Expand HP StorageWorks IO Accelerators, and then double-click HP StorageWorks IO Accelerator. The
Properties dialog box appears. The Location field shows the bus number for your device (fct8 in the
following example).
NOTE: HP assigns bus numbers, which begin at 0. These numbers might or might not reflect the
physical location of the bus. For example, the second slot from the edge of the motherboard may
be Bus 2, but it might also be Bus 16, or another arbitrary number. Checking Device Manager is
one way to confirm the specific bus number for your installation. You can also use IO Accelerator
Management Tool to view this number.
Adding a file system, formatting, and performing
multi-disk configuration
If you want to use a standard file system such as NTFS, you can create and format partitions using standard
disk management utilities.
For example, to initialize the IO Accelerator:
1. From the Start Menu, select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management, and then
from the Storage branch of the tree, select Disk Management.
2. Find the IO Accelerator in the list of storage devices, right-click it, and then select Initialize Disk.
