Appendix D: Using the Adaptec Flash Utility for DOS ● 81

Creating the Firmware Kit On Floppy Disks

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. 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 one UFI file; some have two. Each goes onto its own floppy disk.

Running the AFU

You can run the AFU using:

● Running the Menu-Based AFU(next section)

● Running the AFU from the Command Line on page 82

Running the Menu-Based AFU

The easy way to run the AFU is to use its GUI. If you prefer to run the AFU from the command

line, see Running the AFU from the Command Line on page 82.

To access the 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 the drive connected to the

HostRAID controller you are updating.

Note:

When updating the HostRAID controller flash, controller activity is not possible. Before

you can use the HostRAID controller again, complete the flash operation and restart the

computer.

At the DOS command prompt (typically A:\>) type

AFU,

then press Enter.

The AFU’s main menu is displayed.

3 Select Select Controllers, then select the Adaptec HostRAID controllers to be flashed.

When selecting a single controller, the system automatically selects it. When selecting

multiple controllers, use the spacebar, then press Enter.
