In Windows, for example, three directories should be visible in the kit's root directory
after you extract the standalone utility. The top level “boot” directory and “firmware”
directory are the default directories in which elxflash looks for firmware and boot code
images. Ensure that firmware and boot code are located in these directories.
# dir

The Offline Adapter Standalone Management utility has the same dependencies as the
offline utility. See “Platform Prerequisites” on page 459.
Note: There are no update or uninstall procedures for the Offline Adapter Standalone
Management utility. When a new version is available, you extract it, replacing
the older version.
