13 ATTO Technology Inc. Celerity FC Host Adapters Installation and Operation Manual
3 Installing and updating 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
• updating the adapter firmware if necessary (refer
to Updating hardware flash
on page 24)
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 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 that you want to install.
If the CD does not automatically start, open the
CD and click on
autorun.bat
.
Specialized configurations
Some specialized applications may benefit from
modification of adapter settings. The ATTO
Utilities Installation and Operation Manual
provides detailed information on using ATTO
Technology configuration utilities found on the

most recent device driver and flash version.
Verify the version based on your operating
system.
