       Addressed SSRT101886  
       An iLO kernel crash after 40 or more days of uptime under certain operating
      systems can lead to an operating system crash. When this occurs, the iLO Event
      Log records a "Power restored to iLO" event at the time of the OS crash.  
       iLO might send multiple SNMP traps that show the Smart Array battery falsely
      changing status (SNMP trap ID 11020).  
       iLO firmware updates might stay at 1% and never finish.  
       ADH ciphers are accepted in iLO 4 when AES is enabled.  
       Incorrect information is displayed on the Information > System Information >
      Network page when there are similar MAC addresses.  
       SSDP advertisements have bad signatures and iLO Federation groups don't
      display all peers.  
       Power supply sensors are not illustrated in the Temperature graph.  
       The iLO Event Log reports that a firmware update failed even though the
      firmware was updated successfully with the HP SUM Scalable Update feature.  
       The .NET IRC disconnects unexpectedly when playing a captured video file.  
       The Ping Gateway on Startup network setting does not work.  
       In some cases, running the Advanced Power Capping Microcontroller Firmware
      causes future component updates to fail.  
       The UID LED might stop blinking when the Remote Console is still open after
      a system power cycle.  
       The invalid error "Duplicate record exists" occurs while adding a new
      directory group.  
       A user with the Virtual Power and Reset privilege cannot use the Swap ROM
      feature.  
       DL580 servers report an incorrect Power Redundancy state on removal of a
      power supply cable.  
       Intermittent missing OS name and version in get_server_name response.  
       iLO Dedicated Network Port options are displayed on DL60 servers, which
      support only the Shared Network Port configuration.  
       An incorrect error message is displayed when auto power-off is set via XML
      scripting during POST.  
       The Get_Embedded_Health.xml output displays incorrect iLO NIC information.  
       The user name is not displayed in the iLO Event Log when a Language Pack is
      uninstalled.  
       There is a discrepancy between the iLO web interface and XML scripting when
      an HP SSO record is added by DNS name.  
       The Serial Command Line Speed setting is not saved when the speed is changed
      in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.  
       LDAP does not work after updating from iLO firmware version 1.40 to 1.50.  
       New iLO Federation groups default to the power capping value from a
      previously deleted group.  
       The Link State NIC setting is displayed on the Network General Settings page
      for BL460t servers when this setting is not supported on server blades.  
       SNMP and SNMP trap ports cannot be set without the SNMP_ACCESS tag.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the AlertMail settings are
      changed via RIBCL and CLP.  
       The power redundancy status is incorrect when a mismatched power supply is
      inserted without a power cord.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the Remote Syslog settings
      are changed via RIBCL.  
       An incorrect error message occurs when the server name is set via XML during
      POST.  
       The Asset Tag can be configured via XML when the server is off.  
       An invalid domain name can be configured in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.  
       The iLO 4 Configuration Utility prompts the user to save and reset iLO when
      no change was made.  
       Cert_Request.xml does not display an error when invalid characters are used
      for the state, country and locality.  
       If the Delete SSH Key button is clicked when no SSH key is installed, the
      message "Public Key deleted" is displayed even though there was no installed
      SSH key.  
       When the RESTful Interface Tool is used to display the system ROM version,
      the output incorrectly displays the backup system ROM version.  
       The CLI does not display the oemhp_powercap information when power capping
      is disabled.  
       Multiple incorrect "faulty/unsupported power supply" messages are recorded
      in configurations that use the HP 800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module or the
      HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.  
       Pwrstat displays incorrect power supply status information for the HP
      800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module and the HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.  
       An intermittent virtual CD disconnection occurs during a system reboot.  
        
       Note: To address the "POODLE" security vulnerability, the iLO security policy
      has changed in version 2.03 and SSLv3 is now disabled. You might need to
      enable TLS (Transport Layer Security) in your browser in order to access the
      iLO web interface.  TLS is the successor to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer

changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
         Fixed detection of the Intel GPU sensor in Gen9 servers with the GPU. This
      allows  
          fans to be controlled more reasonably.  
         Staged ROM settings might be lost after CONREP is run if the server was
      reset before  
          iLO was reset.  
         The correct number of license seats is not displayed when 256 or more
      seats are  
          licensed.  
         Fixed an IPMI driver issue for Linux.  
         Fixed a Virtual Media disconnect issue.  
         Fixed a DHCP client renewal issue.  
         Alertmail webpage rejects email addresses with
      [wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz](mailto:wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz)  format  
         Fixed an IPMI boot option issue when using IPMI tool.  
         The set command in the iLO CLI does not finish on DL380 Gen9 servers.  
         The iLO IPv6 options are set to the default values when FIPS mode is
      enabled.  
         The iLO web interface hangs for a few minutes when a long string is
      entered for a  
          group firmware update.  
         Added an iLO workaround for IPMI tool boot parameter command options.  
         LDAP authentication fails when a password contains diacritic characters.  
         LDAP authentication might fail against a properly configured OpenLDAP
      server due to  
          protocol version restrictions.  
         iLO sends several multicast join/leave requests when disabling multicast.  
         iLO event logs that contain an IP address are dropped if the DNS lookup
      queue is  
          full. These events are now logged with (DNS name not found) in place of the DNS name.  
         The iLO web interface allows an iLO Federation Group Key with more than 32
      characters  
          when the character limit is 31.  
         The set_Boot_Mode.xml script fails when you use HPONCFG to set legacy mode
      for Gen8  
          servers.  
         The Firmware page incorrectly displays slot 0 for HP220i Host adapters.  
         The Asset Tag can be set via XML when the server is powered off, except
      for when  
          the server is in UEFI mode.  
         An Embedded Flash/SD-Card subsystem failure is not logged in iLO Event
      log.  
         iLO does not reset when Active Health System logging is enabled via XML.  
         An iLO event log entry is not recorded when network settings are modified  
          by using the CLI.  
         The floppy disc boot options always, never, and once are displayed in the
      Gen9 CLI,  
          but these features are not supported.  
         A TPM Caution message is not displayed when a new language pack is
      installed.  
         The tooltip on the Device Inventory page does not disappear when you click  
          outside the table.

            * Added Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) link support for accessing iLOs and Interconnects. 
          * **IPv6**
            * The OA fully supports operation in a mixed IPv4/IPv6 or IPv6-only management network including management of IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices such as iLO and interconnect modules. To use IPv6 networking, you should review the  OA IPv6 settings and customize them as necessary for your specific IPv6 environment. Note that if routing between IPv6 management networks is required, the routing configuration of the OA and enclosure infrastructure devices may be performed either via external IPv6 router advertisements or, starting with OA 4.20, via static configuration of an IPv6 gateway. After completing the necessary IPv6 configuration of the OA, you may then access any IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices via its supported user interfaces and perform management actions from the OA.
            * Modified factory default state of IPv6 enclosure level settings (IPv6, DHCPv6, and SLAAC) from "disabled" to "enabled" by default to better support default connectivity to the OA in IPv6-only management network environments. Note that updating to OA 4.20 will not change the configuration of these settings but any subsequent reset to factory defaults will result in these settings being enabled. Any previously saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately.
            * Added support for configuration of a static IPv6 gateway as an addition to the previously existing static IPv6 network settings for the OA module.
            * Added support for configuration of an IPv6 gateway for blade server iLOs and interconnect modules via the Enclosure Bay IP Addressing for IPv6 feature.
          * **Interconnects**
            * Added two new CLI commands to support the "BLc SX1018HP" switch only: 
              * SET INTERCONNECT ADMIN_PASSWORD FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - resets the Interconnect management password back to the factory setting.
              * SET INTERCONNECT FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - performs a factory reset on the Interconnect.
          * **SNMP**
            * In some instances, SNMP changes successfully configured from the OA user interface can fail to be processed properly most notably resulting in the OA failing to send SNMP traps to configured SNMP alert destinations.  
      
      
        * **Browser Support **
          * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11.
          * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24.
          * Google Chrome.

        * **Features Additions and Changes**
          * **General**
            * Support for configuration of boot order settings for UEFI-capable blades operating in UEFI boot mode.
            * Enhanced the existing RESET ILO OA CLI command to remotely perform a hardware-based reset of iLO.  This hardware-based reset is only supported on Gen9 server blades and is equivalent to the iLO reset that can be manually performed using the UID button on a Gen9 server blade.  Note that this iLO reset can be performed without impact to the operating state of the associated server.
          * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
            * Support for clearing all existing EFM log data stored in the OA, including both the OA EFM log and the server-specific Firmware and Session logs.
          * **Security**
            * Support for customizing secure connection protocols and ciphers to be used by the OA when it is operating with FIPS Mode enabled. This configuration is only accessible and used by the OA when the OA is configured in either FIPS Mode ON or FIPS Mode DEBUG.
            * Support for configuration of the client request timeout settings on the OA web server. These settings are configurable using the new OA CLI SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command. 
          * **IPv6**
            * Support for a new **Enable Router Advertisements** enclosure-level IPv6 setting. Router Advertisements from the external management network are allowed onto the internal enclosure management network when this setting is enabled and blocked when it is disabled. 
            * Support for manual configuration of up to three static IPv6 network routes associated with the OA network interface.
            * Support on the Standby OA GUI **TCP/IP Settings>IPv6Settings** tab for configuring and reporting certain IPv6 settings.
          * **DNS **
            * Improved DNS server redundancy reporting on the Active OA and Standby OA GUI** TCP/IP Settings** screens  and via the CLI SHOW OA NETWORK and SHOW NETWORK commands.  Depending on how many DNS servers are configured, the Onboard Administrator can employ up to six DNS servers for lookups: two IPv4 DNS servers (either static or DHCP assigned, but not both) and four IPv6 DNS servers (static or DHCP assigned, or both). For more information, see the OA user guides.

      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **Problems Fixed**
      
      **General**
      
        * In rare cases, the OA may fail to successfully identify server blades that have been either physically inserted into the enclosure or have been reset by executing the OA CLI RESET SERVER command.  When this issue occurs, the affected server blades are misidentified as an unsupported blade type.
        * Restoring or configuring OA settings from a saved configuration script may fail to apply all network settings on the Standby OA module. The failing configuration script commands return the following error: "An error occurred while communicating with the other Onboard Administrator." 
        * The RSA key for SSH is not properly exchanged with the Standby OA during an OA failover event when Enclosure IP Mode is enabled. After an OA failover event, when logging into the OA, SSH clients using the Enclosure IP address to access the Active OA may display an RSA key fingerprint warning message or "man-in-the-middle" security breach warning message.  This issue only occurs on OA 4.1x or OA 4.2x versions of OA firmware when the OA has been factory reset or new SSH keys were manually generated.  
        * The OA periodically reboots with the following entry logged in the OA system log:"OA: DHCP Monitor: DHCPD or RADVD is not running. Restarting OA." 
        * In an IPv6-only management network environment with the VLAN feature enabled, the CONNECT SERVER OA CLI command fails to connect to the server blade serial console with an error displayed similar to the following: Connecting to bay 1 ... iLO failed to respond: Interrupted system call (4)
      **Browsers**
      
        * After logging in to the OA GUI via the Google Chrome browser (Chrome-v34.0.1847.116 m or greater), the OA web application fails to load properly. The OA GUI login screen may display the warning: "Your browser does not have the required functionality to run the application." 
        * When using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the results of a configuration script fail to load properly after uploading and executing a configuration script using a local file from the OA web GUI. This issue was seen only when more than one script was uploaded without refreshing the page
      **EBIPA**  
      
        * Enclosure devices (including interconnect modules) fail to be configured with the Link Local address corresponding to the IPv6 gateway specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings.  This issue only occurs when an IPv6 other than the Link Local address of the gateway is specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings and will only occur for certain gateway server devices.
      **Serial Console**  
      
        * When logging in to connect to the OA via the serial port, if a user enters the **@** key as part of the login user name or password, the entered line is erased. 
        * When the baud rate for the OA serial port is configured to a value greater than the default 9600, attempts to directly paste saved commands or text into an open OA serial console session results in truncation or corruption of the pasted data. 
      **SNMP**  
      
        * No response received to a UDP network request sent from a client to an enclosure device such as iLO or an interconnect module. This issue was specifically observed when an SNMP request was sent to an interconnect module.

          * Added support for HP OneView management of enclosure configurations that do not include HP Virtual Connect interconnect modules.  
      
      
        * **Version 4.30 Features Additions and Changes: **
          * **New Hardware Support:**
            * HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server
            * Smart Array 12Gb SAS Controller
            * HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter
            * HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650M Adapter
            * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB Adapter
            * HP Adapters QDR/EN 10Gb & FDR/EN 40Gb 544+M
            * HP 2650W High Voltage Power Supply
            * HP High Voltage Power Module
          * **General:**
            * Support for configuration of boot order settings for UEFI-capable blades operating in UEFI boot mode.
            * Enhanced the existing RESET ILO OA CLI command to remotely perform a hardware-based reset of iLO.  This hardware-based reset is only supported on Gen9 server blades and is equivalent to the iLO reset that can be manually performed using the UID button on a Gen9 server blade.  Note that this iLO reset can be performed without impact to the operating state of the associated server.
          * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
            * Support for clearing all existing EFM log data stored in the OA, including both the OA EFM log and the server-specific Firmware and Session logs.
          * **Security**
            * Support for customizing secure connection protocols and ciphers to be used by the OA when it is operating with FIPS Mode enabled. This configuration is only accessible and used by the OA when the OA is configured in either FIPS Mode ON or FIPS Mode DEBUG.
            * Support for configuration of the client request timeout settings on the OA web server. These settings are configurable using the new OA CLI SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command. 
          * **IPv6**
            * Support for a new **Enable Router Advertisements** enclosure-level IPv6 setting. Router Advertisements from the external management network are allowed onto the internal enclosure management network when this setting is enabled and blocked when it is disabled. 
            * Support for manual configuration of up to three static IPv6 network routes associated with the OA network interface.
            * Support on the Standby OA GUI **TCP/IP Settings>IPv6Settings** tab for configuring and reporting certain IPv6 settings.
          * **DNS **
            * Improved DNS server redundancy reporting on the Active OA and Standby OA GUI** TCP/IP Settings** screens  and via the CLI SHOW OA NETWORK and SHOW NETWORK commands.  Depending on how many DNS servers are configured, the Onboard Administrator can employ up to six DNS servers for lookups: two IPv4 DNS servers (either static or DHCP assigned, but not both) and four IPv6 DNS servers (static or DHCP assigned, or both). For more information, see the OA user guides.

  -     *Firmware Dependency**
      
      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **No new issues were resolved in Version 4.31.  
        
      Problems Fixed in Version 4.30:**
      
      **General**
      
        * In rare cases, the OA may fail to successfully identify server blades that have been either physically inserted into the enclosure or have been reset by executing the OA CLI RESET SERVER command.  When this issue occurs, the affected server blades are misidentified as an unsupported blade type.
        * Restoring or configuring OA settings from a saved configuration script may fail to apply all network settings on the Standby OA module. The failing configuration script commands return the following error: "An error occurred while communicating with the other Onboard Administrator." 
        * The RSA key for SSH is not properly exchanged with the Standby OA during an OA failover event when Enclosure IP Mode is enabled. After an OA failover event, when logging into the OA, SSH clients using the Enclosure IP address to access the Active OA may display an RSA key fingerprint warning message or "man-in-the-middle" security breach warning message.  This issue only occurs on OA 4.1x or OA 4.2x versions of OA firmware when the OA has been factory reset or new SSH keys were manually generated.  
        * The OA periodically reboots with the following entry logged in the OA system log:"OA: DHCP Monitor: DHCPD or RADVD is not running. Restarting OA." 
        * In an IPv6-only management network environment with the VLAN feature enabled, the CONNECT SERVER OA CLI command fails to connect to the server blade serial console with an error displayed similar to the following: Connecting to bay 1 ... iLO failed to respond: Interrupted system call (4)
      **Browsers**
      
        * After logging in to the OA GUI via the Google Chrome browser (Chrome-v34.0.1847.116 m or greater), the OA web application fails to load properly. The OA GUI login screen may display the warning: "Your browser does not have the required functionality to run the application." 
        * When using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the results of a configuration script fail to load properly after uploading and executing a configuration script using a local file from the OA web GUI. This issue was seen only when more than one script was uploaded without refreshing the page
      **EBIPA**  
      
        * Enclosure devices (including interconnect modules) fail to be configured with the Link Local address corresponding to the IPv6 gateway specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings.  This issue only occurs when an IPv6 other than the Link Local address of the gateway is specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings and will only occur for certain gateway server devices.
      **Serial Console**  
      
        * When logging in to connect to the OA via the serial port, if a user enters the **@** key as part of the login user name or password, the entered line is erased. 
        * When the baud rate for the OA serial port is configured to a value greater than the default 9600, attempts to directly paste saved commands or text into an open OA serial console session results in truncation or corruption of the pasted data. 
      **SNMP**  
      
        * No response received to a UDP network request sent from a client to an enclosure device such as iLO or an interconnect module. This issue was specifically observed when an SNMP request was sent to an interconnect module.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed in version 2.04:**  
      This firmware release resolved the following issues:  
                  **Smart Array controller:**
      
        * It is possible that a controller would become unresponsive when it was configured with a Smart Cache larger than 750MB.
        * Creating or deleting logical drives on a controller that has encryption enabled might cause the controller to halt with Lockup Code =  0xE3.
        * Performing split-mirror operations on encrypted logical drives might cause the controller to halt with Lockup Code =  0xE3.
        * Chkdsk was running slowly.
      
                  **HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 Server:**
      
        * Server might not boot if it was rebooted while a logical drive transformation was being performed.
        * Server might not apply deferred hard disk drive firmware updates.
        * Server UEFI POST messages were improved. POST message issues included the following examples: 
          * Multiple 1784 or 1787 POST messages were displayed although only one was required.
          * 1789 POST message was not displayed for a degraded Smart Cache.
          * 1739 POST message was not displayed when an unsupported dual domain configuration was connected.

  -     *Important Notes:**  
        
      Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running
      with the 11/04/2011 System ROM revision.  The 11/04/2011 System ROM revision
      has a known issue where embedded PCI Express devices or PCI Express devices
      installed in expansion slots intermittently may not be available after a warm
      reboot.  In this case, the PCI Express device would not be bootable (for
      bootable PCI Express devices) and would not be recognized by the operating
      system.  
        
      **Firmware Dependencies:**

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue in the 11/04/2011 System ROM where embedded PCI Express
      devices or PCI Express devices installed in mezzanine slots may not be
      available after a server warm reset.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may intermittently report a "207-Memory
      initialization error on Processor X, DIMM Y. The operating system may not have
      access to all of the memory installed in the system" error during system boot.
      When this error is reported, the memory associated with the reported DIMM will
      not be seen by the server or available to the operating system. This error may
      NOT be an indication of a failed processor, failed DIMM, or failed system
      board, but rather an issue with memory initialization which is addressed by
      this System ROM release. HP recommends that users who are experiencing this
      error during system boot upgrade to this revision of the System ROM before
      replacing any hardware components.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may report the following error: "210 -
      Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) Link Degradation. A QPI link is operating in a
      degraded performance state". This issue can occur on systems configured with
      Intel Xeon processors that operate with QPI Links at 5.8 or 4.8 GT/s. This
      error is a firmware issue and not a result of any issues with the system
      hardware.
      
      Resolved an extremely rare issue where a platform running a VMware Operating
      System, with MCA Recovery enabled, may not properly detect a recoverable
      uncorrectable memory error condition and properly respond to this event. This
      can result in the server resetting and logging an uncorrectable memory error
      event in some instances.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2012.04.20
changelog:
  -     Enhanced HP's Memory Pre-failure Alert support.  The system will now use an
      improved algorithm to detect when the system is at an increased probability of
      non-recoverable memory conditions that would result in unplanned downtime.
      This will increase server uptime by more accurately determining when a server
      administrator should schedule planned maintenance to replace DIMMs reducing
      unnecessary planned downtime and reducing the probability of unplanned
      downtime.

      **Problems Fixed:**  
        
      Addressed a processor issue with Intel Xeon 7500-series Processors and Intel
      Xeon E7-series Processors that may result in unpredictable system behavior
      including application level errors, system hangs, Windows blue screens, Linux
      kernel panics, or a VMware ESX Purple Screen of Death (PSoD).  This issue is
      not unique to HP ProLiant servers and could impact any system using affected
      processors.  This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version of
      Intel's microcode for affected processors that addresses this issue.  The fix
      for this issue does not impact performance.  Due to the potential severity of
      the issue addressed in this revision of the System ROM, this System ROM
      upgrade is considered a critical fix.  HP strongly recommends an immediate
      update to firmware revisions with required critical fixes.

      **Enhancements/New Features:**  
        
      Added support for a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called SMI Link
      Power Management that allows the user to disable power management on the Intel
      Scalable Memory Interconnect (SMI) link. This option is Enabled by Default.
      Disabling this functionality will increase the server's idle power usage.
      While corrected events are considered normal and are expected on the SMI Link
      and do not affect operation of the platform, the occurrence of these corrected
      events can be reduced significantly by disabling SMI Link Power Management.
      These events are logged as correctable Machine Check Bank 8 and 9 errors in
      the operating system logs for certain operating systems.  While these events
      can be ignored, SMI Link Power Management can be disabled to reduce or prevent
      their occurrence if desired.

      Addressed a processor issue under which a rare and complex sequence of
      internal processor microarchitecture events that occur in specific operating
      environments could cause a server system to experience unexpected page faults,
      general protection faults, or machine check exceptions or other unpredictable
      system behavior. While all processors supported by this server have this

      Addressed a processor issue under which a rare and complex sequence of
      internal processor microarchitecture events that occur in specific operating
      environments could cause a server system to experience unexpected page faults,
      general protection faults, or machine check exceptions or other unpredictable
      system behavior. While all processors supported by this server have this
      issue, to be affected by this issue the server must be operating in a
      virtualized environment, have Intel Hyperthreading enabled, have a hypervisor
      that enables Intel VT FlexPriority and Extended Page Tables, and have a guest

      this System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system experienced unexpected system behavior or
      report ACPI issues through the OS boot logs (such as Linux DMESG) when IOMMU
      was enabled in a virtualized operating system environment.
      
      Addressed an issue where Online Spare memory Mode would not function properly
      when 32GB LR-DIMMs were installed in the server platform. This issue was
      typically exhibited as the system becoming unresponsive during system boot
      when Online Spare was enabled with these DIMMs installed.
      
      Addressed an issue where Linux Operating Systems reported the following
      message: ERST: Failed to get Error Log Address Range, in the Linux DMESG log.
      
      Removed support for configuring the platform with the Memory Channel Mode
      configured for Combined Channel Memory Mode (Lockstep) and the Advanced Memory
      Protection mode configured for Online Spare with Advanced ECC. This
      combination is currently not supported by this server generation of platform.
      Platforms Servers that were previously configured with this option combination
      will have Online Spare Mode enabled but the Memory Channel Mode will be
      configured for Independent Channel Mode after updating to this revision of the
      System ROM.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where a system may become unresponsive or
      experience a system reset when booting a Microsoft Windows Operating System.
      When this event happens, a Bank 5 Machine Check Exception was logged in the
      Integrated Management Log (IML).
      
      Addressed an issue where the server's Legacy USB support would not properly
      report the drive capacity of a USB Drive Key that was larger than 8GB
      resulting in an inability to boot USB Drive Keys larger than 8 GB.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may not be able to properly execute the HP
      SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSSTK) under Linux based Operating Systems. In
      some cases, executing the HP SSSTK would result in a segfault error message
      being reported by the Linux kernel.

  -     Added support for Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 Series processors.
      
      Added additional options to the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Power-On Delay
      Option for delay times of 15, 30, 40 and 60 seconds (in addition to the
      previous options of No Delay and Random Delay). For these new selections to
      function, the system must be using Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware
      version 1.20 or later. If the system is configured to one of the new options
      without having iLO Firmware version 1.20 or later, the Power-On Delay Option
      will function as if the No Delay option were chosen.
      
      Enhanced the System ROM's detection of valid boot devices such as USB Drive
      Keys or Hard Drives. Previously, the System ROM may have attempted to boot
      certain bootable media with invalid boot records resulting in a Non-System
      Disk error. In some cases, the System ROM will now be able to detect the
      invalid boot record and skip attempting to boot the device. This allows the
      System ROM to attempt to boot the next device in the boot order.
      
      Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated

      Addressed a processor issue which can result in a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
      in a Windows virtual machine or Linux Kernel Panic in a Linux virtual machine
      when running on Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware ESX 5.x on Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series v2 processors. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and
      could impact any system using affected processors operating with the
      conditions listed. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version
      of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This issue does NOT affect
      servers configured with the Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers using the 11/12/2013 or 12/22/2013 revisions
      of the System ROM might not be able to boot certain operating system
      installations that install a Master Boot Record that is not marked as Active.
      When this issue occurs, the server might experience a Non-System Disk Error or
      not boot the intended media. This issue does NOT impact any System ROM
      revisions other than the 11/12/2013 and 12/22/2013 revisions.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue that can result in a system configured with
      Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors becoming unresponsive early in the
      POST boot process after an uncorrectable memory error occurs. When this issue
      occurs, the server will indicate an early boot progress of 20% and a "Memory
      and QPI Link Initialization Start" message will be displayed on the screen
      output. This issue does not impact servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System ROM does not properly retry booting
      certain Network Adapters under some conditions including when the user presses
      F12 to attempt a PXE boot. Instead, the System ROM will only attempt to boot
      the Network Adapter one time and then will continue trying to boot devices in
      the order specified by the Standard Boot Order (IPL).
      
      Addressed an issue where systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series
      processors and an HP 331FLR FlexLOM or HP NC332T Network Controller might see
      intermittent issues with the NIC not being detected by the platform. When the
      issue occurs, the NIC will not PXE boot or be identified or used by the
      operating system.

  -     *Important Notes:**  
        
      Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running
      with the 11/04/2011 System ROM revision.  The 11/04/2011 System ROM revision
      has a known issue where embedded PCI Express devices or PCI Express devices
      installed in expansion slots intermittently may not be available after a warm
      reboot.  In this case, the PCI Express device would not be bootable (for
      bootable PCI Express devices) and would not be recognized by the operating

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue in the 11/04/2011 System ROM where embedded PCI Express
      devices or PCI Express devices installed in expansion slots may not be
      available after a server warm reset.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may intermittently report a "207-Memory
      initialization error on Memory Board X, DIMM Y. The operating system may not
      have access to all of the memory installed in the system" error during system
      boot. When this error is reported, the memory associated with the reported
      DIMM will not be seen by the server or available to the operating system. This
      error may NOT be an indication of a failed memory board, failed DIMM, or
      failed system board, but rather an issue with memory initialization which is
      addressed by this System ROM release. HP recommends that users who are
      experiencing this error during system boot upgrade to this revision of the
      System ROM before replacing any hardware components.
      
      Updated the PXE Boot Firmware for the integrated NC375i Network Controller to
      version 4.0.580. In some instances gPXE booting to a PXE server may fail with
      previous gPXE code. Normally the PXE server will respond to a client's request
      with a UDP source port of 67(DHCP) or 4011(DHCP Proxy) port. However in some
      instances some PXE Server software may choose to use a random source port
      instead of the normal 67 or 4011. Previous versions of the gPXE code would
      ignore these packets with random source ports, and thus the gPXE process would
      fail. Using random source ports in PXE Server software is acceptable but not
      that common. This gPXE code was updated to allow packets from random source
      ports.
      
      Resolved an issue where a PCI-Express Expansion card could not be re-enabled
      in the ROM Based Setup Utilities (RBSU) PCI Enable/Disable Menu. This issue is
      only seen on certain multi-function PCI-Express Expansion Cards. This issue
      does not affect the operation of any PCI-Express Expansion cards which have
      not been disabled.
      
      Resolved an extremely rare issue where a platform running a VMware Operating
      System, with MCA Recovery enabled, may not properly detect a recoverable
      uncorrectable memory error condition and properly respond to this event. This
      can result in the server resetting and logging an uncorrectable memory error
      event in some instances.

      **Enhancements/New Features:**
      
      Added support for Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV).  SR-IOV can provide
      performance benefits in virtualized environments if the Operating
      System/hypervisor and installed I/O card support SR-IOV. This functionality is
      enabled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option.  It
      is disabled by default. When enabled, the System ROM will configure devices
      that support SR-IOV for use under a supported Operating System. Please consult
      the proper Operating System and Network Adapter documentation for a list of
      supported configurations.
      
      Added support for a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called SMI Link
      Power Management that allows the user to disable power management on the Intel
      Scalable Memory Interconnect (SMI) link. This option is Enabled by Default.
      Disabling this functionality will increase the server's idle power usage.
      While corrected events are considered normal and are expected on the SMI Link
      and do not affect operation of the platform, the occurrence of these corrected
      events can be reduced significantly by disabling SMI Link Power Management.
      These events are logged as correctable Machine Check Bank 8 and 9 errors in
      the operating system logs for certain operating systems.  While these events
      can be ignored, SMI Link Power Management can be disabled to reduce or prevent
      their occurrence if desired.

      IMPORTANT: The 07/01/2013 System ROM has an issue that can result in reduced
      performance and it has been removed from the HP Support Site. All HP ProLiant
      DL580 G7 servers should update to the 10/01/2013 System ROM instead. The
      10/01/2013 System ROM revision addresses the performance issue. The
      performance issue was unique to the 07/01/2013 System ROM revision for the
      DL580 G7. It does not affect any other ProLiant servers or any other HP

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue with the 07/01/2013 revision of the System ROM that could
      result in decreased performance. Due to an issue with the thermal solution
      included in that revision of the System ROM, the processor may be "throttled"
      to a reduced frequency when not necessary. This issue does NOT affect other
      revisions of the System ROM.
      
      Addressed a processor issue under which a rare and complex sequence of
      internal processor microarchitecture events that occur in specific operating
      environments could cause a server system to experience unexpected page faults,
      general protection faults, or machine check exceptions or other unpredictable
      system behavior. While all processors supported by this server have this
      issue, to be affected by this issue the server must be operating in a
      virtualized environment, have Intel Hyperthreading enabled, have a hypervisor
      that enables Intel VT FlexPriority and Extended Page Tables, and have a guest
      OS utilizing 32-bit PAE Paging Mode. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant
      servers and could impact any system utilizing affected processors operating
      with the conditions listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains an
      updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. Due to the
      potential severity of the issue addressed in this revision of the System ROM,
      this System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
      based power reporting would not function properly and report an incorrect
      wattage from the installed Power Supplies.

changelog:
  -     Enhanced the correctable memory error threshold error event handling to
      isolate degraded DIMM issues to a single DIMM when the Advanced Memory
      Protection Mode is configured for Lockstep Mode when the system is utilizing
      Intel Xeon 5600-series processors. With Intel Xeon 5500-series processors,
      correctable memory error threshold events can only be isolated to a pair of
      DIMMs when the system is configured to Lockstep Mode.
      
      Added support to allow industry standard utilities to display the actual
      operating frequency of the installed memory. This is supporting a newly
      defined industry standard field. Utilities to display this information may not
      yet be available.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning option
      known as QPI Bandwidth Optimization(RTID) to optimize link bandwidth settings
      for 2-Socket Intel Xeon 5600 series processors. These settings (also known as
      RTIDs) allow the user to balance bandwidth allocated between processors,
      memory, and I/O. While the balanced option (default) is recommended for the
      majority of customers, some benchmarks and workloads may show improved
      performance using different settings that allow optimization for memory
      streaming or I/O streaming. Customers that deploy I/O intensive applications
      such as seen with multiple GPUs, might see an improvement in GPU processing
      throughput when using the Optimized for I/O setting. This option is not
      available for systems utilizing Intel Xeon 5500-series processors.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Added the Power-On Logo option to the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow
      the system to always display option ROM messages during system boot.
      
      Improved the thermal operation of the server to better cool PCI-E expansion
      cards. This change may help address issues where devices that are installed in
      PCI-E riser slots were being throttled or causing the system to shutdown due
      to a premature thermal event.

  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      Recommended to upgrade to firmware version 2010.12.01 if Lockstep Mode is
      enabled.
      
      Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running
      with the 10/19/2010 System ROM revisions. The 10/19/2010 System ROM revisions
      have a known issue which can result in uncorrectable memory errors and
      correctable memory threshold errors and should not be utilized. These errors
      are due to a firmware issue and not a result of a problem with the system
      hardware or installed DIMMs.
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where Uncorrectable Memory Errors will be logged incorrectly
      to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when the Advanced Memory Protection
      Mode is configured for Lockstep Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      The Uncorrectable Memory Errors will indicate the incorrect DIMM as failed. If
      a system is configured for Lockstep Mode and an Uncorrectable Memory Error
      occurs, the DIMM indicated in the IML should not be replaced if the system is
      using a revision of the System ROM older than this revision. The correct DIMM
      will be indicated on the DIMM LEDs if the server includes DIMM LEDs. Note that
      Lockstep Mode is NOT the default Advanced Memory Protection Mode. If the
      Advanced Memory Protection Mode was never modified from its default setting,
      the system will not be affected by this issue.
      
      Updated the embedded PXE firmware to version 6.0.11 to resolve an issue where
      the server may experience slow network boot performance due to TFTP timeouts.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where Online Spare (OLS) Advanced Memory Protection Mode
      does not function properly when a system contains six 32 GB DIMMs on any
      processor (two 32 GB DIMMs per channel for all 3 channels on the processor).
      When Online Spare Mode is enabled for a system with six 32 GB DIMMs on a
      processor, the system will NOT be protected by the spare memory and one
      channel of memory per processor in this configuration will not be available to
      the operating system. The system will indicate it is in Advanced ECC mode
      during system boot, but not all installed memory will be available to the
      operating system as would normally occur in Advanced ECC Mode. Customers
      configuring their system for Online Spare Mode with six 32 GB DIMMs per
      installed processor should update their System ROM. Note: Because 32 GB DIMMs
      are quad-rank, six 32 GB DIMMs per processor is the maximum supported.
      
      Resolved a very rare issue where the system may either hang during system boot
      or boot with configuration options set incorrectly when non-volatile storage
      becomes corrupt. This is normally seen as the system hanging during system
      boot without anything displayed to video. Once the system gets into this
      state, the maintenance jumper can be utilized to recover operation of the
      system and restore configuration defaults. This revision of the System ROM
      will restore configuration defaults when non-volatile storage becomes corrupt.
      
      Improved the logging of Smart Array Accelerator Battery and Smart Array
      Accelerator Super-Cap information in the Integrated Management Log (IML) to
      clearly indicate what actions a customer should take when the battery or
      super-cap is not installed, requires replacement, or is charging.
      
      Resolved an issue where the iLO TEXTCONs feature would not function properly
      with the latest Linux kernels, including RHEL 6 and SLES 11 SP1. The issue is
      usually seen as TEXTCONs data no longer being received once the operating
      system has loaded.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may not be able to install an operating
      system to an iSCSI-based storage solution when using the local optical drive.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system would not boot from iLO Virtual USB devices
      when configured with multiple local USB devices. This issue is usually seen as
      a failure to boot an iLO Virtual Medial USB key when 2 or more USB keys are
      installed locally in the server. iLO Virtual Devices will now always have
      priority over local USB devices.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system did not properly modify the processor's
      power state (P-state) based on workload when the system is configured with
      Intel Xeon 5687 processors and the HP Power Regulator Mode is configured to OS
      Control Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). The processor would always
      run in its maximum power/performance state rather than modifying the power
      state based on the workload.

  -     Enhanced HP's Memory Pre-failure Alert support with HP Advanced Memory Error
      Detection Technology. This innovation analyzes multiple parameters of
      correctable memory error events and intelligently detects when the system is
      at an increased probability of non-recoverable memory conditions that would
      result in unplanned downtime or when correctable memory errors may degrade
      system performance. HP Advanced Memory Error Detection Technology will
      increase server uptime by accurately determining when a server administrator
      should schedule planned maintenance to replace DIMMs preventing unnecessary
      planned downtime and reducing the probability of unplanned downtime.
      
      Enhanced DIMM initialization such that the system will continue to boot with
      failed DIMM(s) installed (with those DIMM(s) not available to the operating
      system) in some instances that would have previously resulted in a hang early
      in the system boot process without any information displayed on the screen.

      operating system stops responding, unexpected system reset, Blue Screen when
      using a Microsoft Windows operating system, kernel panic when using a Linux
      operating system, or Purple Screen when using VMware ESX. A message may be
      displayed by the operating system or logged in the HP Integrated Management
      Log (IML) when this issue occurs indicating an "Uncorrectable Machine Check
      Exception." However, there are instances where the system resets before the
      operating system displays an error message and instances where the IML
      contains no log entry when this issue occurs. This issue does not occur if the
      Minimum Processor Idle State is configured for No C-states or C1E-state. The
      system is susceptible to this issue in the default Minimum Processor Idle
      State configuration.
      
      Resolved an issue where PCI-Express Gen 3 option cards would run at PCI-
      Express Gen 1 speeds rather than the appropriate behavior of running at PCI-
      Express Gen 2 speeds. This server supports a maximum PCI-Express speed of Gen
      2.
      
      Resolved an issue in which uncorrectable memory errors (or other fatal system
      errors) will not be logged to the HP Integrated Management Log (IML) when
      using some revisions of VMware ESX Server. These errors will result in a fatal
      error (Purple Screen of Death - PSoD) under VMware ESX, but there will not be
      any indication of the error type (including no indication of an uncorrectable
      memory error or what DIMM has failed). A VMware ESX Server issue which can
      result in uncorrectable memory errors this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1

      previous options of No Delay and Random Delay). For these new selections to
      function, the system must be using Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware
      version 1.20 or later. If the system is configured to one of the new options
      without having iLO Firmware version 1.20 or later, the Power-On Delay Option
      will function as if the No Delay option were chosen.
      
      Enhanced the System ROM's detection of valid boot devices such as USB Drive
      Keys or Hard Drives. Previously, the System ROM may have attempted to boot
      certain bootable media with invalid boot records resulting in a Non-System
      Disk error. In some cases, the System ROM will now be able to detect the
      invalid boot record and skip attempting to boot the device. This allows the
      System ROM to attempt to boot the next device in the boot order.
      
      Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated
      language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU).

      None
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may not be able to enter processor idle
      power states (C-states) which can increase idle power when configured with 2
      Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2Series Processors. This issue may also result in a
      reduction of the frequency of the processor entering Turbo Mode which can
      reduce performance under certain workloads.
      
      Addressed an issue where Online Spare memory Mode may not function properly
      when 10 or 12 core Intel Xeon E5-2600 Series v2 processors were installed in
      the server platform. This issue was typically exhibited as an Online Spare
      switchover not completing and not being logged into the Integrated Management
      Log (IML).
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may experience a no boot condition on the
      reset due to a fatal error. This issue is typically seen as the server hanging
      at 20% progress in the Early Video Initialization.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain memory configurations with non-HP SmartMemory
      may have been running at frequencies lower than supported by the processor.
      This issue only effects systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 Series
      Processors and non-HP Smart Memory.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2
      processors and 32 GB LRDIMMs may experience an increased rate of corrected
      memory errors or uncorrected memory errors. This issue impacts servers
      configured with 2 DIMMs per channel or 3 DIMMs per channel. Any server
      configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors using LRDIMMs should be
      updated to this revision of the System ROM or later. If experiencing memory
      errors with the indicated configuration, HP recommends updating to this
      revision of the System ROM or later before contacting HP service.
      
      Addressed an issue where Memory Address or Command Parity errors are not
      logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) if they occur. With previous
      revisions of the System ROM, these types of errors would cause the server to
      reset without any notification of the error. A "283-Memory Address/Command
      Parity Error Detected" error will now be displayed during system boot and
      logged to the IML.
      
      Addressed an issue where a false inlet ambient temperature sensor reading
      would cause a "System Overheating" message in the Integrated Management Log
      (IML).

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where Memory Address or Command Parity errors may occur on
      servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 series v2 processors and memory
      configurations where the memory speed is running at 1600 MHz or 1866 MHz.
      These errors may have resulted in the server resetting without notification of
      the error or the system resetting and displaying a "283-Memory Address/Command
      Parity Error Detected Error" and logging the event to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML). HP strongly recommends that all servers utilizing Intel
      E5-2600 v2 processors with impacted memory speeds update to this revision of
      the System ROM or later. This issue does NOT affect servers configured with
      the Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processor.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed a processor issue which can result in a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
      in a Windows virtual machine or Linux Kernel Panic in a Linux virtual machine
      when running on Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware ESX 5.x on Intel Xeon E5-2600
      series v2 processors. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and
      could impact any system using affected processors operating with the
      conditions listed. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version
      of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This issue does NOT affect
      servers configured with the Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers using the 11/14/2013 or 12/20/2013 revisions
      of the System ROM might not be able to boot certain operating system
      installations that install a Master Boot Record that is not marked as Active.
      When this issue occurs, the server might experience a Non-System Disk Error or
      not boot the intended media. This issue does NOT impact any System ROM
      revisions other than the 11/14/2013 and 12/20/2013 revisions.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue that can result in a system configured with
      Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors becoming unresponsive early in the
      POST boot process after an uncorrectable memory error occurs. When this issue
      occurs, the server will indicate an early boot progress of 20% and a "Memory
      and QPI Link Initialization Start" message will be displayed on the screen
      output. This issue does not impact servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600
      series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System ROM does not properly retry booting
      certain Network Adapters under some conditions including when the user presses
      F12 to attempt a PXE boot. Instead, the System ROM will only attempt to boot
      the Network Adapter one time and then will continue trying to boot devices in
      the order specified by the Standard Boot Order (IPL).
      
      Addressed an issue where systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series
      processors and an HP 331FLR FlexLOM or HP NC332T Network Controller might see
      intermittent issues with the NIC not being detected by the platform. When the
      issue occurs, the NIC will not PXE boot or be identified or used by the
      operating system.

changelog:
  -     Enhanced the correctable memory error threshold error event handling to
      isolate degraded DIMM issues to a single DIMM when the Advanced Memory
      Protection Mode is configured for Lockstep Mode when the system is utilizing
      Intel Xeon 5600-series processors. With Intel Xeon 5500-series processors,
      correctable memory error threshold events can only be isolated to a pair of
      DIMMs when the system is configured to Lockstep Mode.
      
      Added support to allow industry standard utilities to display the actual
      operating frequency of the installed memory. This is supporting a newly
      defined industry standard field. Utilities to display this information may not
      yet be available.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning option
      known as QPI Bandwidth Optimization(RTID) to optimize link bandwidth settings
      for 2-Socket Intel Xeon 5600 series processors. These settings (also known as
      RTIDs) allow the user to balance bandwidth allocated between processors,
      memory, and I/O. While the balanced option (default) is recommended for the
      majority of customers, some benchmarks and workloads may show improved
      performance using different settings that allow optimization for memory
      streaming or I/O streaming. Customers that deploy I/O intensive applications
      such as seen with multiple GPUs, might see an improvement in GPU processing
      throughput when using the Optimized for I/O setting. This option is not
      available for systems utilizing Intel Xeon 5500-series processors.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Added the Power-On Logo option to the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow
      the system to always display option ROM messages during system boot.

  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      Recommended to upgrade to firmware version 2010.12.01 if Lockstep Mode is
      enabled.
      
      Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running
      with the 10/19/2010 System ROM revisions. The 10/19/2010 System ROM revisions
      have a known issue which can result in uncorrectable memory errors and
      correctable memory threshold errors and should not be utilized. These errors
      are due to a firmware issue and not a result of a problem with the system
      hardware or installed DIMMs.
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where Uncorrectable Memory Errors will be logged incorrectly
      to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when the Advanced Memory Protection
      Mode is configured for Lockstep Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      The Uncorrectable Memory Errors will indicate the incorrect DIMM as failed. If
      a system is configured for Lockstep Mode and an Uncorrectable Memory Error
      occurs, the DIMM indicated in the IML should not be replaced if the system is
      using a revision of the System ROM older than this revision. The correct DIMM
      will be indicated on the DIMM LEDs if the server includes DIMM LEDs. Note that
      Lockstep Mode is NOT the default Advanced Memory Protection Mode. If the
      Advanced Memory Protection Mode was never modified from its default setting,
      the system will not be affected by this issue.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where Online Spare (OLS) Advanced Memory Protection Mode
      does not function properly when a system contains six 32 GB DIMMs on any
      processor (two 32 GB DIMMs per channel for all 3 channels on the processor).
      When Online Spare Mode is enabled for a system with six 32 GB DIMMs on a
      processor, the system will NOT be protected by the spare memory and one
      channel of memory per processor in this configuration will not be available to
      the operating system. The system will indicate it is in Advanced ECC mode
      during system boot, but not all installed memory will be available to the
      operating system as would normally occur in Advanced ECC Mode. Customers
      configuring their system for Online Spare Mode with six 32 GB DIMMs per
      installed processor should update their System ROM. Note: Because 32 GB DIMMs
      are quad-rank, six 32 GB DIMMs per processor is the maximum supported.
      
      Resolved a very rare issue where the system may either hang during system boot
      or boot with configuration options set incorrectly when non-volatile storage
      becomes corrupt. This is normally seen as the system hanging during system
      boot without anything displayed to video. Once the system gets into this
      state, the maintenance jumper can be utilized to recover operation of the
      system and restore configuration defaults. This revision of the System ROM
      will restore configuration defaults when non-volatile storage becomes corrupt.
      
      Resolved an issue where the iLO TEXTCONs feature would not function properly
      with the latest Linux kernels, including RHEL 6 and SLES 11 SP1. The issue is
      usually seen as TEXTCONs data no longer being received once the operating
      system has loaded.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may not be able to install an operating
      system to an iSCSI-based storage solution when using the local optical drive.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system would not boot from iLO Virtual USB devices
      when configured with multiple local USB devices. This issue is usually seen as
      a failure to boot an iLO Virtual Medial USB key when 2 or more USB keys are
      installed locally in the server. iLO Virtual Devices will now always have
      priority over local USB devices.
      
      Resolved an issue where the industry standard SMBIOS tables incorrectly
      identified the server as a rack server instead of a blade server. This issue
      could have caused software to incorrectly report the server as a rack server.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue that may result in any of the following conditions:
      operating system stops responding, unexpected system reset, Blue Screen when
      using a Microsoft Windows operating system, kernel panic when using a Linux
      operating system, or Purple Screen when using VMware ESX. A message may be
      displayed by the operating system or logged in the HP Integrated Management
      Log (IML) when this issue occurs indicating an "Uncorrectable Machine Check
      Exception." However, there are instances where the system resets before the
      operating system displays an error message and instances where the IML
      contains no log entry when this issue occurs. This issue does not occur if the
      Minimum Processor Idle State is configured for No C-states or C1E-state. The
      system is susceptible to this issue in the default Minimum Processor Idle
      State configuration.
      
      Resolved an issue where PCI-Express Gen 3 option cards would run at PCI-
      Express Gen 1 speeds rather than the appropriate behavior of running at PCI-
      Express Gen 2 speeds. This server supports a maximum PCI-Express speed of Gen
      2.
      
      Resolved an issue in which uncorrectable memory errors (or other fatal system
      errors) will not be logged to the HP Integrated Management Log (IML) when
      using some revisions of VMware ESX Server. These errors will result in a fatal
      error (Purple Screen of Death - PSoD) under VMware ESX, but there will not be
      any indication of the error type (including no indication of an uncorrectable
      memory error or what DIMM has failed). A VMware ESX Server issue which can
      result in uncorrectable memory errors this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1
      and VMware ESX 4.0 U3. This System ROM revision addresses the logging of
      errors to the IML.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system did not properly modify the processor's
      power state (P-state) based on workload when the system is configured with
      Intel Xeon 5687 processors and the HP Power Regulator Mode is configured to OS
      Control Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). The processor would always
      run in its maximum power/performance state rather than modifying the power
      state based on the workload.
