AD221A, AD222A, and AD393A PCIe 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet Combination Card Overview

Product Overview: AD221A, AD222A, and AD393A

Known Issues

Following is a list of the known problems of the product:

• JAGag47127/QXCR1000591312 -- FC ports not recognized at the EFI level on HP Integrity

Superdome sx2000, rx8640, or rx7640 servers. This will be fixed in a forthcoming system

firmware update. AD221A/AD222A/AD393A are not supported on HP Integrity Superdome

sx2000, rx8640, or rx7640 servers until the system firmware update becomes available.

• JAGag47129 -- EFI ftp put fails with EFI driver. Results in error printed out “snp->undi.transmit()

8000h:4h“. The problem only occurs during EFI ftp put (push) not during get (pull). It does not

affect LAN boot. It only affects the ability to transfer files out to other systems at the EFI level.

This will be fixed in a forthcoming EFI driver update.
