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
QLA2342/2342L HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals.
Some new system BIOSs support selectable boot, which supersedes the
QLA2342/2342L HBA BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the QLA2342/2342L
HBA FC hard disk in the system BIOS to boot from an FC hard disk attached to the
QLA2342/2342L HBA.

After changing the settings and exiting the utility, Fast!UTIL restarts your system to
