B DOS Utilities In this Appendix... Using the Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU) Using the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) B-1 B-11 Using the Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU) The Adaptec® Flash Utility (AFU) is a DOS application used to update the flash EEPROM components on one or more Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers. The utility can also be used to verify a controller's current flash contents against the flash images in a specified file or to save a controller's current flash contents to a file. Your Adaptec RAID controller uses nonvolatile flash to store onboard software, such as BIOS, microprocessor kernel, and monitor. Whenever it becomes necessary to update any of those components you can update your controller's flash components using the AFU. AFU updates the controller's flash by reading flash image data from a supplied User Flash Image (UFI) file and writing it to the controller's flash components. A UFI file contains all of a controller's flash images, as well as information about each image. It also includes general controller information, such as controller type, to ensure that AFU uses the correct UFI file when updating the controller's flash. B-1
