I extracted the installer and its files to the location as described in the technical guide and ran QatSetup.exe.
The firmware is found in C:\Windows\System32\Driver\icpQATFW\
I also try installing pfsense Pro to isolate the problem, but it did not work.
Therefore, the cause seems to be the hardware or its configuration, not the Windows driver.
Thank you very much for your support.

Hello, apologies for the issues.
As BrusC has commented, after the QatSetup.exe driver installation please make sure the <QAT_Driver>\icpQATFW folder (typically this is "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\icpQATFW" exists and has the following two files: qat_c3xxx.bin and qat_c3xxx_mmp.bin.
If both files are present, we probably need to do a debug trace to determine why the driver is not coming up.
A debug trace can be done with the following:
- Uninstall any traces of the QAT driver, reboot the target system.
- Open command prompt and change to a directory to store the trace.
- Start a logman trace via command: logman start qat_wpp -o qatwpp.etl -p "{f1057c32-3432-43ee-a282-c8a7086d25d9}" 0xff 255 -ets
- Install the QAT driver via QatSetup.exe
- Stop the logman trace via command: logman stop qat_wpp -ets
- This should produce a qatwpp.etl file located in the directory which the command was run. You can attach qatwpp.etl file here or email it to an Intel Rep. The qatwpp.etl is not supposed to contain any identifiable information.

I got the debug trace as you instructed.
I also confirmed that two firmware files were newly stored in the icpQATFW folder after this run.

Thank you for the quick response.
We're analyzing the WPP file and our initial observation, it looks like a SAL service initialization failed (see picture of trace).
Apologies, but if you could collect some more information, do you know what the value of the QAT "ServicesEnabled" registry key is? After installing the driver package, you can find it at the following location:
- Open registry editor by (Ctrl + R) and type regedit
- Browse to the following folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_19E2&SUBSYS_00008086&REV_11\{GUID}\Device Parameters\General
Note that {GUID} is unique per system, I've attached a screenshot of my system for reference. - The ServicesEnabled key should be of value 'sym;dc'
Your value should be 'sym;dc'. If that is the case, then it means that the software appears properly configured, and it is pointing to a hardware error. In that event, if you still want to pursue this, we will likely need to do a live debug session to gather more information.
Thanks

I checked the registry value and it is "sym;dc".
How do I do a live debug session?

I'll ask our Rep what the proper procedure here is.
