D.5 Updating the Flash Using the AFU Command Line
1. Create the rmware update disk (see Creating the Firmware Update Disk rmware creating oppy
disksoppy disks for rmware update).
2. Shut down your operating system and reboot to DOS 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
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) 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 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 rmware disk.
The AFU processes the command and reports either success or an error message code.
