[rescue] DEC Storageworks SBB Problem

Stoned koalas drooled eucalyptus spit in awe as Mike Meredith exclaimed:

It's a DAC960, I think that the AlphaBIOS identifies it as a SWXCR or 
something like that.  I've actually gotten a few drives to work now but 
it's still a pain in the ass.

Where do I get the firmware upgrade and how difficult is it to install? 
I'd hate to hose my RAID controller.
