The AFU can run from a partition on a drive or array attached
I
to the controller you are updating. Once the flash update
begins, no I/O is possible to any array attached to that
controller until the flash operation is completed and the system
is restarted.
If you want to update multiple controllers in the same system,
I
you should first update the boot controller's flash, restart the
system, and then update the flash for any remaining controllers.
Firmware Floppy Disk Kit
Controller firmware is available on Adaptec installation CD, or from
www.adaptec.com
The CD includes the AFU executable AFU.exe, the corresponding
documentation, and a separate flash image. The flash image may
be comprised of multiple UFI files.
To create a controller firmware kit on floppy disks:
1 Locate the necessary files on the Adaptec installation CD at:
packages/firmware/adp
where xxx is the model number of your controller.
2 Create a bootable MS–DOS floppy disk and copy the following
files to this disk:
I
AFU.exe
I
AAxxx01.ufi
where xxx is the model number of your controller.
3 Copy the remaining UFI files to additional disks.
