4 Configuring and updating drivers
Celerity FC host adapters require a current device driver and hardware flash for proper operation.
Your adapter was properly flashed before shipment, but the flash memory may need to be updated as
new versions become available or if the factory-installed version becomes corrupt. This chapter deals
with installing and updating device drivers. Refer to
on page 22 for
information on updating hardware flash. Visit the ATTO
latest drivers and flash bundle.
Initial configuration
While the factory settings on your Celerity FC
host adapter should provide excellent
performance for a wide range of applications,
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.
To verify the version:
Windows: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool
from the ATTO Utilities CD, or downloaded from
or use a combination of the
adapter boot string during system boot and 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 downloaded from
use the Apple System
Profiler.
Linux: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool on the
ATTO Utilities CD, or downloaded from
to find the driver version,
examine /proc/scsi/celerityfc/X, where X is the
adapter’s host number.
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003
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.
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, use Explorer and run
autorun.bat.
