This chapter describes how to install and configure the QLogic Host Bus Adapter
in three simple steps:
Step 1. Install the Hardware
Step 2. Install the Adapter Driver
Step 3. Install QConvergeConsole®
Step 1. Install the Hardware
To install the adapter hardware, you need to open the computer and locate the
appropriate bus slot. If necessary, consult your computer system manual for
instructions to remove the computer cover.

and external components.
2. Disconnect the power cable.
3. Remove the computer cover and find an appropriate empty bus slot.
CAUTION
Keep the adapter in the antistatic bag until installation. The Host Bus
Adapter contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Before handling the Host Bus Adapter, use standard methods to
discharge static electricity. Place the Host Bus Adapter on the bag when
examining it. Retain the bag for future use.
NOTE
The QOE2562 installation procedure differs from these adapter models; see
“Installing the QOE2562 Adapter” on page 8
