QLA2342 - PCI Configuration Error
Hello group !
i bought a used QLA2342. The card seems to work fine, because the sansurfer-application recognizes it correct, but i can't connect to the disk i connected to it for testing. Also i can't enter the BIOS of the card. When i press Ctrl-Q nothing happens. When i boot my system i get the message "PCI CONFIGURATION ERROR". I found out that the nvram should be corupted and need to reset. QLOGIC didn't gave the needed information (and files) to me, because the card is an OEM-Card. So i want to ask if there is any guy here who can tell me how to reset the nvram ? kind regardes, Stephan |

It may not even have a BIOS like a card for an intel based server might expect. |

It may not even have a BIOS like a card for an intel based server might expect. I don't know if the card was for an intel server or not. On the card is only the serial number and, what i found out in the last days, the OEM- Product-ID (the card was sold by NetApp, or in a NetApp-System). When i have boot my system, the card is found by the sansurfer- application and shows the BIOS-Version and the settings. |

This card was made for a dedicated NAS/SAN device, not a PC. Your best bet it to just sell the thing to a netapp dealer or user and get a normal FC card. If it has a Netapp sticker on it, it's likely to be worth more than a normal and plain FC card. |

But at least i bring it to work If anybody else get into the same trouble: -i first updated to the latest BIOS Version for my board (ASUS P5WDG2 WS Pro; V0905) -after that the order of the PCI-X-Slots had changed, so i did what i have planed befor: change the cards in the PCI-X-Slots -so now i have the Adaptec 39160 in PCI-X-1 and the QLA2342 in PCI-X-2 and both are working fine. |
