v.5.41.32 in order to avoid this failure.
Status: Fixed. Intel recommends using NIC driver set 5.0.1 v.5.40.11 or driver set 5.1.3
v.5.41.32 as the fix for this issue.

when this option has been set to “Disabled” in BIOS Setup.
Workaround: None.
Status: Fixed. This issue is fixed in SDS2 BIOS Production Release 2.1 (Build 44) and
later versions.
