Appendix C: Using the AFU for DOS 66

5If you have multiple HostRAID controllers only—At the DOS prompt, type afu list, then press Enter.

This command displays the Adaptec SATA 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.

6You can update the flash using any of the following alternatives:

aUpdating 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

bUpdating 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

cUpdating 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.

7The 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.

8When prompted, remove the first firmware disk and insert the second firmware disk.

9If necessary, repeat Step 8 until the process is complete.
