If you have multiple HostRAID controllers only—At the DOS prompt, type

afu list,

then press Enter.

This command displays the Adaptec SAS HostRAID controllers in your system. Note the
HostRAID controller number for the controller you want to update; you may need it in
Step 6 to perform the update.

You can update the flash using any of the following alternatives:

a

Updating the Flash on a Single HostRAID Controller—To flash the firmware on a
single HostRAID controller, type:

afu update /C <controller_number>

Where

controller_number

is the number of the controller whose firmware you are

updating. For example, to upgrade Controller 0, type:

afu update /C 0

b

Updating the Flash on Multiple Controllers—To flash the firmware on multiple
HostRAID controllers, type:

afu update /C <controller_number_a>,<controller_number_b>

Where

<controller_number_a>

and

<controller_number_b>

are the number of one

of the Adaptec HostRAID controllers whose firmware you are updating.

To upgrade HostRAID controllers 0, 2, and 3 for example, type:

afu update /C 0, 2, 3

c

Updating the Flash on All HostRAID Controllers Simultaneously—To flash the
firmware on all HostRAID controllers, type:

afu update /C all

Note:

The UFI file identifies the appropriate HostRAID controllers, so you do not

have to worry about flashing the wrong controller.

7

The AFU prompts you to put in the first firmware disk.

When it detects that the disk is in the drive, the AFU reads the part of the firmware image
contained on the first disk.

8

When prompted, remove the first firmware disk and insert the second firmware disk.

9

If necessary, repeat

Step 8

until the process is complete.
