controller again. (You can not use your RAID controller while you are updating its flash.)
Running the IFU from the Command Line
Note:
You can also run a menu-based IFU (see
page 105
).
To run the IFU from the command line:
1
Power off your computer, insert the first IFU floppy disk, then power on your computer.
If your computer isn’t set up to boot from the bootable floppy disk, enter the system setup
utility to change the setting.
2
At the DOS command, type IFU followed by a command (see
page 106
) and any switches
you want.
Note:
To find a controller number, type
IFU LIST
, then press
Enter
.
The IFU processes the command, prompts you to insert additional floppy disks as needed,
exits, and reports either success or an error message code.
To update a RAID controller’s flash using the command line, see
page 109
.
