3 Hardware Installation
You need a basic understanding of Fibre Channel before installing the Celerity FC host adapter. Please refer to
Appendix A for a list of related websites.
CAUTION CAUTION
Back up your system data before
changing or installing any hardware.
System requirements
The Celerity FC host adapter package contains the
host adapter, the ATTO Utilities CD and a warranty
and registration card. If any of these items are missing,
contact your ATTO authorized sales representative.
To install and use the Celerity Fibre Channel host
adapter you need:
• A computer with an available PCI, PCI-X or PCI
Express expansion slot
• The complete Celerity FC host adapter package
Fibre Channel address
Celerity FC adapters are configured with a unique
address designated by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineers. The WorldWide Port Name
(WWN) and Node Name are the two components of
the address assigned to Fibre Channel products. This
address, stored in flash memory, allows the system to
recognize the Celerity host adapter as a unique part of
your configuration. The address is clearly marked on
the back of the board for easy identification. Please
keep a reference copy of the number in a safe place or
write in the space provided on this page.
Celerity FC host adapter WWNs are assigned for each
channel. The WWN listed on your host adapter is
assigned to the first channel (1). Sequential WWNs
apply for additional channels.
Installation
CAUTION CAUTION
Celerity FC host adapters contain
components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can

adapter. Please follow standard methods
