ATTO ExpressPro-Tools and ExpressRAID Important Notes

ExpressPro-Tools and ExpressRAID requirements 
 PCI based Power Macintosh System 7.5.2 or later.   
 Will recognize any device on any SCSI Manager 4.3 compatible SCSI or Fibre
   Channel bus.
 Optimized for use on ATTO's line of ExpressPCI host bus adapters.
 Drivers support any hard drive, disk array, or removable cartridge drive (with
   512 byte block size).

 Will support IEEE 1394 FireWire when using the Indigita SCSI Interface module 1.5.2 or higher.

ExpressPro-Tools and ExpressRAID Installation
Upon installation, ExpressPro-Tools creates a folder named ATTO, in which it installs itself.  It will also install the ExpressPro-Tools Extension in the Extensions Folder of your System Folder.  The ExpressRAID Installer will do the same thing and, additionally, will remove the ExpressStripe and ExpressPro-Tools Extensions, if installed, and replace it with the ExpressRAID Extension.

Installing the ExpressRAID or ExpressPro-Tools driver 
Software controlled RAID arrays not created with ExpressRAID, whether created with ExpressStripe or another RAID package, should not have their drivers updated with ExpressRAID or ExpressPro-Tools.   Due to differences in RAID volume formats, using the Install Driver Option from ExpressPro-Tools or ExpressRAID on an existing Non-ExpressRAID array will result in the array no longer being useable until it is re-created from scratch.  These drivers may generally be installed on single drive HFS partitions without any problem.

Truevision Targa Video Capture Users
For optimum performance, users of Truevision's Targa line of video capture products should upgrade their Targa control panel to version 1.62 or later.  Using previous versions of the Targa Control Panel with ExpressRAID or ExpressPro-Tools will not produce the desired data rates.
