Precautions

software.
On Windows, you need to install utility software, HFCTools, separately. Since HFCTools
has a dependence on the driver interface, you have to install an appropriate version of
HFCTools suitable for the driver. For information of the version of the utility software, refer
to "Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter User's Guide (Support Matrix Edition)".
You need to convert driver parameters when updating or downgrading driver between the
version X.Y.Z.440 and the version X.Y.Z.530 on Windows because the parameter format is
different. Refer to 'hfcmig [Windows only]' for details.
