14 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
Note
An EFI shell is not included with Intel Macs.
ATTO recommends rEFIt, which is available
for free from
http://refit.sourceforge.net .
Once you have downloaded the DMG or
rEFIt, follow these steps to open the EFI
Configuration Utility.
1 Burn the rEFIt DMG file to a CD. Do not remove
the CD.
2 Shut down the system and install the Celerity
adapter
3 With the rEFIt CD inserted, boot the system
while pressing and holding ‘C’ key. This will
boot the rEFIt CD.
4 The rEFIt boot menu will appear which contains
a series of icons. Release the ‘C’ key and use
the arrows to highlight the “Start EFI Shell” icon.
Press ‘Return’ to enter the EFI Shell.
5 At the prompt, enter the ‘driver-b’ command.
Scroll through the list of installed EFI drivers
and find the ATTO Celerity driver. There may
be more than one entry based on the number
and type of adapter(s). Note the two or three
digit hexadecimal driver handle on the far left of
the screen.
6 At the prompt, enter ‘drvcfg -s {handle}’ where
{handle} is the hexadecimal number from the
previous step. This will launch the EFI
Configuration Utility for the associated adapter.
7 Use the on-screen menus to configure your
adapter. Help is available at the bottom of the
screen.
8 When exiting the configuration utility, if you
changed any settings, the system will restart
the adapter so the new settings take effect.
9 At the prompt, enter ‘exit’ to return to the rEFIt
boot menu or ‘reset’ to restart the system.
Installing OS X Snow Leopard onto a disk
attached to a Celerity adapter (only for
8Gb FC adapters)
1 Install your Celerity adapter and connect your
storage.
2 If you are launching the OS X installation by
booting the installation DVD:
a. Launch the installation and proceed to the
“Select the disk where you want to install
Mac OS X” screen
b. If you need to partition your disk, open Disk
Utility from the Utilities menu. Once you
partition your disk and exit, the newly
created volume will appear in the installer
window.
3 If you are launching the OS X installation from
an existing OS X installation:
a. If you need to partition disk, open Disk
Utility from /Applications/Utilities. Partition
your disk and exit.
b. Launch the installation DVD and proceed
to the “Select the disk where you want to
install Mac OS X” screen.
4 Select the volume on the disk where you want
to install OS X.
5 Click ‘Install’ and proceed with the rest of OS X
installation.
6 When OS X installation completes, install the
latest Celerity driver from the
ATTO Technology
website .
Installing OS X Leopard or Tiger onto a
disk attached to a Celerity adapter (only
for 8Gb FC adapters)
Note
Due to limitations of the Mac OS X Installer,
two systems are required to complete this
procedure. These will be referred to as the
“target” and “host” systems. The target
system will contain your Celerity adapter and
storage. The host system will only be used
during the installation and must be an Intel-
based system capable of booting the OS X
installation CD. However, it does not have to
be the same type of system as the target
system. For example, you may use a
MacBook Pro to install OS X on a Mac Pro
containing your Celerity adapter. Both
systems must have an available FireWire
port.
1 On the target system, install the Celerity
adapter and connect your storage.
2 Connect the target and host systems with a
FireWire cable.
