ATTO Technology Re-flashing Firmware in Windows, Linux and Sun Solaris Driver Installation

To install a new copy of Windows NT onto a SCSI disk attached to your ExpressPCI adapter.

1Start Windows NT text mode setup as per the instructions provided with Windows NT.

2Press F6 when the first blue window, Windows NT Setup, appears. Setup will continue to load files.

3After loading the setup files, you will be given several choices. Press Enter to install Windows.

4From the list of devices detected by Windows, press S.

5Choose Other to install the ExpressPCI driver and any other drivers for which you have OEM- supplied installation disks.

6Insert the ExpressPCI installation diskette in drive A:

7Press Enter

8Windows should load the driver, detect the presence of the ExpressPCI adapter, then return to the screen of step 3. The ExpressPCI driver should now be included in the list of devices. Repeat steps 3 - 8 for any other vendor-supplied driver installation disks.

9After all other drivers have been processed, press Enter and proceed with the rest of the Windows Installation procedure.

NOTE When Windows begins copying files to your hard disk, you will be prompted to insert the ExpressPCI installation disk and any other vendor-supplied disks you used during custom installation. This is normal. The first time you inserted the disks, Windows loaded the drivers into memory; the second time, Windows copied the driver to the hard disk.

Re-flashing Firmware in Windows

ATTO typically releases adapter firmware and drivers simultaneously. We recommend that both the firmware and drivers be updated to ensure proper operation.

To re-flash the firmware to the latest version:

1Obtain the latest firmware from the ATTO web site www.attotech.com.

2Extract the firmware to a floppy disk by executing the self-extracting file.

3Reboot the PC.

4An ATTO Technology banner will announce that the host adapter was detected. Enter Control-Zwhen prompted to begin the setup utility.

5Select the Upgrade Flash ROM option and insert the disk into the drive slot.

6Follow the on-line instructions.

7Remove the disk and reboot the PC.

NOTE Firmware must be loaded from a floppy or from the internal hard drive because the CD-ROM drivers are not loaded at this point in the system boot process.

To re-flash the firmware to the latest version for Ultra320 adapters:

The ATTO ExpressPCI Configuration Tool, available on the ATTO web site, www.attotech.com/software/index.html, will verify drivers and firmware versions and attempt to flash. Instructions for using this utility are provided as part of the download process.

Linux and Sun Solaris Driver Installation

ATTO offers Linux and Sun Solaris drivers which are compatible with the ExpressPCI host adapters. A complete download package, including all necessary installation instructions, is available on

the ExpressPCI Utilities CD-ROM or directly from the ATTO Technology web site, www.attotech.com. Please refer to these documents for installation instructions.
