Update the flash using the instructions suitable for your
requirements:

To update a single RAID controller
:
AFU UPDATE /C

Where
<cont_number>
is the number of the RAID controller
whose firmware you are updating. For example, to upgrade
Controller 0, type
AFU UPDATE /C 0
●
To update multiple RAID controllers
:
AFU UPDATE /C
<cont_number_a>,<cont_number_b>
Where
<controller_number_a>
and
<controller_number_b>
are the
numbers of the Adaptec RAID controllers whose firmware you
are updating. For example, to upgrade controllers 0, 2, and 3,
type
AFU UPDATE /C 0, 2, 3
●
To update all RAID controllers simultaneously
:
AFU UPDATE /C all
Note:
The UFI file identifies the RAID controllers, so you don’t
have to worry about flashing the wrong controller.
