Windows Blue Screen error while booting from iSCSI target and Intel i350 initiator

Description:
Using Windows 2016 in-box Intel iSCSI drivers for boot from the iSCSI target, an error is encountered: STOP 0x7B Inaccessible Boot Device Blue Screen while booting from Intel i350-t Adapter initiator. This issue is limited to the in-box Intel i350 driver in the Windows 2016 operating system installation media images.
Workaround:
Dell EMC has released a new out of the box Intel i350 driver package that carries the fix for this issue. Download the drivers from the Dell support site for your respective server. By performing the following steps, you can manually choose Intel iSCSI driver during the Windows installation:
  1. Unzip the files from the Network_Driver_3PT51_WN64_18.0.0_A00.exe Dell Update Package (DUP) to a USB thumb drive by running following command from an elevated command prompt: 
    Network_Driver_XXXXX_WN64_XX.X.X_A00.exe /s /drivers=C:\mydir
  2. Click Load Driver and choose the new driver from the USB drive that you had unzipped.
  3. Complete the installation using this new driver.
