Introduction
The following QLogic™ host adapter boards are collectively referred to as the QLA2xxx board unless otherwise noted:
•
•
QLA2200 (64-bit PCI to Fibre Channel copper media)
QLA2200F (64-bit PCI to Fibre Channel optical media)
General Description
Thank you for selecting the QLA2xxx Fibre Channel (FC) board. The QLA2xxx board is an intelligent, high-performance, Direct Memory Access (DMA) bus master host adapter designed for highend systems. The intelligence and performance are derived from the ISP2xxx chips, making the QLA2xxx board a leading-edge host adapter. The ISP2xxx combines a powerful reduced-instruction Set Computer (RISC) processor, a Fibre Protocol Module (FPM) with gigabit transceivers, and a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) local bus interface in a single-chip solution. The QLA2xxx board supports all FC peripherals that support Private Loop Direct Attach (PLDA) and Fabric Loop Attach (FLA). Installation of the QLA2xxx board is quick and easy.
Features
•Compliance with Intel® PCI version 2.1 specification
•Compliance with Third Generation Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH-3) standard
•Compliance with Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) standard
•Compliance with U.S. and international safety and emissions standards
•Support for bus master DMA
•Fast!UTIL BIOS utility to customize the configuration parameters on the QLA2xxx board and attached drives

Hardware Installation
Preinstallation Procedures
Before installing your QLA2xxx board, take a moment to read this guide.
CAUTION: The QLA2xxx board contains parts that can be damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Before handling the QLA2xxx board, use standard methods to discharge static electricity. Keep the QLA2xxx board 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.
Refer to the “Safety Information” section of your system documentation for specific safety guidelines. Some Dell™ systems can only be serviced by trained service technicians.
What You Need for Installation
Before you install the QLA2xxx board in your computer, you need the following:
•A screwdriver (usually a Phillips #1)
•A High-Speed, Serial Data Connector (HSSDC) cable for the QLA2200 board
•An optical, multimode cable with an SC-style duplex connector for the QLA2200F board Figure 2-1identifies the QLA2xxx board components referenced throughout this section.
Each QLA2xxx board has a unique serial number; its location on the board is noted in Figure 2-1. Take a minute to write down the serial number of the QLA2xxx board in the unlikely event that the Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) is corrupted. If the NVRAM is corrupted, you will be prompted for the QLA2xxx serial number.

Power Supply
The QLA2xxx board supplies +5 volts to pin 7 of the HSSDC copper interface to support an external media interface adapter (MIA).
Installation in the Computer
NOTE: Due to multiple system configurations, these instructions provide a general description of the installation procedure. Please consult your system’s user guide for any specific installation procedures.
1.Power down the peripherals, and then turn off the computer.
2.Remove the computer cover, if necessary, and slot cover and save the screws (if there are any).
3.Unscrew and remove the slot cover. Retain the screw; you will use it when you install the QLA2xxx board.
4.Place the QLA2xxx board into the slot. Carefully press the board into the slot until it seats firmly.
