If your system has an integrated drive electronics (IDE) fixed disk device, it may be assigned device number 80, which is the boot device. If your system does not have an IDE disk device, the first bootable FC disk device configured (the one with the lowest ID) is assigned device number 80 and becomes the boot device. The QLA22xx BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is connected to the QLA22xx.
If you have a selectable boot BIOS, set the motherboard BIOS parameters to None or Not Installed. The ROM BIOS on the FC controller automatically configures the FC peripherals.
