The IO Accelerator installation packages include various command line utilities, installed by default to the
C:\Program Files\HP IO Accelerator\Utils folder. These utilities provide a number of useful
manners to access, test, and manipulate your device.
Utility Purpose

fio-beacon Lights the IO Accelerator external LEDs
fio-bugreport Prepares a detailed report for use in troubleshooting issues
fio-config Enables configuration parameters for device operation
fio-detach Temporarily removes an IO Accelerator from OS access

NOTE: All utilities have –h (Help) and –v (Version) options.
NOTE: To run these utilities from a command line using Windows Server®, you must either
change directories to the directory that contains them (by default, C:\Program Files\HP IO
Accelerator\Utils) or add that directory to your system path. See the documentation for
your Windows® version for information about adding a directory to the system path.
NOTE: The command-line utilities require administrator rights to run under Windows® operating
systems. Right-click the Command Prompt menu item and select Run as administrator.
fio-attach
Description
Attaches the IO Accelerator device and makes it available to Windows® operating systems. You can then
partition the IO Accelerator device, or set it up as part of a RAID array, using the Windows® Disk
Management utility. This command displays a progress bar and percentage as it completes the attach
process.
In most cases, the driver automatically attaches the device when loading and does a scan. You only need to
run fio-attach if you ran fio-detach or if you set the auto_attach parameter to 0.
