600 Qio Firmware Updater (OS X) 2.0.1
Download Now
Jun-13-2013
Operating System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.6+
Description: This OS X software updates the firmware in the Sonnet Qio. This version updates expands the PC compatibility of Qio (revision H and later, as identified in the serial number). After the firmware is updated, the Qio will continue to operate as before with Mac computers.

Notes:
1) If you are updating an older Qio (part numbers QIO-E34 and QIO-PCIE, revision A - G), you must also use the Mac OS serial ROM flasher to make the Qio Windows-compatible.
2) You may need to run this updater twice. If the firmware updater is unsuccessful after the second attempt, please contact Sonnet support for further assistance.
