2 – QLA2340/2340L Installation in the Computer Perform the following steps to install the QLA2340/2340L HBA in your PC: 1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to accommodate the QLA2340/2340L HBA. The QLA2340/2340L HBA is self-configuring; however, some motherboards require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI Device Configuration menu in the motherboard setup BIOS where you must enable HBAs, bus master slots, and IRQ levels.

In this example, it would be a 3.2 GB (1.6 GB+1.6 GB) partition. 2. Use the format command to create, label, and format partitions on the new bootable disk. These partitions must be able to contain the contents of your temporary saveset files.
