HP Emulex Adapters Release Notes

Additional resources
HP maintains the SPOCK website as the primary source of detailed information about HP storage
product configurations, including operating system, software, and firmware version support. For
the latest information about storage array support, see the HP SPOCK website at http://
www.hp.com/storage/spock. It is essential to sign up for HP Passport to enable access.
Some HBA/CNA download kits include a readme.txt file that may contain additional information
about installing firmware and drivers, plus enhancements and fixes in the current release. Information
in the readme.txt file supersedes this and other HP Emulex documents.
Product models
This section lists the HBAs and CNAs that are supported on ProLiant and Integrity servers. Although
CNAs have FCoE, NIC, and iSCSI functionality, this document addresses FCoE functionality only.
Table 1 (page 3) describes the CNAs and server LOMs (LAN on motherboard) supported on
servers running Windows, Linux, VMware, or Citrix operating systems.
NOTE: The Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) is a European Union directive
that restricts the use of certain hazardous materials in the manufacture of electronic and electrical
equipment.
