Default
The following section describes the settings:
• Adapter BIOS—When this setting is Disabled, the ROM BIOS on the HBA is disabled, freeing
space in upper memory. This setting must be enabled if you are booting from an FC hard disk
attached to the HBA. The default is Disabled.
• Frame Size—Sspecifies the maximum frame length s uppor ted by the HBA. The default size is
2048, which provides maximum performance for F-Port (point-to-point) connections.
• Loop Reset Delay—After resetting the loop, the firmware refrains from initiating any loop activity
for the number of seconds specified in this setting. The default is 5 seconds.
• Adapter Hard Loop I D —Forces the adapter to attempt to use the ID specified in the Hard Loop
ID
setting. The default is Disabled.
• Hard Loop ID—If the Adapter Hard Loop ID setting is enabled, the adapter attempts to use the ID
specified in this setting. The default ID is 0.
• Spin Up Delay—When set, the BIOS waits up to two minutes to find the firstdrive. Thedefault is
Disabled,
• Connection Options—Defines the t ype of connection. The default is 2. The options are:
•0: loop
•1: point-to-point
• 2: loop preferred, then point-to-point
• Fibre Channel Tape Support—Enables FCP-2 recovery. The default is Enabled.
• Data Rate—Determines the data rate. The default is 2. The options are:
•0: 1 Gb/s
•1: 2 Gb/s
• 2: Auto-negotiates and determines the data rate.
•3: 4 Gb/s
Selectable Boot Settings
This option enables you to select the node name from which you want to boot. Once enabled, this option
forces the system to boot on the selected FC hard disk, ignoring any IDE hard disks attached to your
system. If you disable this o ption, the system looks for a boot device (as selected in the system BIOS). In
abled mode, the Boot ID and Boot LUN parameters have no effect.
dis
Some new system BIOS support selectable boot, which supersedes the Fast!UTIL selectable boot setting.
To boot from an FC hard disk attached to the HBA, select the HBA Fibre Channel hard disk on the

Electrostatic discharge
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up the
system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of
the
device.
To prevent e
• To avoid hand contact, transport and store products in static-safe containers.
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place part
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive comp onent o r assembly (see
"Groundi

s
methods" on page 32).
ng
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing static-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm (± 10 percent) resistance in the
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work m at.
If you do not have any of the recommended equipment for proper grounding, have an HP-authorized
reseller install the part.
NOTE:
For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, contact your
HP-authorized reseller.
