**** 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!
