FC0051101-00 A 5-37
2. In the Adapter NVRAM Settings area, specify the following parameters:
❑ Hard Loop ID. This is the ID used by the adapter if the Enable Adapter
Hard Loop ID setting is enabled.
❑ Enable Adapter Hard Loop ID. If this setting is enabled, the adapter
uses the ID specified in the Hard Loop ID setting.
❑ Frame Size. This setting specifies the maximum frame length supported
by the adapter. The valid frame sizes are: 512, 1024, and 2048.
❑ Enable Host Adapter BIOS. When this setting is disabled, the ROM
BIOS on the QLA2xxx adapter is disabled, freeing space in the system’s
upper memory. Do not disable this setting if you are booting from a
Fibre Channel disk drive attached to the QLA2xxx adapter.
❑ Loop Reset Delay. After resetting the loop, the firmware refrains from
initiating any loop activity for the number of seconds specified in this
setting. The valid delay is from 5 to 15.
3. In the Adapter Advanced NVRAM Settings area, specify the following
parameters:
❑ Execution Throttle. This setting specifies the maximum number of
commands executing on any one port. When a port’s execution throttle
is reached, no new commands are executed until the current command
finishes executing. The valid options for this setting are: 1, 4, 8, 16, 32,
64, 128, and 255. They can be selected from the drop-down menu.
❑ LUNS per Target. This setting specifies the number of logical unit
numbers (LUNs) per target. Multiple LUN support is typical for
redundant array of independent disk (RAID) boxes that use LUNs to
map drives. The valid options for this setting are: 0, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,
and 256. If you do not need multiple LUN support, set LUNS per Target
to 0.
❑ Enable 4Gbyte Addressing. This setting notifies the adapter if the
system has more than 4 gigabytes of memory.
❑ Enable Database Updates. This setting is used by the adapter’s driver
to save the loop configuration information in the flash (EEPROM) when
the system is powered down.
❑ Enable LIP Full Login. When this setting is enabled, the adapter logs
in to all ports after a LIP.
