The FlasUTIL utility is for offline QLogic 8100 Series Adapters installed in BIOS

Installing FlasUTIL
To install the FlasUTIL utility:
1. Create a DOS-bootable disk or USB removable drive.
2. Download the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter multi-boot image file for your
server model and operating system from http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/
.
3. Extract the multi-boot image file, and copy it to the 3.5-inch disk or USB
removable drive. If your disk has insufficient space, you can delete text files
and .efi files from the multi-boot image before copying the folder.
NOTE:
FlasUTIL is a DOS utility that requires the server to boot in DOS, using
either a DOS disk or a USB removable drive. Do not use the Microsoft
Windows DOS interface to execute these utilities.
Some FlasUTIL features, such as the NVRAM options, are intended only
for QLogic Technical Support and, therefore, are not documented in this
guide.
Do not run this utility from a drive connected to the QLogic 8100 Series
Adapter.
