Updating the SCSI BIOS
If you are using an ATTO SCSI HBA card, you
may need to update its SCSI BIOS. When start-
ing your computer, you will see what version of
the ATTO SCSI BIOS is installed on the SCSI
card. If it is not version 1.68 or higher, you will
need to flash the SCSI BIOS with 1.68 or higher
ATTO SCSI BIOS (flash.bat).
To update the BIOS on the ATTO SCSI card:
1
Insert a High Density PC formatted floppy
disk in your floppy drive (this needs to be a DOS
boot disk).
2
Copy the DOS folder from the ATTO folder on
the Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM to the floppy
disk.
3
Shut down your computer.
4
Disconnect all hard drives from the SCSI HBA
card.
5
Start your computer with the floppy disk in
the floppy drive.
6
From within DOS, CD to the DOS\UTILITY
folder and run flash.bat.
7
When prompted, press Z.
The SCSI BIOS will be updated. This may take a
few minutes.
8
Select Configure Adapter Channels.
9
Set Host Adapter BIOS to Scan Only.
10
Press the Esc key twice.
11
Select Save Parameters and Exit, and press
Enter.
Installing the Windows Device
Driver
If you are using an ATTO SCSI HBA card, you
will need to install its Windows device driver.
To install the ATTO Windows device driver:
1
Disconnect all hard drives from the SCSI HBA
card.
2
Start your computer. Note the version of the
ATTO SCSI BIOS when booting. If it is version
1.68, proceed to the next step. If it is not version
1.68, you will need to flash the ATTO SCSI BIOS
(see “Updating the SCSI BIOS” on page 20).
3
Insert the Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive.
4
Locate and unzip the epci168 file (in the ATTO
folder).
5
Run the Setup.exe file from the unzipped
folder and follow the onscreen instructions. The
Windows device drivers are automatically for
both channels of the SCSI HBA.
6
When the installation is complete, reboot
your computer.
In the Windows Device Manager, both channels
of the SCSI HBA will appear under SCSI and
RAID controllers as “ExpressPCI Adapter - UL3D
(Ultra3 Dual Channel).”
Once you have installed the SCSI HBA, its Win-
dows device drivers, and restarted you com-
puter, you can connect your SCSI hard drives.
Do not interrupt this process or your system
may be damaged.
For more information, see the flash.txt in
the DOS\UTILITY.
