About the Adaptec Flash Utility

The Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU) is a text-based DOS utility that you can use to update, save, or verify

your RAID controller's rmware.

Caution: Although the AFU contains safeguards to prevent you from accidentally

damaging your RAID controller's ash contents, it is still important to use the AFU

carefully and correctly to avoid rendering your RAID controller inoperable. We

recommend that only advanced users familiar with working in DOS use the AFU. You

can also use maxView Storage Manager to update the controller rmware. See the

maxView Storage Manager User’s Guide for more information.

Which Utility Should I Use?

To create a bootable array, we recommend that you use the BIOS-based ARC utility (See Using the

Adaptec RAID Conguration Utility on page 82).

For subsequent storage management tasks on most supported operating systems, including VMware

Guest OSs, we recommend that you install and use maxView Storage Manager (see About maxView

Storage Manager on page 64). As a full-featured software application with a graphical user interface,

it is the easiest to use and offers the widest range of management functions. For operating systems

that do not support the maxView Storage Manager GUI, such as FreeBSD, use the ARCCONF command

line utility to congure and manage arrays.
