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

Managing Your Storage Space on page 36.
