1.2 Description
Alacritech Accelerators are single-port or multi-port network
interface cards (NICs) that employ Alacritech’s SLIC (Session-
Layer Interface Card) Technology, which uses an innovative
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) for protocol
processing. Accelerators operate with Windows 2000, Windows
XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
SLIC Technologyincreases server performance and efficiency in
two specific ways:
Alacritech Accelerator Users Guide 1-3
•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 application 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 2000, Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003. There are different procedures for different types of
installations, so take care to follow the correct procedure. The
following types of situations are covered:
■Installation during the installation of the Windows operating
system
■Installation into an existing Windows system
■Updating the drivers for an existing Accelerator installation
■Uninstalling the Accelerator
Note: Alacritech’s SLIC Technology requires the
installation of additional components not typically
required by a network adapter to support the TCP
offload capabilities of the Accelerator. All
installations must be done with the Alacritech
Setup utility.
