Q 2 – QLA2310F/2310FL Installation in the Computer 2.2 Installation in the Computer Perform the following steps to install the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA in your PC: 1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to accommodate the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA. The QLA2310F/2310FL HBA is self-configuring; however, some motherboards require manual configuration.
Q 2 – QLA2310F/2310FL Installation in the Computer 7. Secure the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA to the chassis. Follow the PC manufacturer’s instructions. 8. Connect the appropriate cable from the devices to the corresponding connector. 9. Carefully reinstall the computer cover. Insert and tighten the computer cover screws. 10. Power up all external FC devices, then power up the PC and observe the monitor. The BIOS is disabled by default.
Q 2 – QLA2310F/2310FL Specifications 2.2.1 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 QLA2310F/2310FL HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is connected to the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA.
