Introduction
This appendix provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who
want to customize the configuration of the QLA23xx HBA and the connected
devices.
The QLA23xx HBA can be configured using Fast!UTIL, QLogic’s BIOS-resident
configuration tool. Access Fast!UTIL by pressing CNTRL+Q during the QLA23xx
HBA BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL Options menu
to display). If you have more than one QLA23xx HBA, Fast!UTIL asks you to select
the QLA23xx HBA you want to configure. After changing the settings and exiting
the utility, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters.
CAUTION!
If the configuration settings are incorrect, your QLA23xx HBA may not
function properly.
The following selections are available from the Fast!UTIL Options menu:
n Configuration Settings (see section 14.2)
n Scan Fibre Channel Devices (see section 14.3)
n Fibre Disk Utility (see section 14.4)
n Loopback Data Test (see section 14.5)
n Select Host Adapter (see section 14.6)
n Exit Fast!UTIL
14.2
Configuration Settings
