Creating Windows installation media
Note
Installation media is required when
performing an installation of Windows to a
hard drive that is controlled by a Celerity FC
host adapter. A floppy is required for
Windows 2000, XP or 2003. Windows 7,
Vista and 2008 can utilize other media such
as removable USB stick. This procedure
does not apply to Itanium systems as the
Celerity FC driver does not support boot
functionality on these systems.
1 Power on your system and log in as the
administrator or a user with proper
administrative priveleges
2 Insert the Installation CD. The ATTO
Installation CD guide should appear. If not,
navigate to the root of the CD and run the
AUTORUN.BAT batch file
3 Click on Windows Drivers.
4 Click on Windows XX Driver link based on the
HBA speed (4Gb or 8Gb) and operating system
(x86, x64 or Itanium) in use. If you are unsure
which version you are using, please contact
your system administrator.
5 Click Install Windows Driver XX next to the
appropriate item to initiate the driver setup
program.
6 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete
the driver installation.
OS X
Note
The ATTO Celerity FC host adapters support
OS X Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger
operating systems. ATTO 8Gb FC adapters
also have EFI boot support on Intel based
systems.
Driver Installation (for all ATTO FC host
adapters)
1 Power on your system and log in as the
administrator or a user with proper
administrative privileges.
2 Insert the Installation CD.
3 After the CD mounts, open the Celerity volume
on the desktop.
4 Open the Drivers folder.
5 Open the folder corresponding to the speed of
the HBA.
6 Open the folder corresponding to the OS X
version in use.
7 Launch the installer package.
8 Follow the on-screen instructions.
Installing a fresh copy of OS X onto a disk
attached to a Celerity FC adapter (only for
8Gb FC adapters)
Note
Boot support is available on Intel-based
systems only.
Note
The EFI boot driver is disabled by default. To
enable it, use the ATTO Configuration Tool in
an existing OS X installation, or use the EFI
Configuration utility built into the EFI driver
(see the procedure below for launching the
utility).
Note
This is a two step process. First step is to
adjust adapter settings with the EFI
Configuration utility. Second step is to install
the OS X onto a disk attached to the adapter.
Please review thoroughly to ensure you are
using the second step corresponding to the
OS X version available in your system .
Adjusting adapter settings with the EFI
Configuration Utility (only for 8Gb FC
adapters)
Note
Depending on your configuration, it may be
necessary to adjust adapter NVRAM
settings prior to performing the OS X
installation. For example, you may need to
modify the connection mode or data rate.
The EFI configuration utility can be launched
from the EFI shell.
