(You can use a disk connected to the controlleryou’re updating.) If your computer isn’t set up to boot from the bootable floppy disk or abootable device other than a disk drive, enter the system setup utility to change the setting.3 Insert the firmware update disk containing AFU.exe4 At the DOS command, if you have multiple controllers and you don’t know the number ofthe controller you want to update, type AFU LIST, then press Enter.

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 thenumbers of the Adaptec RAID controllers whose firmware you are updating. Forexample, to upgrade controllers 0, 2, and 3, type AFU UPDATE /C 0, 2, 3● To update all RAID controllers simultaneously:AFU UPDATE /C allNote: The UFI file identifies the RAID controllers, so you don’t have to worry aboutflashing the wrong controller.7 When prompted, insert the first firmware disk into your floppy disk drive.The AFU reads the first disk.8 When prompted, remove the first firmware disk and insert the second firmware disk intoyour floppy disk drive.9 Repeat Step 8 as required until the flash update is complete.
