Intel Express 530T Switch Documentation, Firmware, and Utilities ¬

2008-05-17

It has just been brought to my attention that Intel’s support site no longer contains any reference to the Intel Express 530T switch, let alone documentation or utilities such as the password reset utility I had to use not too long ago. Fortunately, at the time I did this, there was a notification on their site that those materials were to be taken down—odly enough, on a date that had already passed—and I had enough foresight to download all I could and archive it for my own needs.

So without further ado, I present to those that may find a need for it, an archive containing PDF documentation, backdoor password generator (pwd.exe), firmware & boot prom version 1.00.09 (530fw.exe), Intel Device Manager 2.1.17 (idv-2.1.17-web.exe & idv-2.1.17-win.exe), and MIBs (530TMIB.EXE):

intel_express_530t_switch.tar.bz2 (45MB)

This is, of course, completely unsupported, but I’ll answer any questions I can while I still have my Intel Express 530T switch operational.

  1. Thank man. I have one of these switches and I don’t know the IP or user name password. It also doesn’t seem to work with a serial cable. The guy I got it from gave me the username/password and ip, but I can’t find the document or get in touch with him anymore. I’m downloading now. Hopefully the stuff works under wine. All my PC’s have ubuntu or BSD.

  2. I have a 550T routing switch and need the firmware for it. Do you happen to have it or know where I can find it?

  3. @Tim Unfortunately, I’m not sure where where one would find the firmware now and I didn’t have the foresight to archive the firmware & software for more than the switch I have. If you do find the software for it, let me know and I’ll be glad to host it.

  4. Hey. Thanks man. You are the best.
    I was just looking for the latest firmware and I guess this is it. By the way, I can offer support on the 530T. If it is needed :) Got 3 off them myself.

  5. Thanks for this.
    I just bought one of these switches on eBay and I’m playing around with it.
    Never know when this might come in helpful.

  6. Congratulations.
    Just post a comment if you need help with aneything.

  7. Hello pal, do you have any 460T firmware files ???

  8. Unfortunately, I only had the foresight to grab the 530T-related files. I’ve kicked myself many times since for this.
