What are you trying to update? AXXRAKSW5 is a hardware key and doesn't require a software update.

thats right, but the AXXRAKSW5 activate the hardwareraid or not? Can I update the hardwareraid without hardware key?

No AXXRAKSW5 activates software RAID 5. What hardware RAID component are you using?

hmm...okay..... I use the combination SR1690WB with AXXRAKSW5. AXXRAKSW5 activate only software RAID, thanks for the information. But can I update this combination with the "EPSD_SAS_FW_v.2009.10.06_ph17" - packet? In the "ESRT2_IR_readme.txt" I found a information to the update with AXXRAKSW5 RAIDKEY, but not the right *.nsh file for the update.

No, the "EPSD_SAS_FW_v.2009.10.06_ph17" package is only used on SAS controllers. I believe you're using the onboard SATA controller, and that part of firmware is included in the BIOS package. Download the following package and follow the instructions:
