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

3 Installing and updating 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
• updating the adapter firmware if necessary (refer

to

Updating hardware flash

on page 22)

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 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 that you want to install.
If the CD does not automatically start, open the
CD and click on autorun.bat.

Specialized configurations

Some specialized applications may benefit from
modification of adapter settings. The ATTO
Utilities Installation and Operation Manual
provides detailed information on using ATTO
Technology configuration utilities found on the
ATTO Utilities CD or downloaded from the
ATTO website. For best performance, use the
most recent device driver and flash version.
Verify the version based on your operating
system.
Windows: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool
from the ATTO Utilities CD, or download it from

www.attotech.com

, or view the adapter boot

string during system boot or look in the Device
Manager
.

Note

Windows NT is only supported with Celerity
driver version 1.31 or earlier. If you are using
Windows NT, contact your service
representative.

Mac OS X: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool on
the ATTO Utilities CD, or download it from

www.attotech.com,

or use the Apple System

Profiler.
Linux: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool on the
ATTO Utilities CD, or download it from

www.attotech.com

, or to find the driver version,

examine /proc/scsi/celerityfc/X, where X is the
adapter’s host number.

Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista

Five procedures are described below. Review
each thoroughly to ensure that you are using the
one that best fits your needs. If you have one or
more Celerity FC adapters installed in your
system 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.
The Celerity FC Installation Disk can be the
Installation CD shipped with your adapter, a
folder containing the latest downloaded and
expanded driver, or a Celerity FC installation
floppy disk.
