Adding a Celerity FC adapter to an existing
Windows installation
Note
Complete this installation procedure before
attaching any devices to the adapter.
1 Complete the steps in Upgrading your existing
Celerity FC driver on page 19 to pre-install the
driver.
2 Shutdown Windows when Setup prompts you
to do so.
3 Install your new Celerity FC adapter into an
available PCI expansion slot.
4 Restart Windows. During the boot process,
Windows detects your Celerity FC adapter and
the Found New Hardware Wizard is
displayed.
5 Use the default settings for each adapter
channel.
6 Insert the Celerity FC Installation disk when
asked to do so.
7 When adapter installation is complete, the
Found New Hardware Wizard displays an
ATTO Phantom Device for each channel. Use
the wizard default settings to complete the
installation.
8 Shut down the system and set up the final
adapter configuration.
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.
Note
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.
1 Start Windows text mode setup as per the
instructions provided with Windows.
2 Press 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.
3 A new window displays instructions to specify
additional mass storage devices. Press S
indicating that you wish to install a storage
device.
4 Insert the Celerity FC installation diskette in
drive A: and press Enter.
5 A screen displays a list of Celerity FC adapters.
Select your adapter and press Enter.
6 Windows 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.
7 Repeat steps 2 - 4 for any other vendor-
supplied driver installation disks.
8 After 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.
