8 ATTO Technology Inc. FastFrame NIC Installation and Operation Manual
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. Navigate the
easy-to-use HTML-based menu to find the driver for
your adapter and operating system.
The FastFrame NIC Installation CD, referred to in
these instructions, is the Installation CD that
shipped with your adapter or a folder containing the
latest downloaded and expanded driver. We
strongly recommend downloading the latest drivers,
available at
http://www.attotech.com/downloads.html
Windows
Note
Windows 8, 7, Vista, Server 2012 and
2008 may utilize a new User Account
Control Feature. Because of this there
may be additional confirmations that will
need to be performed to properly install
the driver. These confirmations normally
consist of a dialog where the user has to
give Windows permission to perform an
action. If you do not have the correct
privileges during this, you will be prompted
for an actual user name and password.
You may need to contact your system
administrator if you do not have this
information.
