Celerity FC-22XH
The Celerity FC-22XH is a Fibre Channel storage
adapter which uses embedded hub technology to
provide four external connections to two
independent FC channels. The hub technology
helps simplify SAN fabric design and provides
more capabilities than found in a typical adapter.
The FC-22XH allows you to solve cost and
configuration issues in workgroup and complex
SAN designs. Several users may share Fibre
Channel connections to maximize the value of
each channel without the added expense of using
additional adapters or PCI expansion slots. The
FC-22XH design provides reduced total cost of
ownership (TCO).
These capabilities are provided without
sacrificing link quality. The onboard hub digitally
retimes all signals to reduce jitter (poor signal
quality) to attached devices. Port bypass circuitry
automatically detours around unused or
malfunctioning ports.
Hardware specifications
• Four external ports connect to two independent
FC channels
• 2.125-Gigabit data transfer rates per channel

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 storage adapter.
Please refer to
Fibre Channel is a key technology for storage
on page 9 for a list of related web sites.
CAUTIONCAUTION
Back up your system data before
changing or installing any hardware.
System requirements
The Celerity FC storage adapter package contains
the storage 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
storage adapter you need
• A computer with an available PCI, PCI-X or PCI-
Express expansion slot.
• The complete Celerity FC storage 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 Storage 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 storage adapter WWNs are assigned
for each channel. The WWN listed on your
storage adapter is assigned to the first channel (0).
Sequential WWNs apply for additional channels.

Installation
CAUTIONCAUTION
Celerity FC storage adapters contain
components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can
cause damage to the Celerity FC storage
adapter. Please follow standard methods
to avoid ESD.
1 Power down the computer and unplug the
computer from all power sources.
2 Open the case.
3
Install the Celerity FC storage 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.
Note
The Celerity FC-22XH, Celerity FC-24XL,
Celerity FC-41XS, and Celerity FC-42XS
storage adapters only fit in 3.3V slots.
The Celerity FC-44ES and FC-42ES fit in 8x
or 16x 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.
4 Connect Fibre Channel devices by inserting a
Fibre Channel cable from the devices to the
connectors on the Celerity FC storage adapter
until you hear a click.
5 Close the case on the computer and power it
up.

4 Configuring and updating drivers
Celerity FC storage adapters require a current device driver and hardware flash for proper operation.
Your adapter was properly 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. This chapter deals
with installing and updating device drivers. Refer to
information on updating hardware flash. Visit the ATTO web site, www.attotech.com, to download the
latest drivers and flash bundle.
Initial configuration
Updating hardware flash
on page 24 for
While the factory settings on your Celerity FC
storage adapter should provide excellent
performance for a wide range of applications,
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.
To verify the version:

Five procedures are described below. Review
each thoroughly to ensure that you are using the
one that best fits your needs.
If you have one or more Celerity FC adapters
installed in your system 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.The

Note
Complete this installation procedure before
attaching any devices to the adapter.
1 Complete the steps in Upgrading your existing
Celerity FC driver on page 21 to pre-install the
driver.
2 Shutdown Windows when Setup prompts you
to do so.
3 Install your new Celerity FC adapter into an
available PCI expansion slot.
4 Restart Windows. During the boot process,
Windows detects your Celerity FC adapter and
the Found New Hardware Wizard is
displayed.
5 Use the default settings for each adapter
channel.
6 Insert the Celerity FC Installation disk when
asked to do so.
7 When adapter installation is complete, the
Found New Hardware Wizard displays an
ATTO Phantom Device for each channel. Use
the wizard default settings to complete the
installation.
8 Shut down the system and set up the final
adapter configuration.
a. If the Celerity FC adapter is replacing
another adapter in the system,
disconnect the FC cables from the
adapter and remove the adapter from
the system, or you can move the
Celerity FC adapter to the PCI slot that
the previous adapter occupied if this
slot is more suitable for the Celerity FC
adapter.
b. Attach the appropriate FC cables to the
Celerity FC adapter.
c. Close the computer chassis, turn on
the power and restart Windows.
Note
If you moved the adapter to a different PCI
slot, the

disk attached to the Celerity FC adapter
Note
The Celerity FC driver does not support boot
functionality on Itanium systems; therefore,
the procedure described below does not
apply to Windows Server 2003 for Itanium
systems.
1 Start Windows text mode setup as per the
instructions provided with Windows.
2 Press F6 when the first blue window, called
Windows Setup, displays.

additional mass storage devices. Press S
indicating that you wish to install a storage
device.
4 Insert the Celerity FC installation diskette in
drive A: and press Enter.
5 A screen displays a list of Celerity FC adapters.
Select your adapter and press Enter.
6 Windows Setup loads the files from the floppy
and then displays the screen described in step
2. The ATTO Celerity FC device should now
be listed as detected.
7 Repeat steps 2 - 4 for any other vendor-
supplied driver installation disks.
8 After all other drivers have been processed,
press Enter and proceed with the rest of the
Windows Installation procedure.
Note
When Windows begins copying files to your
hard disk, a display prompts you to insert the
Celerity FC installation disk and any other
vendor-supplied disks you used during
custom installation. This is normal. The first
time you inserted the disks, Windows only
loaded the drivers into memory; the second
time you insert the disk(s), Windows is
copying the driver to your hard disk.
