Verify the Adapter Installation

To verify that the adapter is properly installed and that it can be recognized as a PCIe device by the server:

1.While the host server is booting, verify that the adapter BIOS banner appears without errors. Some servers may require that you press the ESC key at the motherboard BIOS banner screen to enable the display of diagnostic messages.

2.The QLogic BIOS banner indicates that the adapter has passed its Power-On Self Test (POST), the adapter has been recognized and enumerated as a PCIe device, and it is safe to boot the operating system and install the QLogic driver.

The presence or absence of the QLogic banner does not indicate that the QLogic adapter has been connected to a compatible switch.
