Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 113

Updating the Flash Using the AFU Command Line

1 Create the firmware update disks (see page 109).

2 Shut down your operating system and reboot to DOS from a bootable DOS floppy disk or

from a DOS partition on a bootable drive. (You can use a disk connected to the controller

you’re updating.) If your computer isn’t set up to boot from the bootable floppy disk or a

bootable device other than a disk drive, enter the system setup utility to change the setting.

3 Insert the firmware update disk containing AFU.exe

4 At the DOS command, if you have multiple controllers and you don’t know the number of

the controller you want to update, type

AFU LIST

, then press Enter. Otherwise, skip to the

next step.

5 At the DOS command, type AFU followed by a command (see page 110) and any switches

you want.

6 Update the flash using the instructions suitable for your requirements:

● To update a single RAID controller:

AFU UPDATE /C <cont_number>

Where <cont_number> is the number of the RAID controller whose firmware you

are updating. For example, to upgrade Controller 0, type

AFU UPDATE /C 0

● To update multiple RAID controllers:

AFU UPDATE /C <cont_number_a>,<cont_number_b>

Where <controller_number_a> and <controller_number_b> are the

numbers of the Adaptec RAID controllers whose firmware you are updating. For

example, to upgrade controllers 0, 2, and 3, type

AFU UPDATE /C 0, 2, 3

●

To update all RAID controllers simultaneously

AFU UPDATE /C all

Note: The UFI file identifies the RAID controllers, so you don’t have to worry about

flashing the wrong controller.

When prompted, insert the first firmware disk into your floppy disk drive.

The AFU reads the first disk.

8 When prompted, remove the first firmware disk and insert the second firmware disk into

your floppy disk drive.

9 Repeat Step 8 as required until the flash update is complete.
