What You Need for Installation
Before you install the QLA2

•
A screwdriver (usually a Phillips #1)
•
A High-Speed, Serial Data Connector (HSSDC) cable for the QLA2200 board
•
An optical, multimode cable with an SC-style duplex connector for the QLA2200F board
Figure 2-1identifies the QLA2
xxx
board components referenced throughout this section.
Each QLA2
xxx
board has a unique serial number; its location on the board is noted in Figure 2-1.
Take a minute to write down the serial number of the QLA2
xxx

Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) is corrupted. If the NVRAM is corrupted, you will
be prompted for the QLA2
xxx
serial number.
