9 ATTO Technology Inc. ATTO ExpressSAS Host Adapter Installation and Operation Manual

If you are changing the version of Windows you are 
using or installing a fresh copy of your current version 
onto your system, you must ensure Windows 
recognizes your ATTO ExpressSAS and uses its 
drivers.
You may either create an installation media (disk, CD 
or USB flash drive) from the Installation CD or create 
an installation media (disk, CD or USB flash drive) 
from a file from the ATTO website, then use that media 
to install the adapter and its driver to the new version 
of Windows.
Follow these procedures after you have completed 
installation of the ExpressSAS adapter and you have 
connected storage devices (refer to 

on page 11). 
If you have an ExpressSAS RAID adapter, you must 
configure a RAID group to install the operating system 
using the BIOS Utility from the ATTO Utilities program 
found on your Installation CD or downloaded from the 
ATTO website.
