Tagged queueing is supported on ’W’ series adapters, ’C’ series adapters with firmware of rev 4.42 and higher, and ’S’ series adapters with firmware of rev 3.35 and higher.

Boards with certain firmware revisions may lock up under heavy load to certain devices, especially if tagged queueing is used. Should you encounter a problem with your adapter, contact Mylex technical support and ensure you have the latest firmware for your controller.
