Creating Windows installation media
Note
Installation media is required when
performing an installation of Windows to a
hard drive that is controlled by a Celerity FC
host adapter. A floppy is required for
Windows 2000, XP or 2003. Windows 8, 7,
Vista, Server 2012 and 2008 can utilize other
media such as removable USB stick. This
procedure does not apply to Itanium systems
as the Celerity FC driver does not support
boot functionality on these systems.
1
Power on your system and log in as the
administrator or a user with proper
administrative privileges
OS X
Note
Some ATTO Celerity FC drivers are included
on the Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8) CD
and do not require additional installation
steps, however we recommend you visit the
ATTO website to check for, and download,
the latest drivers and firmware.
Note
The ATTO Celerity FC host adapters support
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, Snow Leopard,
Leopard and Tiger operating systems. ATTO
16Gb and 8Gb FC adapters also have EFI
boot support on Intel based systems.

Installing a fresh copy of OS X onto a disk
attached to a Celerity FC adapter (only for
8Gb FC adapters)
Note
Boot support is available on Intel-based
systems only.
Note
The EFI boot driver is disabled by default. To
enable it, use the ATTO Configuration Tool in
an existing OS X installation, or use the EFI
Configuration utility built into the EFI driver
(see the procedure below for launching the
utility).
Note
This is a two step process. First step is to
adjust adapter settings with the EFI
Configuration utility. Second step is to install
the OS X onto a disk attached to the adapter.
Please review thoroughly to ensure you are
using the second step corresponding to the
OS X version available in your system.
