3 Installing and updating drivers
Before installing your Celerity adapter, you must configure your system to recognize and use it by installing drivers for your operating system.
Configure your system to recognize and use your Celerity adapter by
•installing drivers for your operating system
•updating the adapter firmware if necessary (refer to Updating hardware flash on page 22)
Note
If you already have one or more Celerity adapters installed 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.
ATTO Celerity adapters ship with the latest firmware installed.
The Celerity FC Installation CD shipped with your adapter contains the latest driver.
The Installation CD automatically starts when inserted in the system
If the CD does not automatically start, open the CD and click on autorun.bat.
Specialized configurations
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.
Verify the version based on your operating system.
Windows: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool from the ATTO Utilities CD, or download it from www.attotech.com, or view the adapter boot string during system boot or look in 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 download it from www.attotech.com, or use the Apple System Profiler.
Linux: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool on the ATTO Utilities CD, or download it from www.attotech.com, or to find the driver version, examine /proc/scsi/celerityfc/X, where X is the adapter’s host number.
