2 Fibre Channel is a key technology for storage  
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.  
Glossary  
Some terms used in the Fibre Channel industry are defined below. More information is available through

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  
ATTO Celerity adapters ship with the latest  
firmware installed.  
installing drivers for your operating system  
updating the adapter firmware if necessary (refer  
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.  
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.  
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  
ATTO Utilities CD or downloaded from the  
ATTO website. For best performance, use the  
most recent device driver and flash version.  
Note  
Windows NT is only supported with Celerity  
driver version 1.31 or earlier. If you are using  
Windows NT, contact your service  
representative.  
Mac OS X: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool on  
the ATTO Utilities CD, or download it from  
www.attotech.com, or use the Apple System  
Profiler.  
Verify the version based on your operating  
system.  
Linux: Use the ATTO Configuration Tool on the  
ATTO Utilities CD, or download it from  
www.attotech.com, or to find the driver version,  
examine /proc/scsi/celerityfc/X, where

items are missing, contact your ATTO authorized  
sales representative.  
To install and use the Celerity Fibre Channel host  
adapter you need  
A computer with an available PCI, PCI-X or PCI  
Express expansion slot

Open the case.  
Install the Celerity FC host adapter in any open  
PCI, PCI-X or PCI Express expansion slot. If  
you have questions about how to install an  
expansion card in your system, consult your  
computer’s documentation.  
Celerity FC adapters are configured with a unique  
address designated by the Institute of Electrical  
and Electronic Engineers. The WorldWide Port  
Name (WWN) and Node Name are the two  
components of the address assigned to Fibre  
Channel products. This address, stored in flash  
memory, allows the system to recognize the  
Celerity host adapter as a unique part of your  
configuration. The address is clearly marked on  
the back of the board for easy identification.  
Please keep a reference copy of the number in a  
safe place or write in the space provided on this  
page.  
Drawings of Celerity brackets begin on page 18  
and drawings of boards begin on page 20.  
Note  
The Celerity FC-41XS, and FC-42XS host  
adapters only fit in 3.3V slots.  
The Celerity FC-42ES, FC-41ES, FC-41EN  
and FC-42EN fit into x4, x8, or x16 mechanical  
PCI Express slots.  
If you have trouble seating your adapter in a 32-  
bit PCI bus computer, check to make sure the  
connector can accommodate 64-bit host  
adapters.  
Celerity FC host adapter WWNs are assigned for  
each channel. The WWN listed on your host  
adapter is assigned to the first channel (0).  
Sequential WWNs apply for additional channels.

devices are still not accessible, contact an  
authorized ATTO representative.  
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista  
If the card has been recently re-flashed, the new  
Windows driver must be installed. Follow the  
Procedures vary greatly: refer to the manual  
supplied with your system or call the computer  
supplier for configuration assistance.  
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista are Plug-  
n-Play operating systems: be sure your  
computer’s BIOS is set accordingly.  
All of the external devices connected to the host  
adapter should be identified. If they do not  
appear in the Device Manager, the external  
devices or connection may not be working  
properly.  
If these do not solve the problem, re-flash the  
host adapter and re-install the Windows  
2000/XP/Server 2003/Vista driver. See  
For Intel-based PCs, check the computer CMOS  
setup and verify that the PCI slots are configured  
correctly.
