NOTE:
■
SunSPARC systems do not display the BIOS banner.
■
Enable the BIOS only if the boot device is attached to the
QLA2342/2342L HBA. This allows the system to boot faster.

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 QLA2342/2342L HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot device
is connected to the QLA2342/2342L
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
QLA2342/2342L
HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals.
Some new system BIOSs support selectable boot, which supersedes the
QLA2342/2342L HBA BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the QLA2342/2342L
HBA FC hard disk in the system BIOS to boot from an FC hard disk attached to the
QLA2342/2342L HBA.
