This chapter describes the Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU) and explains how to update, save, and
verify the SATA/SAS controller’s BIOS.
Caution:
Although the AFU contains safeguards to prevent from accidentally damaging the
SATA/SAS controller’s flash contents, it is important to use the AFU carefully to avoid rendering
your SATA/SAS controller inoperable. Adaptec recommends that only the advance user must
use the AFU.
