1 ATTO FastFrame NIC Features & Overview FastFrame 10Gb Ethernet NICs provide flexible and scalable LAN connectivity. Built on industry-leading Intel® silicon for universal usability, ATTO FastFrame NICs lead in high performance I/O connectivity for Mac OS X environments while offering broad support for Windows and Linux server and workstation operating systems.
FastFrame NS14 Adapter FastFrame's comprehensive, easy-to-understand portfolio includes single-, dual-, and quad-port adapters with included high-quality SFP+ connectors a hidden cost with some competitor cards - and support for direct attach copper cables. Quad-port adapters conserve PCI slots for more flexible system design. FastFrame™ draws up to 60% less power than competing solutions.
FastFrame NS12 Adapter FastFrame's comprehensive, easy-to-understand portfolio includes single-, dual-, and quad-port adapters with included high-quality SFP+ connectors a hidden cost with some competitor cards - and support for direct attach copper cables. FastFrame™ draws up to 60% less power than competing solutions. A lower power rating means lower energy costs, lower data center maintenance fees, and fewer worries about heat dissipation.

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. The Installation CD automatically starts when inserted in the system CD-ROM drive.
Mac OS X 1 2 3 4 5 6 Power on your system and log in as the administrator or a user with proper administrative privileges Go to www.attotech.com Click on downloads. Register or log in if previously registered. Click on Ethernet Adapters in the left dialog. Navigate to your HBA model/family in the right dialog and click on it. 7 Scroll down to and click the desired driver depending on the operating system. 8 A download window appears. Choose Save File.

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 8, 7, Vista, Server 2012, 2008 and 2008 R2 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 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 and later. 1 2 Open the ATTO ConfigTool from the ATTO Utilities CD or download it from the ATTO website. Refer to the ATTO Utilities Installation and Operations Manual for additional information. If the adapter does not appear in the System Profiler, 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.
