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.

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

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.
