Uninstalling the IO Accelerator driver package

1.Go to Start > Control Panel.

2.Click Administrative Tools.

3.Click Computer Management.

4.In the console tree at the left, click Device Manager.

5.Expand HP IO Accelerators.

6.Right-click an IO Accelerator.

7.Click Uninstall. The Windows® operating system uninstalls the driver.

Disabling AutoAttach

When the IO Accelerator driver is installed, it is configured to automatically attach any devices when the driver is loaded. When necessary, disable the AutoAttach feature.

To disable auto attach:

1.Open the IO Accelerator Utilities folder. The default location is C:\Program Files\HP IO Accelerator\Utils\.

2.Double-click the autoattachdisable.reg file.

3.If necessary, confirm that you want to modify the registry. This creates a new DWORD parameter registry key called AutoAttach in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\fiodrive\Parameters. Your IO Accelerator does not automatically attach the next time you reboot the computer.
