and devices. The default setting is Auto, which allows the SAS card to adjust the data transfer rate, as needed. For low-port 5-series RAID controllers (5085, 5405), you can set the PHY rate to 1.5Gb/second or 3.0Gb/second (the maximum rate).

C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility ● 93 Viewing the Event Log The BIOS-based event log records all firmware events, such computer; additionally, once the log is full, new events overwrite old events.

-based utility that you can use to create, configure, and manage arrays. (A BIOS-based ACU is also available. See page 84.) Note: Adaptec recommends that only advanced users familiar with working in DOS use the ACU for DOS utility. For more information, see Managing Your Storage Space on page 59. - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 95
runs from a floppy disk which you can create using the RAID Controller Installation DVD that came in your Adaptec RAID controller kit. To create the ACU floppy disk: 1 Insert your RAID Controller Installation DVD into the DVD drive, then browse to this file: packages/firmware/controllermodel/acu.exe - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 96
Insert the ACU floppy disk (see page 95), then start or restart your computer. The computer boots to the DOS RAID 10, the ACU can't map hot spares assigned to the individual mirror sets in the resulting script file. Instead, the ACU creates a single list for all hot spares assigned to the RAID 10 - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 97
create a script file manually (see the following section). In Record Mode, the ACU writes a RAID controller's existing array configuration to a specified script file, which lets you create . The ACU supports only a subset of available array types. If it encounters an array it can't create, a warning - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 98

immediately, but does not accomplish a Build/ Verify. Parity and mirror information is created as data is written to the disk drive (called full-stripe write mode), which reduces overall array performance. Maximum performance is achieved by starting and completing a Build/Verify. ● Skip Init-If - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 101

Using the AFU Command Line 110 This chapter describes how to use the Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU), a text-based DOS utility that you can use to update, save, or verify the RAID controller's firmware BIOS and NVRAM. ! Caution: Although the AFU contains safeguards to prevent you from accidentally - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 105
controller firmware, go to: ● The RAID Controller Installation DVD-Includes the AFU executable (AFU.exe) and a separate flash image. The flash image may comprise multiple User Flash Image (UFI) files. ● The Adaptec Web site-Download a new firmware file to get the most recent version of firmware/BIOS - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 106
Firmware Update Disks To create the firmware update disks: 1 Copy these files to empty, formatted floppy disks, a USB flash drive, or a writable CD: ● AFU.exe ● Axxxx01.ufi where xxx is the model number of your controller. Note: Most controller model numbers have a suffix (for example Adaptec RAID - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 107
or from a DOS partition on a bootable drive. (You can use a disk connected to the controller you're updating.) If your computer isn't set up to boot from the bootable floppy disk, enter the system setup utility to change the setting. 2 Insert the firmware update disk containing AFU.exe 3 At the DOS - Adaptec 5805 | User Guide - Page 108
