Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU)

The AFU is used to:

■ Update—Updates all the flash components on a controller with

the flash image data from a User Flash Image (UFI) file.

The AFU updates the controller’s flash by reading UFI files and

writing them to the controller’s flash components.

Note: The UFI includes the controller’s type, thereby

ensuring that the AFU uses the correct file.

■

Save

—Reads the contents of a controller’s flash components and

saves the data to a UFI file. This allows you to later restore a

controller’s flash to its previous contents should the need arise.

■ Ve ri f y—Reads the contents of a controller’s flash components

and compares it to the contents of the specified UFI file.

■ Ve rs io n—Displays version information about a controller’s

flash components.

■ List—Lists all supported controllers detected in your system.

The requirements for AFU are as follows:

■ MS–DOS version 5.0 or later. It cannot run from a DOS

command prompt window under any version of Windows.

■ At least 8 MB of extended memory.
