Workaround The type of workaround depends on whether you are using the AH400A or

Data Controller
If you are using the AH400A or AH401A as a data controller, follow these steps:
1. Check the Engineering Date Code (EDC) on your controller before installing
into an Integrity server running Windows Server 2008. If it is A-4832 or
newer, go to step 6.
2. Download the ASPM/MSI-X Vector update utility to a USB flash drive from
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/servers/software/WindowsIntegrity/. See the latest
version of the Release Notes at http://docs.hp.com for the latest information
about this utility and file name.
3. Install the controller.
4. Boot to the EFI Shell.
