operating

systems,

which

are

located

in

the

corresponding

To

update

the

adapter

BIOS

code

when

the

adapter

is

installed

in

the

server

with

an

Intel

32-Bit

processor

(IA-32),

an

Intel

Extended

Memory

64-Bit

Technology

(EM64T)

processor,

or

Advanced

Micro

Devices

64-Bit

(AMD-64)

architecture

only,

you

can

use

the

BIOS

Update

Utility

on

the

Support

CD

that

comes

with

the

adapter;

or

you

can

create

and

use

a

BIOS

Update

Utility

diskette.

When

the

adapter

is

installed

in

a

server

with

an

Intel

64-Bit

processor

(IA-64),

see

the

README

in

the

PCI-X

HBA

EFI

driver

package,

for

instructions

about

how

to

load

the

EFI

driver

(instead

of

BIOS

code)

and

update

the

NVRAM

settings

of

the

adapter.

Notes:

1.

The

recommended

method

of

updating

the

BIOS

and

the

adapter

NVRAM

settings

is

to

use

the

QLogic

SANsurfer

Pro

Utility

software.

2.

For

the

dual

port

version

of

the

FC

4Gbps

PCI-X

Adapter,

there

is

only

one

flash

BIOS

image

for

both

ports;

however,

each

port

will

have

its

own

NVRAM

setting.
