Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage networking needs such as switching, backup and data management. Specifically designed to enhance the functionality of third party fabric hardware and software, Celerity FC products are the industry-leading platform for storage connectivity. 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. Getting started In general, to install the ATTO Celerity FC host adapter, you must: 1 Ensure you have the equipment and software you need for the installation: • Celerity FC adapter • ATTO Celerity CD including drivers, user manuals and utilities (Installation CD) • A computer with an available expansion slot • Storage, cables and connectors 2 Install drivers from the Installation CD for your operating system. Refer to Install Drivers on page 12. 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 Install the configuration software, the ATTO Configuration Tool, found on the Installation CD. 4 Install the Celerity adapter. Refer to Hardware Installation on page 18. 5 Attach storage. 6 If required, configure your Celerity adapter using the ATTO Configuration Tool. v j-ï1 Note Default settings are appropriate for most systems but you may change settings using the ATTO Configuration Tool. 1 Celerity FC-84EN Adapter The ATTO Celerity FC-84EN leverages two next-generation storage technologies: PCIe 2.0 interconnect and 8-Gigabit Fibre Channel. With 8-Gb FC speeds of up to 1600 MB/sec. per channel, the Celerity FC-84EN supports the most demanding application requirements, including highdefinition video, rich content databases and other high-bandwidth environments. ATTO Celerity host adapters are an integrated family of advanced storage connectivity solutions that are designed to provide reliable connectivity, intelligence and scalability. Technical specifications • 4 independent Fibre Channel ports • 8-Gigabit data transfer rates • 1600 MB/sec. maximum full-duplex throughput per channel • Supports all FC top...
