Introduction
1.1
How to Use this Guide
The SANblade™ QLogic host bus adapters (HBAs) supported in this document are
described in the following paragraphs. They are collectively referred to as the
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA unless otherwise noted.
■ QLA®2310F (single channel, full-height bracket, optical media)
■ QLA®2310FL (single channel, low-profile bracket, optical media)
The QLA2310F/2310FL HBAs are 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI-X to Fibre Channel optical
media.
First, install the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA according to the directions in the
appropriate hardware installation section. Secondly, install the software driver
according the directions in the associated readme.txt file.
1.2
General Description
Thank you for selecting the QLA2310F/2310FL Fibre Channel (FC) HBA. The
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA is an intelligent, high-performance, DMA bus master host
adapter designed for high-end systems. The intelligence and performance are
derived from the ISP23xx chips, making the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA a
leading-edge host adapter. The ISP23xx combines a powerful RISC processor, a
Fibre Channel protocol manager (FPM) with one or more 2-Gb Fibre Channel
transceivers, and a peripheral component interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus
interface in a single-chip solution. The QLA2310F/2310FL HBA supports all FC
peripherals that support private loop direct attach (PLDA) and fabric loop attach
(FLA). Installation of the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA is quick and easy.
1.3
What is Fibre Channel?
Fibre Channel technology is outlined in the SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol
(SCSI-FCP) standard. Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transport technology
used for mass storage and networking. It connects mainframes, super computers,
workstations, storage devices, and servers.
Fibre Channel supports data transfer rates up to 200 MBps half-duplex and
400 MBps full-duplex on copper and optical interfaces. The QLA2310F/2310FL
HBAs use a multimode optical interface for intermediate distances (less than

Installation in the Computer
Q
2.2
Installation in the Computer
Perform the following steps to install the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA in your PC:
1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to
accommodate the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA.
The QLA2310F/2310FL 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 QLA2310F/2310FL HBA. See the documentation
supplied with your computer, or contact your computer dealer to determine if
your motherboard requires configuration.
2. Power down the peripherals, then the computer.
3. Remove the computer cover and save the screws.
4. 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.
NOTE:
■ Some motherboards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master and
slave. The QLA2310F/2310FL HBA must be in a PCI bus master slot.
(Some motherboards have PCI bus master slots that are shared with
onboard devices. QLA2310F/2310FL HBAs do not work in shared
slots.)
■ PCI connectors vary among system board manufacturers. The
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA is a 64-bit PCI device that can function in a
32-bitPCIslot;theslotconformstothePCIspecification(therearedge
of the PCI slot is notched). If you try to install the QLA2310F/2310FL
HBA into a PCI slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you
may damage the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA.
■ PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both PCI and
PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the slot type.
■ The QLA2310F/2310FL HBAs are designed and tested to operate at
PCI-X bus speeds up to 66 MHz.
5. RemovetheslotcoverfortheslotinwhichyouwillinstalltheQLA2310F/2310FL

6. Place the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA into the slot. Carefully press the HBA into
the slot until it seats firmly.

7. Secure the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA to the chassis. Follow the PC
manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Connecttheappropriatecablefromthedevicestothecorrespondingconnector.
9. Carefully reinstall the computer cover. Insert and tighten the computer cover
screws.
10. Power up all external FC devices, then power up the PC and observe the
monitor. The BIOS is disabled by default. Consequently, the devices attached
to the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA are not identified. For example:

NOTE:
■ SunSPARC systems do not display the BIOS banner.
■ Enable the BIOS only if the boot device is attached to the
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA. This allows the system to boot faster.
■ For further information about enabling the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA
BIOS, see the appropriate readme.txt.
If the information displayed on your monitor is correct, congratulations! You have
successfully installed the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA in your computer.
If the information displayed is not correct and you have checked the
information.
See the associated readme.txt file for detailed instructions on how to install the
software drivers.
If you need FCode (Solaris SPARC systems), see the associated readme.txt file for
instructions on how to install or update the FCode on the QLA2310/2310FL HBA.
Optionally, youcancustomizethe QLA2310F/2310FL HBA andits attached devices
using the Fast!UTIL BIOS utility. See the associated readme.txt file for detailed
instructions.

2.2.1
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 QLA2310F/2310FL HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot
device is connected to the QLA2310F/2310FL 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
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals.
Some new system BIOSs support selectable boot, which supersedes the
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA FC hard disk in the system BIOS to boot from an FC hard
disk attached to the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA.

Troubleshooting
3.1
Problems After Installation
There are three basic types of installation problems that can cause your
QLA2310F/2310FL HBA to function incorrectly: hardware problems, system
configuration problems, and Fibre Channel problems. The following section
provides itemized checklists to help you determine why your QLA2310F/2310FL
HBA is not functioning.
3.2
Hardware Problem Checklist
■ Are all of the circuit cards installed securely in the system?
■ Are all of the cables securely connected to the correct connectors? Be sure that
the FC cables that attach from the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA connectors to the
device are connected correctly. For example, the optical transmit connector on
the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA must be connected to the optical receive connector
on the device. Some connectors require a firm push to ensure proper seating.
An easy way to check for correct seating is to switch the connectors on either
the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA or the device, then restart your system. If the BIOS
is enabled, devices attached to the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA are displayed on
the screen.
■ Is the QLA2310F/2310FL HBA installed correctly in the PCI slot? Is it seated
firmly in the slot? PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both
PCI and PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the slot type.
■ Check for interference due to nonstandard PCI connectors.
■ Is the Fast!UTIL data rate setting correct? See the appropriate readme.txt file
for information about setting the data rate.
■ Areallexternalperipheralsproperlypoweredup?Seetheappropriatereadme.txt

Fibre Channel Problem Checklist
■ Were all of the FC devices powered up before you powered up the PC?
■ Check that all cables are properly connected.
■ Have you configured your RAID controller using the utilities provided by the
manufacturer?
■ Some Fibre Channel switches support zoning. Make sure that your switch is
configured correctly.
■ Make sure that data rate setting on the QLA2310F/2310FL matches the target
device. Forexample, iftheQLA2310F/2310FLissetto2 Gb,setthetargetdevice
