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 QLA2350/2352 HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot device

is connected to the QLA2350/2352 HBA.

If you have a selectable boot BIOS and want to boot to an FC hard disk, set the

motherboard BIOS parameters to None or Not Installed. The ROM BIOS on the

QLA2350/2352 HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals.
