a.If the Celerity FC adapter is replacing another adapter in the system, disconnect the FC cables from the adapter and remove the adapter from the system, or you can move the Celerity FC adapter to the PCI slot that the previous adapter occupied if this slot is more suitable for the Celerity FC adapter.

b.Attach the appropriate FC cables to the Celerity FC adapter.

c.Close the computer chassis, turn on the power and restart Windows.

If you moved the adapter to a different PCI slot, the Found New Hardware Wizard displays. Proceed through the wizard with

the default settings for each adapter channel to complete the installation.

Install a fresh copy of the Windows OS onto a disk attached to the Celerity FC adapter

Note

The Celerity FC driver does not support boot functionality on Itanium systems; therefore, the procedure described below does not apply to Windows Server 2003 for Itanium systems.

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

2Press F6 when the first blue window, called Windows Setup, displays.

The setup program displays a prompt in the status window on the bottom left of the monitor. Setup continues to load files after you press F6.

3A new window displays instructions to specify additional mass storage devices. Press S indicating that you wish to install a storage device.

4Insert the Celerity FC installation diskette in drive A: and press Enter.

5A screen displays a list of Celerity FC adapters. Select your adapter and press Enter.

6Windows Setup loads the files from the floppy and then displays the screen described in step 2. The ATTO Celerity FC device should now be listed as detected.

7Repeat steps 2 - 4 for any other vendor- supplied driver installation disks.

8After 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, a display prompts you to insert the Celerity FC installation disk and any other vendor-supplied disks you used during custom installation. This is normal. The first time you inserted the disks, Windows only loaded the drivers into memory; the second time you insert the disk(s), Windows is copying the driver to your hard disk.
