Enablement Inbox OS Drivers
############################
Enablement inbox drivers have been added to some OSes for initial launch of PERC12 controllers. These drivers are for OS install only and have limited performance and controller management functionality.
Management Applications such as PERCCLI2 and OpenManage will not work with these drivers. Enablement drivers can be identified with version numbers "0.255.xxx.xxx", "3.xxx.xxx.xxx", or "8.0.0.xx.0".
PERC12 driver "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" should be installed as soon as possible or applied during OS install to enable full performance and management functionality of PERC12 controllers.

Windows 2022 Inbox OS Driver
############################
The enablement driver "3.0.71.90" for Windows 2022 has known issues with Multi-CPU (2/4 CPU) and large core count CPU configurations that can cause OS to crash
when loading the driver. It is recommended to install the latest "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" driver during OS install or as soon as possible after the install.
If facing issues with crashes during OS installation it is recommended to disable Logical Processors and reduce CPU core count to 16 or less cores per CPU from
the HII BIOS/UEFI settings menu. After installing the latest "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" HBA12 driver these settings can be set back to default.
Additionally, running PERCCLI2 or Open Manage with inbox "3.0.71.90" driver can cause OS to crash. Please install "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" driver before using these management
applications In Windows 2022.
