1 ATTO FastFrame CNA Features & Overview The ATTO FastFrame CNA family of high performance I/O connectivity products provide connectivity, intelligence and scalability. Intel's ubiquitous Ethernet Platform united with ATTO Fibre Channel Expertise Intel's Ethernet platform is one of the most widely deployed in the world, and provides simple, tested usability.
FastFrame CS14 Adapter ATTO FastFrame™ CNAs allow customers to save time and money by using a single network to run both Fibre Channel SAN traffic and Ethernet general file system/application traffic on the same lossless network. FastFrame enables connectivity solutions ranging from high-performance access to file servers, through connection to industry-leading NAS systems, to switched fully-converged FCoE topologies, without expensive upgrades, add-ons, or hidden costs.

2 Driver Installation Before installing your FastFrame adapter, you must configure your system to recognize it by installing drivers for your operating system. Note If you already have one or more FastFrame 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. 4 5 6 The Installation CD automatically starts when inserted in the system CD-ROM drive.
7 8 Copy the .tgz file to a temporary folder. Open a terminal window and change to the location of copied tgz. 9 Extract the file using the command tar -xfz . 10 Change to the directory created above then run the installer script ./install.sh. 11 The install script will ask if you want the FastFrame 10 GbE (ffxgbe) network adapter installed. If you wish to enable network traffic on a FastFrame port, the ffxgbe driver should be installed.
3 Hardware Installation Install the ATTO FastFrame Adapter and attach your devices to it using the instructions below. A basic understanding of Fibre Channel over Ethernet is recommended, before attempting to install the FastFrame CNA. The assignment will be as follows: CAUTION MAC address MAC address + 1 MAC address + 2 MAC address + 3 Back up your system data before changing or installing any hardware.

4 FastFrame Link Aggregation FastFrame Link Aggregation allows multiple FastFrame 10GbE links to be combined into one logical link, for the purpose of increasing performance. This feature applies to Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008, 2008 R2 and 2012 for all ATTO FastFrame models. Note: although FastFrame link aggregation does support Server 2012 it is recommended you use Teaming; Windows built-in link aggregation.
5 Select FastFrame Link Aggregation and click OK as shown in 4-4. Exhibit 4-4 Select Protocol to install Configuring Link Aggregation The ATTO FastFrame Link Aggregation user interface uses the following terminology: • Port - A port is a single ethernet connection on a network adapter. Only ports on FastFrame Ethernet adapters can participate in FastFrame link aggregation. • Aggregate Group - A set of Ports which are configured to aggregate with each other.
Configuring a Group’s Operational Settings A FastFrame aggregate group derives most of its operational settings, such as Offloads and jumbo packets, automatically, based on the settings of the network adapters in the group. Therefore, in order for a feature to be in effect for a group, that feature must be set identically on each member adapter. For example, to enable jumbo packets for a group, enable Jumbo Packets (by selecting the same jumbo packet size, such as 9014) on each adapter.
Adding a Port to a Group Removing a Port from a Group Exhibit 4-8 Exhibit 4-9 1 2 3 Adding a Port to a Group Open the FastFrame Link Aggregation Properties page for the FastFrame adapter that is to be added to the group. Select Allow this port to aggregate with ports in the group Select the group in the list. 1 2 3 Select the type of link aggregation to use. Note Currently only Static aggregation is supported, which will be selected automatically. 5 6 Click OK.
5 Updating Drivers Your FastFrame CNA ships with the latest flash and drivers, but these may need to be updated as new versions become available. Visit the ATTO website, www.attotech.com, to download the latest drivers and flash bundle.

If you want the latest version of the ATTO ConfigTool, download it from the ATTO website. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Go to www.
6 Troubleshooting This chapter contains solutions for the most common problems you might encounter. If you need additional assistance, please refer to the ATTO Technology website, www.attotech.com, or contact an authorized ATTO Technology 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.
Mac OS X Note The ATTO FastFrame supports Mac OS X versions 10.6.x, 10.7.x, 10.8.x. 1 3 a. If the adapter does not appear in the System Profiler (10.6) / System Information (10.7/8), make sure the card is seated properly in the PCIe slot. a. b. c. d. e. Shut down and remove power from the Mac. Remove the side of the case. Check the PCIe slot Replace the side of the case. Apply power Verify the driver is loaded. 4 Click on the adapter name in the Device Listing to view the Basic Info screen. b.
