Installing the A6828A Adapter

Using the Extended Firmware Interface Flash Utility

The EFI utility should be executed from a diskette or CD-ROM. For EFI based systems without a floppy diskette drive, burning the EFI utility and other firmware images onto a CD-ROM allows proper execution, but with reduced functionality. In such a situation, you will not be able to save an image of the flash memory to the CD-ROM.

Preparation

While booting the EFI enabled systems, the diskette or CD-ROM containing the EFI utility needs to be in the drive to allow device mapping. The EFI utility and firmware image files are located in the root directory or in a subdirectory on the diskette or CD-ROM.

Boot the system to the EFI shell prompt. The floppy diskette drive or CD-ROM drive should appear in the list of mapped devices as fs0.

In systems with a floppy drive, type fs0 at the EFI shell prompt to change to this device.

Menu Driven Mode

If the EFI utility and firmware image files are located in the root directory, enter the efi8xxfl command at the prompt as illustrated below; otherwise, move to the directory in which these files are located and continue.

fs0:\> efi8xxfl
