4.1 Recommended Configuration Settings for
QLA2200 Fibre Channel HBA
I
The settings described in this chapter are valid for QLA FW 1.61 only.
Fujitsu Siemens Computers recommends configuring the Qlogic BIOS settings
with the FSC-approved NVRAM settings file. This contains all the BIOS settings
for the QLA2200 HBA that have been tested and approved for connection to
storage subsystems (like PRIMERGY S60) in RAID configurations.
If you are configuring the QLA2200 HBA, you must manually set the adapter
topology for either fabric or arbitrated loop and the Port Down Retry Count using
the Fast!UTIL tool.
Follow the steps below to set the topology and the Port Down Retry Count:
1. Boot the Windows host and press [Alt]+[Q] when prompted to:
Press <Alt-Q> for Fast!UTIL
This prompt appears with the Qlogic startup banner during boot-up.
2. After the Fast!UTIL-Version 1.77 program loads, the initial display will depend
on whether there are multiple Qlogic HBAs installed in the server:
● If there is only one Qlogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options menu appears
(table 1 on page 49).
● If there are multiple Qlogic HBAs, a list of memory addresses occupied
by those HBAs appears:

Using the arrow keys, select the desired HBA and press Enter Ú. The
Fast!UTIL Options menu (table 1 on page 49) appears.
