5. Driver Version 9.1.2.11 Minimum supported driver due to compatibility reasons.
6. EMC does not support booting from external arrays if the boot LUN uses a FAT32 file system and Powerpath is installed. For Powerpath/Boot support, NTFS must be used.
7. EMC provides documentation for boot configurations that contains helpful information for systems booting from EMC storage. Visit EMC Powerlink and download part number
300−000−603 for the Windows Host Connectivity Guide.
8. EMC recommends upgrading to the most recent, EMC−Approved, HBA driver.
9. BIOS 2.02a1
10. Driver Version 2.42a0
11. Driver Version 2.41a1 SCSI FC Port driver
12. Firmware Version 1.92a1
13. EMC provides in−depth documentation for configurations with Emulex adapters that contains helpful information for installing and configuring Emulex adapters with EMC Storage.
Visit the EMC driver page on the Emulex website (http://www.emulex.com/ts/docoem/emc/index.html) and download part number 300−001−157 for guide "EMC Host Connectivity with
Emulex Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and Converged Network Adapters (CNAs) in the Windows Environment."
14. Windows 2000 hosts running less than SP4 could be susceptible to data loss during LUN expansion operations. This issue is corrected by Microsoft in SP4, or by applying hotfix
327020. See EMC Solution IS emc73538 and Microsoft Knowledge Base article 327020 for more information.

24. Driver Version 2.41a1 As of 2.40a2 Microsoft will no longer allow the Emulex Port Driver to be used in any HCT LOGO solution or block submissions. The Port driver is still digitally
signed, but STORPort drivers will be required for all new HCT LOGO solution and block submissions. END OF LIFE NOTICE: SCSI miniport and SCSI full port drivers are frozen and
EOL at this time for Windows 2003 operating systems. EMC recommends migrating to the currently supported STORPort driver for your HBA. EMC will continue to support existing
customers who have Windows 2003 SCSI drivers installed, but any fixes or HCL support will require an upgrade to STORPort. Refer to SalesAdvantage articles for the benefits of
using STORPort drivers and information on migrating from SCSI to STOR under Windows 2003. SCSI drivers listed in the April 2006 ESM will be the last supported SCSI drivers for
Windows 2003.

supported.
28. When booting from an external storage array, press F1 during server POST and set BIOS Start Options to point to the bus slot containing the SAN boot adapter (Default is Planar
SCSI.)
29. Firmware Version 1.90a5
30. EMC VolumeLogix Software required for multiple BladeServers when direct−attached to EMC Symmetrix storage.
31. Driver Version 9.1.4.15 Requires Microsoft STORPort hotfix Q903081. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];903081 Requires Microsoft STORPort hotfix

To obtain this hotfix, fill out the hotfix request form at http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=943545&kbln=en−us STORPort Miniport Driver
32. Driver Version 9.1.2.11 SCSI FC Port driver
33. Driver Version 9.1.2.11 This driver requires Microsoft SCSIPort hotfix Q883114. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];883114
34. BIOS 1.05
35. PowerPath supported. ATF/CDE not supported.
36. PowerEdge 2550 and PowerVault 775N support a maximum of 2 Emulex HBAs at one time and the total PCI power cannot exceed 20 Watts.
37. Emulex PCI−X and PCI−Express adapters including Qlogic 4Gb PCI−X and PCI−Express adapters are supported in the x346 (8840) only when IBM ServerRAID−7K (71P8642 or
30R8800) is installed with most current firmware and BIOS.
38. The Emulex LP9XXX HBA family requires a host PCI bus capable of supplying 3.3 VDC bus power. The PCI slot can use either 3.3 VDC or 5.0 VDC signaling interfaces.
39. For IBM xSeries Servers running Windows 2000 with IBM ServerRaid controller 4M, the ServerRaid Driver must be 6.00 or above for use with EMC PowerPath 3.0 and above. IBM
driver can be downloaded at:
http://www−3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR−39723
40. Includes both Pentium PRO and XEON models
41. This server is equipped with plastic shielding around the PCI slots. Since the PCI slots are 32−bit, this shielding prohibits 64−bit HBAs from properly seating in the PCI slots. To
accomodate 64−bit HBAs, this shielding must be removed, or modified to allow the 64−bit HBA to fully seat in the 32−bit slots.
42. Dual port PCI−X fibre channel mezzanine card option is embedded. No PCI/PCI−X slots available.
43. For external boot configurations running EMC Powerpath on Windows 2000, HP Proliant BL30p & BL35p require a minimum of Powerpath version 4.4.1.
44. BIOS 1.48
45. Not supported with Emulex LP8000−EMC HBA.
46. For AX100 configurations, only Dell PowerVault systems with dual CPUs are supported.
47. Due to the HS20's embedded FC−SW design, array lun masking is required to assign LUNS to each individual blade server.
48. FSC Fibre Channel module. Dual channel 2GBit/s HBA for BX6xx−series blade servers only.
49. BIOS 1.47
50. BX6xx−series systems use an embedded fibre channel controller. Contact Fujitsu Siemens to acquire the proper BIOS for the embedded fibre channel controller.
51. Support for 4GB fibre channel HBAs requires an IBM SPORE to be submitted to IBM with a request of system BIOS 56A.
52. BIOS 1.71a0
53. Firmware Version 1.91a5
54. EMC supported drivers, firmware, and boot BIOS can be downloaded from http://www.emulex.com in the EMC section, by obtaining the supported driver for the Emulex LP1050−E.
55. BIOS 1.43
56. This HBA is equivalent to the QLogic QLA2340.
57. Firmware Version 1.91a1

59. Refer to EMC Knowledgebase ID emc105679 for any special HBA drivers that may be required.
60. BIOS 1.26
61. Please see the HP website for supported BL c−Class model numbers.
The supported model numbers are available in the quickspecs documents available for each BL c−Class blade.
62. BIOS Multiboot v6.00a5 (3.00a4/4.00a1)
63. Requires minimum BIOS v4.01 rev A (5/17/2002) for use with Emulex HBAs.
64. HPQ Proliant ML350 (1GHz) : D04,F04 (11/13/2000) , HPQ Proliant ML350(600,733,800,866,933 MHz) : D02, F04 (11/13/2000).
65. Internal port(s) on Qlogic or McData 4Gb FC switch module(s) must be set to 4Gb (if 4Gb operation is required or to 2Gb if 2Gb operation is required)
66. Internal port(s) on QLogic or McData 4Gb FC switch module(s) must be set to 4Gb to SAN boot.
67. BIOS 3.02a6
68. If using Dell PERC Controller, requires PERC 2 or PERC 3 with OpenManager 3.0 and Array Manager 3.1. The afamgt.sys must be version 2.6.0.3486 (or above).
69. Dell PowerEdge 6450 does not support Emulex LP9802/DC HBAs.
70. BIOS 1.52
71. Systems running Stratus OS 1.2.2.X or 1.3 require MS hotfix Q327477 and VxVM 2.7 Hotfix 5A. Stratus OS 1.3.1 and above incorporates these hotfixes.
72. Bus Enumeration Issue Causes Problems using SYMCLI SCSI bus enumeration of disks will change depending on cold boot or warm boot. This causes symcli commands to fail
because the path is changed and SYMCLI can no longer communicate with the Symmetrix.
By "shutdown" and booting system, internal disks are assigned first, followed by Symmetrix disks.
By "restart" the system, Symmetrix disks are assigned first, followed by internal disks. Drive letter are not changed in both cases.
The workaround is to perform "symcfg discover" after rebooting.
73. Supports Stratus OS 1.3.X through 2.1.X.
74. QLogic SANSurfer/SANBlade Manager is not supported. Use QLogic SANCLI utility.
75. QLogic SanBlade Manager is not supported.
76. Supports Stratus OS 2.0.X through 2.1.X.
77. This dual port HBA is only supported on DELL PE 6850 in the right−most slot (seen from the rear of the server chassis) marked "FC"
78. BIOS 1.06
79. This HBA is equivalent to the QLogic QLA2310.
80. Host must be offline for interfamily Symmetrix microcode upgrade.
81. Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4 is supported. For more information on this Rollup and to download the necessary software, please see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en−us;891861
82. This server only supports 5 Volt HBAs: QLogic 22XX family (if applicable), QLogic 23XX family, Emulex LP8000, and Emulex LP850 (if applicable).
83. Proliant DL360 G4 servers with a BIOS prior to P52 may not be running a fully ACPI−compliant BIOS. Emulex 4gb HBAs require the latest ACPI−compliant BIOS and your server may
require Windows 2000 to be reinstalled. You do not need to reinstall Windows 2000 if you had an ACPI−compliant BIOS and then upgraded to a newer ACPI−compliant BIOS. You
only need to reinstall Windows 2000 if you did not have an ACPI BIOS or an ACPI−compliant BIOS before you upgraded the BIOS. Refer to Microsoft knowledge base article 256841
for more information. (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=256841&sd=RMVP)
