Configuring the HBAs26
Running Fast!UTIL
You configure the HBAs using Fast!UTIL, HP’s BIOS-resident configuration tool. To run Fast!UTIL:
1. Press ALT+Q during HBA BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL
Options menu to display).
2. If you have more than one HBA, Fast!UTIL asks you to select the HBA you want to configure.
3. Change the settings and exit the utility. Fast!UTIL reboots the system to load the new parameters.
Configuration Settings
Use Configuration Settings to configure the Fibre Channel devices and the HBA to which they
connect.
Adapter Settings
From the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL, select Adapter Settings. Table 5 lists the
default settings for the HBA.
