**** Known Issues ****



If the install appears to hang, look around for popup windows requesting input which are

covered by other windows.  Such is the case on Server 2008 initial install - Answer 'yes'

to always trust the OpenFabrics Alliance as a SW publisher.





Please:

  Read the Release_notes.htm file!



  make 'sure' your Mellanox HCA firmware is recent:

      vstat.exe displays HCA firmware version & PSID.

      flint.exe (found at the Mellanox website, Windows firmware tools download package)

      displays PSID.



Thank you,



Mellanox and the OFED for Windows developers!
