Updating the Flash Using the AFU Command Line
1. Create the rmware update disks (see Creating the Firmware Update Disks on page 79).
2. 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 connected to the controller you’re updating.) If
your computer isn’t set up to boot from the bootable oppy disk or a bootable device other than a
disk drive, enter the system setup utility to change the setting.
3. Insert the rmware update disk containing AFU.exe
4. At the DOS command, if you have multiple controllers and you don’t know the number of the
controller you want to update, type AFU LIST, then press Enter. Otherwise, skip to the next step.
5. At the DOS command, type AFU followed by a command (see AFU Commands on page 81) and any
switches you want.
6. Update the ash using the instructions suitable for your requirements:
• To update a single RAID controller:
AFU UPDATE /C <cont_number>
Where <cont_number> is the number of the RAID controller whose rmware you are updating.
For example, to upgrade Controller 0, type AFU UPDATE /C 0
• To update multiple RAID controllers:
AFU UPDATE /C <cont_number_a>,<cont_number_b>
Where <controller_number_a> and <controller_number_b> are the numbers of the Adaptec RAID
controllers whose rmware you are updating. For example, to upgrade controllers 0, 2, and 3,
type AFU UPDATE /C 0, 2, 3
• To update all RAID controllers simultaneously:
AFU UPDATE /C all
Note: The UFI le identies the RAID controllers, so you don’t have to worry
about ashing the wrong controller.
7. When prompted, insert the rst rmware disk into your oppy disk drive.
The AFU reads the rst disk.
8. When prompted, remove the rst rmware disk and insert the second rmware disk into your oppy
disk drive.
9. Repeat Step 8 as required.
