lease, but will continue to be supported under earlier software releases with a major

number of 7. 100 Series (100x4, 100x2 and 100x1) Accelerators are not supported

with this software release, but will continue to be supported under earlier releases with

a major number of 6.

1.2 Description

Alacritech Accelerators are single-port or multi-port network interface cards (NICs) that

employ Alacritech‘s SLIC Technologyarchitecture, which uses an innovative applica-

tion-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for protocol processing. Accelerators operate with

Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition operating systems us-

ing the Microsoft Scalable Networking Pack.

The SLIC Technology architecture increases server performance and efficiency in two

specific ways:

TCP/IP Protocol processing is offloaded onto the 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 applica-

tion processing, boosting both network and server performance.

2 Software Installation

2.1 Software Installation Overview

This chapter covers the installation of the software required for an Accelerator under

Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. There are different

procedures for different types of installations. It is important to follow the correct pro-

cedure. The following types of situations are covered:

Installing the drivers into a system with the Windows operating system

Updating the drivers for an existing Accelerator installation

Uninstalling the Accelerator

Note: TCP Chimney offload will not work with the following features:

Windows Firewall (Windows XP enabled by Default)

Internet Protocol security (IPsec)

Internet Protocol Network Address Translation (IPNAT)

Third-party firewalls

NDIS 5.1 intermediate drivers

If any one of these features is turned on, TCP Chimney offload will not

work regardless of the registry settings. See Chapter 3 for instructions on

disabling these features.

Note: The Microsoft Scalable Networking Pack must be installed prior to instal-

ling Alacritech software. If Scalable Networking Pack is not installed, you

will get the following popup and be unable to complete the installation.

Scalable Networking Pack is included as Part of WS2003 SP2.

2.2 Software First Installation

This section covers the procedures for installing the software required for the Accelera-

tors prior to installing Alacritech hardware. Follow the appropriate procedure for your

type of installation.

2.2.1 Installation of the Accelerator

1. Insert your Alacritech Driver Installation CD into the system. Select the ap-

propriate installation. If the installation is launched from the install.htm page on

the CD, and default security settings are set on the browser, there may be sev-

eral pop-ups asking if you want to run this package. Once you select run, the

setup wizard will launch.

2. From the Alacritech Accelerator Setup click Next to begin the software instal-

lation.

3. In the Alacritech Accelerator Setup –Software License Agreement window

read the terms of the End User License Agreement. Select I accept the terms

of the License Agreement, and click the Next button if you accept the license

agreement.

If you do not accept the terms of the License Agreement then leave I do not

accept the terms in the License Agreement selected and click Cancel to exit

the installation.

4. If you accept the agreement the Choose Setup Type window will appear.

From this window you can select the installation appropriate for your environ-

ment. Most users will choose Typical, which will install the base drivers in their

default locations. The Custom setting is for advanced users who wish to ma-

nually select which drivers will be installed. Complete will install the entire driv-

er package. This is the selection that should be made if you want to do network

teaming.

Once you have made your selection, click Next to continue.
