Setting Up MBA in a Client Environment
Setting up MBA in a client environment involves the following steps:

Enabling the MBA Driver
To enable or disable the MBA driver:
1. Insert an MS-DOS 6.22 or a Real Mode Kernel bootable disk containing the
uxdiag.exe file (for 10/100/1000-Mbps network adapters) or uediag.exe
(for 10Gbps network adapters) in the removable disk drive and power up
your system.
NOTE
The uxdiag.exe (or uediag.exe) file is on the installation CD or in the
DOS Utilities package available from driverdownloads.qlogic.com/.
2. Type:
uxdiag -mba [ 0-disable | 1-enable ] -c devnum
(or uediag -mba [ 0-disable | 1-enable ] -c devnum)
where
devnum is the specific device(s) number (0,1,2, ...) to be programmed.
Configuring the MBA Driver
This section describes the configuration of the MBA driver on add-in NIC models
of the QLogic network adapter using the Comprehensive Configuration
Management (CCM) utility. To configure the MBA driver on LOM models of the
QLogic network adapter, check your system documentation. Both the MBA driver
and the CCM utility reside on the adapter Flash memory.
You can use the CCM utility to configure the MBA driver one adapter at a time as
described in this section. To simultaneously configure the MBA driver for multiple
adapters, use the MS-DOS-based user diagnostics application described in
"Performing Diagnostics" on page
utility, see the Comprehensive Configuration Management User's Guide.
