Appendix E: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility ● 106

Creating the Firmware Floppy Disks

Note: You will need at least two bootable MS-DOS floppy disks to complete this task.

You can’t create a bootable floppy disk using Windows 2000.

To create the firmware floppy disks:

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

● AFU.exe

● Axxxx01.ufi

where xxx is the model number of your controller.

Note:

Most controller model numbers have a suffix (for example Adaptec 4800SAS). Check

that the .ufi file is the correct file for your controller before copying.

Copy each additional Axxxx0x.ufi file to a separate floppy disk. (Some RAID controllers

have two UFI files; some have four. Each goes onto its own floppy disk.)

3 To use a menu-based AFU, see the following section.

To run the AFU from the command line, see page 107.

Running the Menu-based AFU

Note: You can also run the AFU from the command line (see page 107).

To run the menu-based AFU:

1 Shut down your operating system and reboot to DOS from a bootable MS-DOS floppy

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

the controller you are updating.)

2 At the DOS command prompt, type

AFU

with no arguments.

The AFU’s main menu is displayed.

3 Select Select Controllers, then select the Adaptec RAID controller(s) to be flashed.

To update multiple RAID controllers in the same system, update the boot controller’s flash

first, restart the computer, then update the flash for the remaining controllers.

4 Select Select an Operation.

5 Choose the operation you want, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the

task:

● Update—Updates all the flash components on a RAID controller with the flash image

data from the UFI file.

● Save—Reads the contents of a RAID controller’s flash components and saves the data

to a UFI file, which you can use to restore a RAID controller’s flash if required.

● Ve r i f y —Reads the contents of a RAID controller’s flash components and compares it

to the contents of the specified UFI file.

● Ve r s i o n —Displays version information about a RAID controller’s flash components.

● List—Lists all supported RAID controllers detected on your system.
