At a system level, you must ensure that all components conform to the Solution Matrix. CAUTION: Although the RevC PCI-X and PCI-e boards are functionally supported with Host Stack 3.4.5.x, the firmware upgrade utility cannot upgrade the RevC firmware. If you are using the Version 3.4.5 Host Stack, you must upgrade the Flint Utility in the driver. Host Stack 3.4.5.x and later fully support the RevC cards, including firmware upgrades using the Flint Utility. Refer to the following tables to identify the HCA for your platform. Because some clusters contain various HCA types, verify the HCA type in each node before upgrading.
