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.

3 Hardware installation
You need a basic understanding of Fibre Channel before installing the Celerity FC host adapter. Please
refer to
Fibre Channel is a key technology for storage
on page 11 for a list of related websites.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Back up your system data before changing
or installing any hardware.
System requirements
The Celerity FC host adapter package contains the
host adapter, the ATTO Utilities CD and a
warranty and registration card. If any of these
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
• The complete Celerity FC host adapter package
Fibre Channel address
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.
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.

Your Celerity FC host adapter was flashed before shipment, but the flash memory may need to be
updated as new versions become available or if the factory-installed version becomes corrupt. Visit the
ATTO website,
www.attotech.com
, to download the latest drivers and flash bundle.
Hardware flash memory may need to be updated
as new versions become available or if the
factory-installed version becomes corrupt.
Updating flash in all operating systems
