1 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
1 ATTO Provides Fibre Channel Solutions
The ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel family of storage products provides connectivity, intelligence and scalability.
Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage
networking needs such as switching, backup and data
management. Specifically designed to enhance the
functionality of third party fabric hardware and
software, Celerity FC products are the industry-
leading platform for storage connectivity.
Fibre Channel is a serial communications technology
designed to transfer large amounts of data among a
variety of hardware systems over long distances. It is
a key technology for applications that require shared,
high bandwidth access to storage.
Fibre Channel provides a logical, point-to-point, serial
channel for the transfer of data between a buffer at a
source device and a buffer at a destination device. It
moves buffer contents from one port to another,
without regard to the format or meaning of the data so
different upper level protocols are able to run over
Fibre Channel hardware.
The Fibre Channel architecture is structured as a
hierarchical set of protocol layers. Defined within these
layers are rules for signal interfaces, serial encoding
and decoding, error control, frame format and
communications protocols.
Getting started
In general, to install the ATTO Celerity FC host

13 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
2 Install 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.
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 also contains the latest driver.
The Installation CD automatically starts when inserted
in the system CD-ROM drive. Navigate the easy-to-
use HTML-based menu to find the driver for your
adapter and operating system.
The Celerity FC Installation CD referred to in these
instructions can be the Installation CD shipped with
your adapter, a folder containing the latest
downloaded and expanded driver, or a Celerity FC
installation floppy disk.
