12 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual

2 Install Drivers

Before installing your Celerity adapter, you must configure your system to recognize and use it by installing drivers
for your operating system.

Configure your system to recognize and use your
Celerity adapter by installing drivers for your operating
system.

Note

If you already have one or more Celerity
adapters installed and you are installing
additional adapter(s), you do not need to
perform any of these procedures unless you
are updating a previously installed driver.

ATTO Celerity adapters ship with the latest firmware
installed. The Celerity FC Installation CD shipped with
your adapter also contains the latest driver.
The Installation CD automatically starts when inserted
in the system CD-ROM drive. Navigate the easy-to-
use HTML-based menu to find the driver for your
adapter and operating system.
The Celerity FC Installation CD referred to in these
instructions can be the Installation CD shipped with
your adapter, a folder containing the latest
downloaded and expanded driver, a Celerity FC
installation floppy disk, or a USB flash drive.

Windows

Note

Windows 7, Vista and 2008 may utilize a new
User Account Control Feature. Because of
this there may be additional confirmations
that will need to be performed to properly
install the driver. These confirmations
normally consist of a dialog where the user
has to give Windows permission to perform
an action. If you do not have the correct
priviliges during this, you will be prompted for
an actual user name and password. You may
need to contact your system administrator if
you do not have this information.
