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.
Glossary
Some terms used in the Fibre Channel industry are defined below. More information is available through
.
Term
Definition
ANSI
American National Standards Institute
arbitrate
process of selecting one L_Port from a collection of ports which ask for use of the arbitrated loop
at the same time
arbitrated loop
a loop topology (FC-AL) in which two or more ports are interconnected, but only two ports can
communicate at one time; low-cost solution which may or may not use hubs and switches
auto negotiation
hardware senses and automatically responds depending on configuration
BER
bit
Bit Error Rate: a measure of transmission accuracy; the ratio of bits received in error to bits sent
smallest unit of data a computer can process: a single binary digit with a value of either 0 or 1
bus
a collection of unbroken signal lines used to transmit information from one part of a computer
system to another; taps on the lines connect devices to the bus
byte
an ordered set of 8 bits
channel
CPU
a point-to-point link which transports data from one point to another
Central Processing Unit: the portion of the computer that actually performs computations
CRC
Cyclic Redundancy Check: an error-correcting code which calculates a numeric value for received
and transmitted data; if no error has occurred during transmission, the CRC for both received and
transmitted data should be the same
destination
address
a value in the frame header of each frame which identifies the port in the node where the frame is
being sent
device driver
DMA
a program that allows a microprocessor to direct the operation of a peripheral device
Direct Memory Access: a way to move data from a storage device directly to RAM without using
the CPU’s resources
DMA bus master allows a peripheral to control the flow of data to and from system memory by block as opposed to
allowing the processor to control the data by bytes (PIO or programmed I/O)

The Celerity FC Installation CD shipped with
your adapter contains the latest driver.
The Installation CD automatically starts when
inserted in the system CD-ROM drive. Navigate
the easy-to-use HTML-based menu to find the
driver that you want to install.
Note
If you already have one or more Celerity
adapters installed 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.
If the CD does not automatically start, open the
CD and click on autorun.bat

Specialized configurations
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.

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 host 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.

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.
Celerity FC host adapter WWNs are assigned for
