10. Power up all external FC devices, then power up the PC and observe the

monitor. The BIOS is disabled by default. Consequently, the devices

attached to the QLA23xx board are not identified. For example:

QLogic Corporation

QLA23xx PCI Fibre Channel ROM BIOS Version x.xx

www.qlogic.com

Press <Alt-Q> for Fast!UTIL

BIOS for Adapter 0 is disabled

ROM BIOS not installed

NOTE:

■ SunSPARC systems do not display the BIOS banner.

■ Enable the BIOS only if the boot device is attached to the

QLA23xx board. This allows the system to boot faster.

■ For further information about enabling the QLA23xx board

BIOS, see appendix A.

If the information displayed on your monitor is correct, congratulations! You have

successfully installed the QLA23xx board in your computer.

See the Software Installation Guide for the QLA2300 Board Family (FC2253301-00)

for detailed instructions on how to install the software drivers.

If the information displayed is not correct and you have checked the QLA23xx

board’s configuration, see section 3 for troubleshooting information.

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 QLA23xx board BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is

connected to the QLA23xx board.

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

QLA23xx board automatically configures the FC peripherals.

Some new system BIOSs support selectable boot, which supersedes the QLA23xx

board BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the QLA23xx board FC hard disk in the

system BIOS to boot from an FC hard disk attached to the QLA23xx board.
