The QLA22xx board is an intelligent, high-performance, DMA bus master host adapter designed for high-end systems. The intelligence and performance are derived from the ISP22xx chips, making the QLA22xx board a leading-edge host adapter. The ISP22xx combines a powerful 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 QLA22xx board supports all FC peripherals FC0151103-00 E 1-1 What is Fibre Channel? 1 – Introduction that support private loop direct attach (PLDA) and fabric loop attach (FLA). Installation of the QLA22xx board is quick and easy. 1.2 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 of 100 Mbytes/sec on copper and optical interfaces. The QLA2200/2200L board uses a copper interface for short connections (less than 30 meters); the QLA2200F/2202F/2204F/2212F board uses a multimode optical interface for intermediate distances (less than 500 meters); the QLA2200G board uses a GBIC, which can be either a single mode or multimode optical interface for long distances (greater than 500 meters). With increased connectivity and performance, Fibre Channel is the technology preferred and used by system designers. 1.3 Features 1-2 ■ Compliance with PCI version 2.2 specification ■ Compliance with Third Generation Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH-3) standard ■ Compliance with Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL-2) 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 QLA22xx board and attached drives ■ Two independent channels on a single board (QLA2202F board) ■ Two independent channels, one of which supports internal and external connection (QLA2212F) ■ Four independent channels on a single board (QLA2204F board) ■ Supports Fibre Channel SCSI (FCP-SCSI) and internet protocol (IP) protocols ■ Supports point-to-point fabric connection (F-PORT FABRIC LOGIN) FC0151103-00 E Section 2 Hardware Installation 2.1 Preinstallation Procedures Before installing your QLA22xx board, take a moment to read this guide.

QLA2212F Board Layout 2.3 Power Distribution The QLA2200/2200L board supplies +5 volts to pin 7 of the HSSDC copper interface to support an external media interface adapter (MIA), if required. (An MIA converts copper bus signals to optical bus signals.) 2.4 Installation in the Computer Perform the following steps to install the QLA22xx board in your PC: 1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to accommodate the QLA22xx board. The QLA22xx board 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 host adapter boards, bus master slots, and interrupt request (IRQ) levels. If the motherboard supports triggering, use level triggering for the QLA22xx board. 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. 2-6 FC0151103-00 E 2 – Hardware Installation Installation in the Computer 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 QLA22xx board must be in a PCI bus master slot. (Some motherboards have PCI bus master slots that are shared with onboard devices. QLA22xx boards do not work in shared slots.) ❑ PCI connectors vary among system board manufacturers. The QLA22xx board is a 64-bit PCI device that can function in a 32-bit PCI slot that conforms to the PCI specification (the rear edge of the PCI slot is notched). If you try to install the QLA22xx board into a PCI slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you may damage the QLA22xx board. ❑ The 66-MHz QLA22xx boards (indicated by /66 in their name) are backward compatible; consequently, they can be used in a 33-MHz slot. 5. Unscrew and remove the slot cover. Retain the screw; you will use it when you install the QLA22xx board. 6. Place the QLA22xx board into the slot. Carefully press the board into the slot until it seats firmly. 7. Secure the QLA22xx board to the chassis with the slot cover screw. 8. Connect the appropriate cable from the devices to the corresponding connector: ❑ J1 (QLA2200/2200F/2202F/2200L) ❑ J1 and J2 (QLA2202F/2212F) ❑ J3 and J4 (QLA2212F). These are three-position point-to-point adapters connected to J1. J3 is the transmit connector; J4 is the receive connector. ❑ J1 through J4 (QLA2204F) ❑ J6 (QLA2200G) 9. Carefully reinstall the computer cover. Insert and tighten the computer cover screws. FC0151103-00 E 2-7 Installation Help 2 – Hardware Installation 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 QLA22xx board are not identified. For example: QLogic Corporation QLA22xx PCI Fibre Channel ROM BIOS Version X.XX Copyright (C) QLogic Corporation 2000 All rights reserved. www.qlogic.com Press <Alt-Q> for Fast!UTIL BIOS for Adapter 0 is disabled ROM BIOS not installed NOTE: ❑ Sun SPARC systems do not display the BIOS banner. ❑ Enable the BIOS only if the boot device is attached to the QLA22xx board. ❑ For further information about enabling the QLA22xx BIOS, see appendix A. If the information displayed on your monitor is correct, congratulations! You have successfully installed the QLA22xx board in your computer. See the appropriate QLogic software installation guide for detailed instructions on how to install the software drivers. If the information displayed is not correct and you have checked the QLA22xx board’s configuration, see section 3 for troubleshooting information. 2.5 Installation Help If your system has an integrated drive electronics (IDE) fixed disk device, it may be assigned device number 80, which is the boot device. If your system does not have an IDE disk device, the first bootable FC disk device configured (the one with the lowest ID) is assigned device number 80 and becomes the boot device. The QLA22xx BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is connected to the QLA22xx. If you have a selectable boot BIOS, set the motherboard BIOS parameters to None or Not Installed. The ROM BIOS on the FC controller automatically configures the FC peripherals. 2-8 FC0151103-00 E Section 3 Troubleshooting 3.1 Problems After Installation There are three basic types of installation problems that can cause your QLA22xx board to function incorrectly: hardware problems, system configuration problems, and Fibre Channel problems. The following section provides itemized checklists to help you determine why your QLA22xx board 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 QLA22xx connectors to the device are connected correctly. For example, the optical transmit connector on the board should 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 is to switch the connectors on either the QLA22xx or the device, then reboot your system. If the BIOS is enabled, devices attached to the QLA22xx board are displayed on the screen. ■ Is the QLA22xx board installed correctly in the PCI slot? Is it seated firmly in the slot? Check for interference due to nonstandard PCI connectors. ■ Is the GBIC on the QLA2200G fully seated? ■ Are all external peripherals properly powered up? See appendix A.3 for information about displaying attached devices. 3.3 System Configuration Problem Checklist All PCI-compliant systems automatically detect 32- or 64-bit boards and set the appropriate bus speed (33 or 66 MHz). Check the motherboard for proper configuration (see section 2.4). See the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact your computer dealer to determine if your motherboard requires special configuration.
