monitor. The BIOS is disabled by default. Consequently, the devices 
attached to the QLA22xx board are not identified. For example:

QLogic Corporation

Press <Alt-Q> for Fast!UTIL

BIOS for Adapter 0 is disabled

ROM BIOS not installed

NOTE:

Sun SPARC systems do not display the BIOS banner.

Enable the BIOS only if the boot device is attached to the QLA22xx 
board.

For further information about enabling the QLA22xx BIOS, see 

appendix A

.

If the information displayed on your monitor is correct, congratulations! You have 
successfully installed the QLA22xx board in your computer.

See the appropriate QLogic software installation guide for detailed instructions on 
how to install the software drivers.

If the information displayed is not correct and you have checked the QLA22xx 
board’s configuration, see section 3 for troubleshooting information.

If your system has an integrated drive electronics (IDE) fixed disk device, it may be 
assigned device number 80, which is the boot device. If your system does not have 
an IDE disk device, the first bootable FC disk device configured (the one with the 
lowest ID) is assigned device number 80 and becomes the boot device. The 
QLA22xx BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is connected to the QLA22xx.

If you have a selectable boot BIOS, set the motherboard BIOS parameters to None 
or Not Installed. The ROM BIOS on the FC controller automatically configures the 
FC peripherals.
