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.
ATTO ExpressPCI Fibre Channel host adapters carry SCSI protocol over Fibre Channel.

3 Hardware installation and initial configuration
You will need a basic understanding of Fibre Channel before installing the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter. Please refer to Chapter 2 for a list of Fibre Channel-related web sites.
WARNING Remember to back up your system data before changing or installing hardware.
System requirements
The ATTO Express PCI host adapter package contains the host adapter, the ATTO Express Pro-
Tools CD and a warranty and registration card. If any of these items are missing, contact your authorized ATTO Technology representative.
To install and use the ATTO ExpressPCI Fibre
Channel adapter you will need:
❖
A computer with an available 32- or 64-bit
PCI expansion slot.
❖
The complete ATTO ExpressPCI FC host adapter package.
Fibre Channel address
ATTO ExpressPCI host adapters are configured with a unique address designated by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
The WorldWide Port Name (WWN) and Node name are the two components of the address assigned to Fibre Channel products. This address, which is stored in the flash ROM on the ATTO
ExpressPCI host adapter, allows the system to recognize it 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 below.
WWN:_______________________
Installation
WARNING ATTO ExpressPCI host adapters contain components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). ESD can cause damage to the ExpressPCI host adapter. Please follow standard methods to avoid ESD.
1 Power down the computer and unplug the computer from all power sources.
2 Open the case.
3
Ins tall the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter in any open PCI expansion slot. If you have questions about how to install an expansion card in your system, consult your computer’s documentation.
If you have difficulty seating the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter in 32-bit PCI bus computers, check to make sure the connector can accommodate 64-bit host adapters.
4 Connect Fibre Channel devices by attaching a Fibre Channel cable to the connector on the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter. Refer to
Exhibit 3-1 when selecting cables and connectors.
The ATTO ExpressPCI FCSW has an embedded duplex SC optical connector and uses a short wave laser. A multimode cable must be used with short
wave lasers. See Exhibit 3-1 for cable type and
maximum distances.
5 Close the computer case and power it up.
Cabling
Fibre Channel technology offers a variety of cabling options including standard copper, equalized copper, and fiber optic depending on the requirements of your environment. See
Exhibit 3-1 for cable type and maximum
distances.

ATTO recommends using the same device driver and firmware version. To verify the version:
Windows
Use the ATTO ExpressPCI
Configuration Tool for complete information about the driver and firmware version or use a combination of the adapter boot string (firmware version) during system boot and the Device
Manager (driver version)
Mac OS X
Use the ATTO ExpressPCI
Configuration Tool (driver and firmware version available) or Apple System Profiler (driver version only)

5 Troubleshooting
This chapter contains solutions for the most common problems you might encounter. If you need additional assistance, please refer to the ATTO Technology web site (www.attotech.com) or contact an
ATTO Technology authorized representative.
General suggestions
❖
Check each cable connection on every device. Verify all cables are in proper working condition. Loose or broken cables are often the cause of errors or problems.
❖
Check that your Fibre Channel devices are plugged into an AC outlet and are turned on before you add power to your computer.
❖
If using an MIA, check to see it is operating properly.
Windows 2000/XP
❖
If using an Intel-based PC, Fibre Channel drives should be booted up before the host computer. If the PC is powered up before the drives, the drives may not be visible to
Windows.
If the devices connected to the ATTO
ExpressPCI host adapter are not accessible:
1
Right-click My Computer and select
Properties.
2
Select the Hardware tab and select Device
Manager.
3 If the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter does not appear under the SCSI and RAID controllers, shut down and make sure the
ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter is properly seated in the PCI slot (remove power from the PC, remove its case, check the PCI slot, replace the case, apply power).
4 Reload the driver.
5 If the adapter has been identified but there is an exclamation point (!) on the listing, right
click on the listing and select Uninstall.
Reboot system and repeat the installation process. If problems persist, contact your authorized ATTO Technology representative.
❖
If the card has been recently re-flashed with new firmware, the new Windows driver must be installed. Follow the procedure in
Chapter 4.
❖
All of the external devices connected to the host adapter should be identified. If they do not appear in the Device Manager, the external devices or connection may not be working properly.
❖
For Intel-based PCs, check the computer
CMOS setup and verify that the PCI slots are configured correctly. Procedures vary greatly: refer to the manual supplied with your system or call the computer supplier for configuration assistance. Windows
2000 is a Plug-n-Play OS: be sure your computer’s BIOS is set accordingly.
❖
If these do not solve the problem, re-flash the host adapter and re-install the Windows
2000 driver.
Windows NT
❖
If using an Intel-based PC, Fibre Channel drives should be booted up before the host computer. If the PC is powered up before the drives, the drives may not be visible to
Windows NT.
If the devices connected to ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter are not accessible:
1
Open the SCSI Adapters utility in the Control
Panel under Settings.
2 Verify the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter
64-bit PCI Fibre Channel host adapter
appears under the Devices List.
3
If it does not appear in the Device List, verify
that the adapter is seated properly in the PCI slot (remove power from the PC, remove its case, check the PCI slot, replace the case, apply power).
9 ATTO Technology ExpressPCI FCSW and FC 2600 Installation and Operation Manual
4
If it has been identified, click on the Drivers
Tab to see if the ATTO ExpressPCI host
adapter driver has been started. It will say
Started in the right hand column of the
window. If the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter driver appears but is not started,
check on the device status. In the Control
Panel click on Devices and scroll down to
expresfc. Click Startup button. Startup type
should be Boot. Click on Hardware profiles,
status should be Enabled.
5
If ExpressPCI FC does not appear in the
Device List, try reloading the driver software as described in Chapter 4 of this manual.
6
If it is started, go back to the Devices tab of
the SCSI adapters utility window and double click on the ATTO ExpressPCI host adapter description, and then on the bus it is assigned to. All of the external devices connected in the loop should be identified.
If they do not appear in the Device List, the
external devices or connection are not working properly.
❖
If the card has been recently re-flashed with new firmware, the new NT driver must be installed.
❖
For Intel-based PCs, check the computer
CMOS setup and verify that the PCI slots are configured correctly. Procedures vary greatly: refer to the manual supplied with your system or call the computer supplier for configuration assistance.
❖
If these suggestions do not solve the problem, re-flash the host adapter and reinstall the Windows NT driver.
Macintosh
❖
Power up Fibre Channel drives before booting up your machine. If the Macintosh host is powered up before the drives, the drives may not automatically mount
(depending on when the drives were powered on).
❖
Re-flash the card using the updater program
(See Chapter 4). Select the unconditional flash option when attempting to re-flash the host adapter.
