b.After Fast!UTIL loads, the display depends on whether there are multiple QLogic HBAs installed:

•If there is only one QLogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options menu appears.

c.Select Configuration Settings from the menu.

d.Select Selectable Boot Settings from the Host Adapter Settings menu; then select the first Boot Port Name entry.

The HBA will scan for available target ports. The HBA might not find any target ports, but this step allows the HBA to register with the switch database.
