that expands the driver software package. Run
the self-extracting executable and select a
folder in which to place the expanded software
package.
The expanded software package contains a
Miniport driver and may contain a StorPort
driver. The Celerity FC Windows Miniport driver

software package. The Celerity FC Windows
StorPort driver is in the StorPort subdirectory.

banner displays that the host adapter was
detected.
