Novell NetWare* 6.5 Emulex* LP9802DC driver fails to load

Issue: The Emulex* LP9802DC PCI-X fibre channel host adapter works as expected
when installed in the Intel® SE7520AF2 server board with Microsoft
Windows* and supported Linux configurations. However, when the adapter is
installed with NetWare* 6.5, the driver is not recognized by this operating
system . NetWare fails to recognize both driver versions 2.00c and 2.02g. The
likely source for this failure is a conflict between the NetWare operating system
and the PCI-X bridge chip that is used on the LP9802DC adapter.
Implication: The Emulex LP9802DC adapter driver is not recognized by Novell NetWare*
6.5.
Workaround : The Emulex LP10000DC adapter is a compatible, next generation
bridgeless solution, which offers the same feature set with increased
performance, works as expected under Novell NetWare 6.5 and has been
validated as a supported adapter on current Intel platforms.
Status: Intel is currently working with Emulex to investigate a fix for this issue.

Sony* Tape Drives fully supportive with SE7520AF2 BIOS P07

Issue: Sony* tape drives with certain PNs (part numbers) may not be fully supportive
with previous SE7520AF2 BIOS versions.
Implication: Sony* tape drives with below PNs may not be fully supportive on SE7520AF2
until systems are upgraded to include BIOS P07 or later versions.
Workaround: None.
Status: No fix.
6.6 Seagate* SCSI Hard Disks Drives supportive with SE7520AF2
BIOS P07
Issue: Seagate* SCSI Hard Disks Drives with certain PNs (part numbers) may not be
supportive with previous SE7520AF2 BIOS versions.
Implication: Seagate* SCSI Hard Disks Drives with below PNs may not be supportive on
SE7520AF2 until systems are upgraded to include BIOS P07 or later versions.
