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.
Term Definition fabric a Fibre Channel switch of two or more Fibre Channel switches interconnected to physically transmit data between any two N_Ports on the switch or switches FC Fibre Channel F_port a port in the Fibre Channel fabric where a N_port may attach FL_port a port in the Fibre Channel fabric where a NL_port may attach in an arbitrated loop frame an indivisible unit for transfer of information in Fibre Channel frame header the first field in the frame containing the address and other
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.
Upgrading an existing Celerity FC driver 1 Log on to Windows as the System Administrator. 2 Insert your Celerity FC Installation Disk and run autorun.bat 3 In Windows Drivers, select your operating system version. 4 Click on Install Driver. Adding a Celerity FC adapter to an existing installation Note Complete this installation procedure before attaching any devices to the adapter. 1 Complete the steps in Updating hardware flash on page 24 to pre-install the driver.
Creating a Celerity FC installation floppy Note You must have a floppy disk with the Celerity FC driver software to install a fresh copy of the Windows OS onto a disk attached to a Celerity FC adapter. 1 Insert the Installation CD into a CD-ROM. The installation starts automatically. Creating a floppy disk from a download 1 Download the latest driver software from the ATTO website, www.attotech.com. 2 The download is a self-extracting executable that expands the driver software package.
