Disabling AutoAttach

When the IO Accelerator driver is installed, it is configured to automatically attach any devices when the

driver is loaded. When necessary, disable the AutoAttach feature.
To disable auto attach:

1.

Open the IO Accelerator Utilities folder. The default location is C:\Program Files\HP IO

Accelerator\Utils\.

2.

Double-click the autoattachdisable.reg file.

3.

If necessary, confirm that you want to modify the registry. This creates a new DWORD parameter registry

key called AutoAttach in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\fiodrive\Parameters.
Your IO Accelerator does not automatically attach the next time you reboot the computer.
