If you have a selectable boot BIOS and want to boot to an FC hard disk, set the motherboard BIOS parameters to None or Not Installed. The ROM BIOS on the QLA2342/2342L HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals.

Some new system BIOSs support selectable boot, which supersedes the QLA2342/2342L HBA BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the QLA2342/2342L HBA FC hard disk in the system BIOS to boot from an FC hard disk attached to the QLA2342/2342L HBA.

Introduction

This appendix provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who want to customize the configuration of the QLA2342/2342L HBA and the connected devices.

The QLA2342/2342L HBA can be configured using Fast!UTIL, QLogic’s BIOS-resident configuration tool. Access Fast!UTIL by pressing CNTRL+Q during the QLA2342/2342L HBA BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL Options menu to display). If you have more than one QLA2342/2342L HBA, Fast!UTIL asks you to select the QLA2342/2342L HBA you want to configure. After changing the settings and exiting the utility, Fast!UTIL restarts your system to load the new parameters.

CAUTION! If the configuration settings are incorrect, your QLA2342/2342L HBA may not function properly.

The following sections describe the Fast!UTIL options.
