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 HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is

connected to the QLA23xx HBA.
