QLA200 HBA Components

The QLA200 HBA contains parts that can be damaged by

electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before handling the QLA200 HBA,

use standard methods to discharge static electricity. Keep the

QLA200 HBA in the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.

Place the board on the bag when you examine or configure it. Retain

the bag for future use.

Figure 1-2 identifies the QLA200 HBA components referenced throughout this

section.

Each QLA200 HBA has a unique serial number; its location on the HBA is noted in

figure 1-2. Take a minute to write down the serial number of the QLA200 HBA on

the inside cover of this document. The serial number is required for QLogic technical

support and for your HBA warranty.

Installing the QLA200 HBA and Driver

Installing your QLA200 HBA is quick and easy:

First, install the QLA200 HBA according to the directions in section 2.

Second, install the software driver according to the directions in the section that

corresponds to your computer’s operating system:

Section 2

HBA Installation

2.1

Installing the QLA200 HBA

Perform the following steps to install the QLA200 HBA in your PC:

Step 1. Prepare the system for the QLA200 HBA.

❑ Power down the peripherals, then the computer.

❑ Remove the computer cover and save the screws.

❑ Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes

necessary to accommodate the QLA200 HBA.

The QLA200 HBA is self-configuring; however, some motherboards

require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI

Device Configuration menu in the motherboard setup BIOS where

you must enable HBAs, bus master slots, and IRQ levels. If the

motherboard supports triggering, use level triggering for the QLA200

HBA. See the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact

your computer dealer to determine if your motherboard requires

configuration.

❑ Choose any PCI bus slot that supports bus mastering.

Most motherboards automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line;

if your motherboard does not, you must assign the IRQ level and use

interrupt line A for this slot.

❑ Remove the slot cover for the slot in which you will install the QLA200

HBA.

2 – HBA Installation

Installing the QLA200 HBA

Step 2. Install the low-profile bracket (optional).

❑ Remove the two screws that attach the current bracket to the HBA.

Retain the screws to re-attach the new bracket (see figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1. Low-Profile Bracket Installation

❑ Remove the current bracket by sliding it off the transceiver housings.

Set the bracket aside.

❑ Position the new bracket over the transceiver housings. Gently press

the bracket into position. Make sure the mounting tabs with the threaded

holes are positioned on the far side (the side opposite the transceiver)

of the QLA200 HBA.

❑ Align the screw holes of the QLA200 HBA and the bracket, then insert

and tighten the screws. Correct torque is 3.6-in/lbs.

Step 3. Install the QLA200 HBA (see figure 2-2).

Figure 2-2. QLA200 HBA Installation

❑ Place the QLA200 HBA into the slot. Carefully press the HBA into the

slot until it seats firmly.

❑ Secure the QLA200 HBA to the chassis. Follow the PC manufacturer’s

instructions.

❑ Connect the Fibre Channel connectors to the QLA200 HBA; follow the

instructions provided by your storage vendor (RAID box) (see

figure 2-3).

Step 4. Power up all external FC devices, then power up the PC and observe the

monitor.

By default, the BIOS is disabled. Therefore, the devices attached to the

QLA200 HBA are not displayed when the PC is powered up. For example:

QLogic Corporation

QLA200 PCI Fibre Channel ROM BIOS Version x.xx

www.qlogic.com

Press <CNTRL-Q> for Fast!UTIL

BIOS for Adapter 0 is disabled

ROM BIOS not installed

Enable the BIOS only if the boot device is attached to the

QLA200 HBA. This allows the system to boot faster.

For more information about enabling the QLA200 HBA

BIOS, see section 7.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your QLogic HBA! You are now

ready to install the HBA driver.

See the appropriate section for detailed instructions on how to install the software

drivers.

If the information displayed is not correct and you have checked the QLA200 HBA’s

configuration, see section 6 for troubleshooting information.

See section 7 for detailed instructions on how to customize the QLA200 HBA and

its attached devices using the Fast!UTIL BIOS utility.
