Introduction
This appendix provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who
want to customize the configuration of the QLA2xxx board and the connected
devices.
The board can be configured using Fast!UTIL. Access Fast!UTIL by pressing
<ALT>-<Q> during the QLA2xxx board BIOS initialization (it may take a few
seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to appear). If you have more than one QLA2xxx
board, Fast!UTIL asks you to select the board you want to configure. After
changing the settings, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters.
CAUTION! If the configuration settings are incorrect, your QLA2xxx board will
not function properly.
The following sections describe the Fast!UTIL options.
