Using Fast!UTIL
This section provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who want to customize the
configuration of an HBA and the connected devices.
Use Fast!UTIL, HP’s BIOS-resident configuration tool to customize the HBA’s configuration. Access
Fast!UTIL by pressing ALT+Q during the H BA BIOS initialization (it may take a few seco nds for the Fast!
UTIL Options menu to display). If you have more than one HBA, Fast!UTIL prompts you to select the
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 HBA may not function properly.
The following sections describe the Fast!UTIL options.
