Installation Help

If your system has an IDE hard disk, it may be assigned device number 80, which is the boot device. If your system does not have an IDE hard disk, a parallel SCSI host bus adapter (HBA), or a RAID adapter, the first bootable FC hard disk configured (the one with the lowest ID) is assigned device number 80 and becomes the boot device. The QLA2340/2340L HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is connected to the QLA2340/2340L HBA.
