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.
