HP IO manual Windows Server environments

2.Expand HP StorageWorks IO Accelerators, and then double-click HP StorageWorks IO Accelerator. The Properties dialog box appears. The Location field shows the bus number for your device (fct8 in the following example).

NOTE: HP assigns bus numbers, which begin at 0. These numbers might or might not reflect the physical location of the bus. For example, the second slot from the edge of the motherboard may be Bus 2, but it might also be Bus 16, or another arbitrary number. Checking Device Manager is one way to confirm the specific bus number for your installation. You can also use IO Accelerator Management Tool to view this number.

Adding a file system, formatting, and performing multi-disk configuration

If you want to use a standard file system such as NTFS, you can create and format partitions using standard disk management utilities.

For example, to initialize the IO Accelerator:

1.From the Start Menu, select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management, and then from the Storage branch of the tree, select Disk Management.

2.Find the IO Accelerator in the list of storage devices, right-click it, and then select Initialize Disk.
