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.
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.
