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 RAID controller’s firmware BIOS and NVRAM.

!Caution: Although the AFU contains safeguards to prevent you from accidentally damaging your RAID controller’s flash contents, it is still important to use the AFU carefully and

correctly to avoid rendering your RAID controller inoperable. We recommend that only advanced users familiar with working in DOS use the AFU. For more information, see Managing Your Storage Space on page 79.
