AFU Commands
This section lists the available AFU commands.
List
Displays the AFU-supported RAID controllers installed on your computer. Also displays the ID numbers
assigned to each controller.
You don’t have to restart the computer after completing this command.
This example shows a typical system response to a LIST command:
A:\> AFU LIST
Adaptec Flash Utility V4.0-0 B5749 (c)Adaptec Inc. 1999–2005.
All Rights Reserved.
Controllers Detected and Recognized:
Controller #0 (03:05:00) Adaptec RAID 51645
Save
Saves the contents of a RAID controller's ash in a UFI le. The name of the UFI le is based on the
controller type and can't be changed.
You must restart the computer following a SAVE command.
The command syntax for the SAVE command is:
AFU SAVE [/C<Controller ID>] [/D <UFI File Path>]
These switches are available:
• /C <Controller ID>—One or more RAID controller IDs representing the set of RAID controllers on
which to perform the specied command. The default is 0; if the computer has multiple RAID
controllers, the AFU defaults to controller 0 unless you specify otherwise.
For example:
To specify a single RAID controller ID: /C 0
To specify multiple IDs separated by commas: /C 0,2
To indicate all RAID controllers:ALL
If you are using multiple RAID controllers, you must specify the controller you want by using the /C
switch; otherwise, the AFU displays an error message and exits.
• /D <UFI File Path>—Species the path where the UFI les are located. If you do not specify the /D
switch, the AFU looks for (or creates) its UFI les in the default location.
You cannot specify the name of a UFI le, only its path. UFI lenames are predened, based on the
RAID controller type.
In this example, the AFU saves ash contents from RAID controller 0 to a UFI le in the current
default drive and directory:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 0
In this example, the AFU saves ash contents from Controller 1 to a UFI le in C:\UFI_FILES:
A:\> AFU SAVE /C 1 /D C:\UFI_FILES
Update
Updates the ash components of one or more RAID controllers on your computer from the ash image
data in a UFI le. You must restart the computer following an UPDATE command.
The command syntax for the UPDATE command is:
AFU UPDATE [/C<Controller ID>] [/D <UFI File Path>]
This example shows a typical system response after an update.
