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.

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 
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals.

Some new system BIOSs support selectable boot, which supersedes the 
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the 
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA FC hard disk in the system BIOS to boot from an FC hard 
disk attached to the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA.
