IODIAG
QXCR1000585287 (JAGag39775), QXCR1000585265 (JAGag39740)
There are known defects with the EFI driver for the AD299A, AD355A, AD221A, AD222A, and AD393A
controllers when attached to peripherals. While running a test using the IODIAG tool, the IODIAG tool prints
the debug output in the form of hex dumps. Also, the IODIAG tool encounters intermittent traps and hangs. HP
recommends that you test these devices without attaching the controllers. You can obtain the fix for this defect
after the release of the EFI drivers for the controllers.
