Running the Menu-based AFU
To run the menu-based AFU:
1. Shut down your operating system and reboot to DOS from a bootable DOS oppy disk or from a DOS
partition on a bootable drive. (You can use a disk drive connected to the controller you are updating.)
If your computer isn’t set up to boot from the bootable oppy disk, enter the system setup utility
and change the setting.
2. Insert the rmware update disk (created using the steps above) containing AFU.exe
3. At the DOS command prompt, type AFU with no arguments.
The AFU's main menu is displayed.
4. Select Select Controllers, then select the Adaptec RAID controller(s) to be ashed.
To update multiple RAID controllers in the same system, update the boot controller's ash rst,
restart the computer, then update the ash for the remaining controllers.
5. Select Select an Operation.
6. Choose the operation you want, then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the task:
• Update ash image—Updates all the ash components on a RAID controller with the ash image
data from the UFI le.
• Save ash image—Reads the contents of a RAID controller's ash components and saves the
data to a UFI le, which you can use to restore a RAID controller's ash if required.
• Verify ash image—Reads the contents of a RAID controller's ash components and compares
it to the contents of the specied UFI le.
• Display ash information—Displays version information about a RAID controller's ash
components.
7. Complete the ash operation and restart your computer before trying to use the RAID controller
again. (You can not use your RAID controller while you are updating its ash.)
The AFU processes the selected command and reports either success or an error message code.
