Starting the Host Adapter Flash Utility

The utility’s executable name is

mptutil.exe

. This utility requires the

DOS extender,

dos4gw.exe

, to operate. LSI strongly recommends that

you copy both files to a DOS bootable diskette and execute the utility
from this diskette. Either MS-DOS or PC-DOS is acceptable. No memory
manager or other drivers beyond the minimum required should be
installed via the

config.sys

file. The utility can optionally be executed

from a hard drive. However, the drive should not be connected to an
adapter board that you are updating, and the DOS4GW extender should
reside in the same directory as the

mptutil.exe

executable file.

Note:

The host adapter must have an onboard flash in order to
use this utility.

Follow these steps to start the Host Adapter Flash Utility:

1.

Insert the diskette into drive A:.

2.

Boot the system to the DOS prompt a:\>.

3.

Type

mputil

and press Enter.

DOS4GW will be loaded automatically if it is located in the same
directory as the utility or is in the defined path. The main menu
appears, as shown in

Figure 5.1
