Updating hardware flash
Your RedPort host 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. Visit the
ATTO website, www.attotech.com, to download the latest drivers and flash bundle.
To update hardware flash in all operating systems
1. Download the most recent version of the Configuration Tool from the ATTO web site,
www.attotech.com. Refer to the ATTO Utilities Installation and Operation Manual for additional
information on downloading and using the Configuration Tool.
2. Download the proper flash bundle (for the Celerity FC-42ES) from the ATTO web site.
3. Extract these files to your desktop.
4. Install the Configuration Tool on your system.
5. Launch the Configuration Tool.
6. In the Device window, select the adapter that needs to be updated.
7. In the Flash window, click on the Browse button to find the flash bundle that you previously
downloaded to your desktop.
8. Click Update to update your flash ROM.
9. Reboot your system for the flash changes to take effect.
To update hardware flash on a PC using the BIOS utilities
1. Download the latest driver software from the ATTO
Technology website (use model Celerity FC-42ES).
2. The download is a self-extracting executable that
expands the driver software package. Run the self-
extracting executable and select a folder in which to
place the expanded software package. The expanded software package contains a Miniport
driver and may contain a StorPort driver. The Celerity FC Windows Miniport driver is in the base
directory of the expanded software package. The Celerity FC Windows StorPort driver is in the
StorPort subdirectory.
3. Navigate to the folder containing the driver.
4. Run makedisk.bat and follow the instructions for creating the floppy disk. Note: The flash update
must be loaded from a floppy because CD-ROM drivers are not loaded at this point in the system
boot process.
5. Reboot the PC.
6. During reboot, an ATTO Technology banner displays that the host adapter was detected.
7. Enter Control-F when prompted to begin the setup utility within a few seconds after the banner
appears. If you do not enter Control-F soon enough after the banner appears, repeat steps 5 & 6.
8. In the utility, select the Upgrade Flash ROM option.
9. Insert the disk into the drive slot.
10. Follow the on-screen instructions.
11. Remove the disk and reboot your system for the flash ROM changes to take effect
