Compatibility Notes
This section contains a list of notes that are not documented in the online guides or otherwise described.
1.The Spanning Tree Protocol on some routers can delay the login sequence. As a result, since the adapter attempts to login to the targets during system start, this could result in a delayed boot sequence for the host computer. Disable the Spanning Tree Protocol on the router.
2.When the adapter is being actively used, the adapter will respond to the configuration application's requests slower than when the adapter is in a quiescent state.
4.When specifying a speed through the configuration application, the switches and routers must support that speed. If not, the host will lose any attached hard disks. Either use the "Auto Negotiation" feature or ensure that the switches and routers can support the specific speed.
5.The adapter does not support MTU sizes less than 570 bytes. Ensure that the switches and routers on your network support MTU sizes greater than 570 bytes.
6.If using a Gateway* 7400 computer, do not install the Intel PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter into any slots on PCI BUS 0. The adapter will work correctly in any slot on PCI BUS 1.
7.If using a Gateway 7400 computer, the system may not boot if both a QLogic* Fibre Channel adapter and the PRO/1000 T IP storage adapter are installed. If this occurs, you must remove one of the two adapters.
