Updating Flash Using AFU Command Line
This section provides step-by step instructions for updating the flash.

If your computer isn’t set up to boot from the bootable floppy disk, enter the system setup
utility to change the setting.

the controller you want to update, type
AFU LIST
, then press Enter. Otherwise, skip to the
next step.

you want.
