Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU)
The AFU is used to:
■ Update —Updates all the flash components on a controller with
the flash image data from a User Flash Image (UFI) file.
The AFU updates the controller’s flash by reading UFI files and
writing them to the controller’s flash components.
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.
