Creating the Firmware Kit On Floppy Disks

To create the firmware floppy disks:

1

Create a bootable MS–DOS floppy disk and copy these files to it:

●

AFU.exe

●

Axxxx01.ufi

where xxx is the model number of your controller.

Note: 

Most controller model numbers have a suffix. Check that the .ufi file is the correct file for 

your controller before copying.

2

Copy each additional Axxxx0x.ufi file to a separate floppy disk. (Some RAID controllers 
have one UFI file; some have two. Each goes onto its own floppy disk.

Running the AFU

You can run the AFU using:

Running the Menu-Based AFU

The easy way to run the AFU is to use its GUI. If you prefer to run the AFU from the command 
line, see 

.

To access the AFU:

1

Shut down your operating system and reboot to DOS from a bootable MS-DOS floppy 
disk or from a DOS partition on a bootable drive. You can use the drive connected to the 
HostRAID controller you are updating.

Note: 

When updating the HostRAID controller flash, controller activity is not possible. Before 

you can use the HostRAID controller again, complete the flash operation and restart the 
computer.

2

At the DOS command prompt (typically A:\>) type 

AFU,

 then press Enter. 

The AFU’s main menu is displayed.

3

Select Select Controllers, then select the Adaptec HostRAID controllers to be flashed. 
When selecting a single controller, the system automatically selects it. When selecting 
multiple controllers, use the spacebar, then press Enter.
