Appendix D: Using the ACU for DOS ● 102
Getting Started
Note: You need a bootable floppy disk to complete this task.
The ACU for DOS runs from a floppy disk which you can create using
the RAID Installation CD that came in your Adaptec RAID controller
kit.
To create the ACU floppy disk:
1 Insert your RAID Installation CD into the CD drive, then browse to
this file:
packages/firmware/ controllermodel / acu.exe
Where controllermodel is the model number of your Adaptec RAID
controller.
2 Insert a bootable floppy disk and copy the acu.exe file to it.
3 Continue either of these two ways:
● Work in the ACU using menus (see below)
● Run the ACU using scripts (see page 103)
Working in the ACU Using Menus
To work in the ACU using menus:
1 Insert the ACU floppy disk (see Getting Started above), then start or
restart your computer.
The computer boots to the DOS command line.
2 Ty pe ACU on the command line, then press Enter.
The ACU is menu-based and instructions for completing tasks
appear on-screen. Menus can be navigated using the arrow, Enter,
Esc, and other keys on your keyboard.
For more information about completing tasks, see Using the ACU to
Create and Manage Arrays on page 92.
