Introduction

This appendix provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who want to customize the configuration of the QLA23xx board and the connected devices.

The QLA23xx board can be configured using Fast!UTIL, QLogic’s BIOS-resident configuration tool. Access Fast!UTIL by pressing ALT+Q during the QLA23xx board BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL Options menu to display). If you have more than one QLA23xx board, Fast!UTIL asks you to select the QLA23xx board you want to configure. After changing the settings and exiting the utility, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters.

CAUTION! If the configuration settings are incorrect, your QLA23xx board may not function properly.

The following sections describe the Fast!UTIL options.
