save or Cancel. Select Save to download the .zip file
containing the ISO Image to your system.
4. Using CD Burning software of your choice, burn the ISO Image (.iso file) to CD media.

Complete the following steps before starting the firmware update process:
1. Backup the Solid-State Drive
It is highly recommended that full system backup be completed before starting this firmware upgrade procedure. If the
upgrade is interrupted (by a power loss or hardware failure of some sort), it is possible that the solid-state drive may not
function properly.
2. Plug Drive into Motherboard port 0-3
If your SSD is in a desktop computer system, ensure that your SSD is plugged into one of the first four ports on the
motherboard, typically labeled 0 through 3. Some systems do not support “hot-plugging” your SSD. If necessary, shut
down power to your system before plugging your SSD into a new port.
Note: The upgrade process will not work with some drop-in HBAs (Host Bus Adapters) or 6.0 Gb/s ports. If your drive is
not identified properly (see Step 3 under “Run the Firmware Update” section below.
Most notebook computers will not require a physical change of ports.
3. Use AC Power
Ensure your mobile PC or desktop PC is plugged in to AC power during the update process. It is not recommended to
use only battery power during the upgrade. Do not remove power at any time during the firmware update process as
this could produce incomplete results and may render your solid-state drive unusable.

Edit BIOS Settings
Per the steps below, you may need to edit your computer’s BIOS settings. Please see your computer’s owner’s manual for
details on editing these settings.
a. Disable/Remove Drive Passwords
Enter the BIOS (typically by hitting the “Delete”, “F2” or “F12” key during start-up screen), and disable any passwords
that you may have set on the SSD. Password protections will block firmware updates.
b. Check the Boot Order
If your system does not boot from CD/DVD drive, you will need to edit your BIOS settings. While in the BIOS editor,
check the drive boot order. As a default, most systems will boot from the CD-ROM/DVD drive before the system
drive. Depending on the BIOS vendor, find an option named “Boot Device Priority”, “Boot Load Order”, or possibly
“Advanced BIOS Features”. Ensure that the system boots to the bootable media drive before the drive that contains
the OS.
c. Change SATA mode to IDE mode
From BIOS Setup, change the SATA mode to IDE or Legacy mode or “compatibility mode.” The firmware update will
not work in AHCI mode. Look for a parameter named “SATA Configuration”, or possibly “Integrated Peripherals”.

Run the Firmware Update
1. Insert the bootable CD media with the ISO Image into your system.
2. Reboot the system from the bootable media. This will automatically start the Firmware Update. The following screen
will appear:
3. Enter “yes” in lower case letters when asked to update the firmware and the process will begin. The following screen
will appear:

4. The length of time for the upgrade to take is dependent on how much user data is present. For a new or nearly empty
drive, the process takes only seconds. For a drive that is nearly full, it is normal for the process may take as long as 3 to 4
minutes, as the upgrade software takes steps to protect user data.
5. Upon completion, the following message will display:
6. IMPORTANT!!! The revision of the firmware will be listed. If the revision is NOT listed as 0002, then repeat the process
from Step 1 of the “Run the Firmware Update” section above.
7. If you are not sure what revision firmware you have or want to confirm you can enter dosmcli --verbose –d at the A:\>
prompt. The last line shown is the Firmware Revision. If 0002 is not shown, repeat the process from Step 1 of the “Run
the Firmware Update” section above.
PLEASE NOTE: This command will list all ATA drives on your system,not just the Crucial SSD.
8. Shut down your system by pressing and holding the power button. If necessary, move your SSD’s cable back to its
original port.
9. Turn power back ON. Remember to re-enter the BIOS Setup. You may restore any BIOS settings you made at the start of
this process back to original settings.
10. Process is complete.
