1 Introduction

1.1 About this Guide

This guide describes how to install software and operate the

Alacritech 100 and 1000 Series Server and Storage Accelerators on

a Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4 and above) or Windows 2000

system.

1.1.1 Naming conventions

The general term 100 and 1000 Series Server and Storage

Accelerator applies to all of the following adapters, except where

indicated:

•100x1 Single-Port Server and Storage Accelerator

•100x2 Dual-Port Server and Storage Accelerator

•100x4 Quad-Port Server and Storage Accelerator

•1000x1 Single-Port Gigabit Server and Storage Accelerator

•1000x1F Single-Port Gigabit Server and Storage

Accelerator (1000BASE-SX)

1.2 Description

The 100 and 1000 Series Server and Storage Accelerators are

single-port or multi-port 64-bit 10/100Mbps (or 10/100/1000Mbps

for 1000 Series) Server and Storage Accelerators that employ

Alacritech’s SLIC (Session-Layer Interface Card) Technology,

which uses an innovative application-specific integrated circuit

(ASIC) for protocol processing. The 100 and 1000 Series Server

1-2 Alacritech Server and Storage Accelerator User’s Guide

and Storage Accelerators operate with Windows NT 4.0 (Service

Pack 4 and above) and Windows 2000 operating systems.

SLIC Technologyincreases server performance and efficiency.

TCP/IP Protocol processing is offloaded onto the Server and

Storage Accelerator, freeing the CPU for application processing

and maximizing throughput.

A unique ASIC utilizes an Internet Protocol Processor (IPP),

optimized for TCP/IP protocol processing, which delivers faster

performance than general purpose CPUs.

SLIC Technology eliminates the burden of TCP/IP protocol

processing on the host CPU. By offloading protocol processing,

SLIC Technology frees the CPU for application processing,

boosting both network and server performance.

2 Software Installation for Windows NT

2.1 Software Installation Overview

This chapter covers the installation of the software required for a

100 or 1000 Series Server and Storage Accelerator. There are

different procedures for different types of installations, so take care

to follow the correct procedure. This chapter covers the following

types of situations:

■Installation into an existing Windows NT system with

networking services already established

■Installation into an existing Windows NT system that

has not previously had networking services established

■Installation during the installation of the Windows NT

operating system

■Updating the drivers for an existing 100 or 1000 Series

Server and Storage Accelerator installation

■Uninstalling the 100 or 1000 Series Server and Storage

Accelerator.

2.2 Software Installation

This section covers the procedures for installing the software

required for the 100 and 1000 Series Server and Storage

Accelerators. Follow the appropriate procedure for your type of

installation.

2-2 Alacritech Server and Storage Accelerator User’s Guide

2.2.1 Installation of the 100 or 1000 Series Server and

Storage Accelerator into an Existing Windows NT

System with Networking Services Already Established

If the Windows NT server computer has already been set up for

networking services, follow this procedure.

1. Insert the Alacritech Driver Installation CD into the

appropriate drive.

2. Open the Control Panel and double-click the Network

icon.

3. In the Network dialog box, select the Adapters tab and

click the Add button.

4. In the Select Network Adapter dialog box, click the

Have Disk button.

5. In the Insert Disk dialog box, enter D:\ (or the

appropriate drive) and click the OK button.

6. In the Select OEM Option dialog box, select

Alacritech Accelerator and click the OK button.

7. Click the OK button. The SLIC Adapter dialog box

disappears, leaving you back at the Network dialog

box.

8. Verify that the appropriate number of adapters (four

adapters for the 100x4, two for the 100x2, one for the

100x1 and 1000x1) is added to the Network Adapters

list. Adapter [1] on multi-port 100 Series Server and

Storage Accelerators (or the lowest numbered

Alacritech adapter if there are multiple adapters in the

system) corresponds to RJ-45 connector A on the

adapter (the ‘top’ port, furthest from the PCI

connector), and so on.
