controller’s BIOS.

System Requirements

The following are the requirements of AFU:

● MS–DOS version 5.0 or later. It cannot run from a DOS command prompt window.

● At least 8 MB of extended memory.

Compatibility Information

DOS4GW.

Before You Begin

Before running the AFU, the following tasks must be completed.

● Obtaining the BIOS Kit

● Creating the BIOS Kit on Floppy Disks

Obtaining the BIOS Kit

The SATA/SAS controller BIOS can be acquired on any one of the following:

● SATA/SAS Installation CD—Contains the AFU executable (AFU.exe) and a separate flash

image. The flash image may comprise multiple User Flash Image (UFI) files.

● Adaptec Web site (www.adaptec.com)—Go to this website to download the updated

version of AFU.

Creating the BIOS Kit on Floppy Disks

To create the BIOS Kit floppy disks:

1 Create a bootable MS–DOS floppy disk and copy these files to it:

● AFU.exe

● ASxxxx01.ufi

where xxxx is the model number of the controller.

Note:

Most of the controller model numbers have a suffix. Before copying, check if the

appropriate .ufi file is used.
