This Appendix 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.
