by the QLA2xxx board. The default size is 1024.

initiating any loop activity for the number of seconds specified in this
setting. The default is 5 seconds.

specified in the Hard Loop ID setting. The default is Disabled.

Selectable Boot Settings
The Selectable Boot Settings option is accessed from the Configuration Settings
menu. If you enable this option, you can select the node name from which you
want to boot. Once enabled, this option forces the system to boot on the selected
FC drive, ignoring any IDE drives attached to your system. If you disable this
option, the system looks for an IDE drive from which to boot. If an IDE drive is
not found, the system looks for the first bootable FC drive. In disabled mode, the
boot ID and boot LUN parameters have no effect.
NOTE: This option applies only to disk devices; it does not apply to tape drives
and other nondisk devices.
