This chapter describes how to use the Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU), a
text-based DOS utility that you can use to update, save, or verify the
HostRAID controller’s firmware BIOS.

Caution:

Although the AFU contains safeguards to prevent you

from accidentally damaging your HostRAID controller’s flash
contents, it is still important to use the AFU carefully and correctly
to avoid rendering your HostRAID controller inoperable.
Adaptec recommends that only advanced users familiar with
working in DOS use the AFU. For more information, see
