Double-click the installation package and follow the prompts in the Installer app to complete the installation. Do Not Restart the computer when prompted to do so by the ATTO installer.  It is important to confirm kernel extension permissions before the system is restarted.

During installation a pop-up will present itself requesting permission to allow the kernel extension to be loaded.

Clicking in the prompt on Open Security Preferences opens System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General tab, where you will see the following prompt. Click on the checkbox next to ATTO Technologies, Inc. to enable the kernel extension to load at the next (and subsequent) boot time.

macOS Ventura


3d - Restart

Once the ATTO kernel extension has been given permission to load, the system will ask to restart. When the Restart button is selected, a message is displayed stating that the system extension cache is being rebuilt and the Mac will restart.
