Note: The UFI includes the controller's type, thereby ensuring that the AFU uses the correct file. ■ Save-Reads the contents of a controller's flash components and saves the data to a UFI file. This allows you to later restore a controller's flash to its previous contents should the need arise. ■ Verify-Reads the contents of a controller's flash components and compares it to the contents of the specified UFI file. ■ Version-Displays version information about a controller's flash components. ■ List-Lists all supported controllers detected in your system.
