Blade servers must complete POST (Power On Self Test) at least one time before the Onboard Administrator can display the correct information. * Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator Port Mapping page showed all zeros for some HP ProLiant Blade Servers' embedded NIC MAC addresses. * Fixed an identification error for some Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switches. - Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator could clear the Virtual Connect parameters from one or more servers following the sequence of events described below. This issue caused a "Profile Pending" condition, detected and reported by Virtual Connect Manager, that required affected servers to be powered off to clear the problem. The Onboard Administrator is rebooted, power-cycled, or failed over followed by any of these events: * The Virtual Connect Manager (executing on a Virtual Connect Ethernet module in I/O bay 1 or 2) failed over * The Virtual Connect Manager changed IP addresses (due to a change in network connection, DHCP server, or Enclosure Bay IP Addressing setting) * The Virtual Connect Manager was used to change the Virtual Connect Domain Name value. - New hardware support: * HP ProLiant BL260c G5 Server Blade * Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120X for HP * Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120G for HP New features: * Enclosure IP address option * Onboard Administrator failover upon link loss * Power-on delay option * Onboard Administrator network port - forced setting option * Onboard Administrator remote syslog logging option * Onboard Administrator strict password option * Onboard Administrator Name setting via Insight Display - Eliminated false Power Supply alerts for c7000 enclosures * EBIPA address setting changes do not reset Interconnect Modules - Fixed a network loop issue that can result when a forced Onboard Administrator failover is initiated from the Standby Onboard Administrator while the Active Onboard Administrator is in its boot-up sequence or non-responsive. * Fixed an issue where Virtual Connect modules may lose inter-module communication upon an Onboard Administrator failover. * Fixed an issue with the CLI EBIPA INTERCONNECT commands where EBIPA IP settings are not configured for Interconnect modules after the command execution. This issue existed only with the Onboard Administrator firmware V2.20. The GUI functionality was not affected. The CLI commands affected are: * SET EBIPA INTERCONNECT * ENABLE EBIPA INTERCONNECT * DISABLE EBIPA INTERCONNECT * Fixed an issue where the CLI SET USER PASSWORD command intermittently resulted in an error response when the command was issued via Telnet or SSH. - New features: * Added GUI LDAP Test Page feature * Added a CLI command "SHOW SERVER BOOT ORDER". * Enhanced the EBIPA feature to allow a leading numeric value for DNS name settings. * Improved C7000 Dynamic Power Saving functionality.

Flagged power supplies continue to function and the enclosure remains operational. See customer advisory c01519680 for more information: [http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lo cale=en_US&amp;amp;amp;objectID=c01519680](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor t/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&amp;amp;amp;objectID=c01519680) > > For firmware compatibility information, please see _HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance_, <http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystemupdates>. **Problems Fixed** * Fixed an issue where a server blade with Power Management Controller version 0.7 was incorrectly flagged as "Major degraded" when it should have been flagged as "Informational". * Fixed an issue with the "CONNECT INTERCONNECT" command that could intermittently hang the CLI session when using the send break command. This issue would only occur if the remote port settings were incorrect in the CONNECT console, or if the interconnect was not responsive. * Fixed an issue where a server blade's signature information would be inadvertently retained after deleting its Virtual Configuration Domain. * Fixed an issue where the OA could not automatically log into an iLO if there were no local users configured on the ilO. * Fixed an issue where the devices name was not displayed on the system status page for degraded devices. * Fixed an issue where the OA GUI would improperly display the enclosures graphical front and rear views when on a factory reset was issued if VC was enabled. * Fixed an issue in the "HELP ADD LDAP GROUP" command where it incorrectly stated that the number of allowable directory groups was 6. The help now correctly states that the correct number of 30. * Fixed an issue when executing the "GENERATE CERTIFICATE REQUEST" commands where the user was unable to enter the required Country field to proceed with the command. * Fixed an issue where a configured user account could not access the Insight Display from the enclosure's front view even thought the user had the appropriate permissions. * Fixed an issue where the OA would display "invalid command" when executing the CLI Help commands "HELP ENABLE SYSLOG REMOTE" or "HELP DISABLE SYSLOG REMOTE". * Fixed an issue where an OA user was allowed to remove the remote syslog server address while remote logging was enabled. A user must now disable remote logging before clearing the syslog server address. * Fixed an issue where sidecar blades would not power on due to the partner blade being allowed to be incorrectly power on first. * Fixed an issue where power cycling the enclosure would cause a server and its sidecar to falsely report "Inappropriate device in adjacent bay". * Fixed an issue where the "CONNECT SERVER" command would terminate the CLI session if the maximum number of iLO users had already been created. * Fixed an issue where the LCD firmware sync option would still be available when there was mismatched OA hardware. The OA will now disable the sync button when this condition exists. * Fixed an issue where the OA does not show all temperature information for Integrity Servers with unpopulated CPU sockets. * Fixed an issue where the "REBOOT SERVER FORCE" command would sometimes result in blades being powered off. * Added a syslog message when the allocated power value of a server blade is being updated and iLO is unresponsive. * Fixed an issue where an Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping error on a blade would result in the OA's enclosure power summary not to display Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping related information for all blades. * Fixed an issue where the KVM connections to a server blade would fail approximately 29 days after the last iLO reset. When this issue occurs iLO is functioning normally but the OA fails to connect with a syslog message, "OA: KVM Bay X - Connection to blade failed." * Fixed an issue where the enclosure DVD status was inconsistent across GUI, CLI and LCD for all the blades. * Modified the OA to no longer log the "OA:tbmuser_logged out of the OA" event. * Fixed an issue where the c7000 KVM display menu for bay 16A would report "absent" when a double dense server blade such as the BLx220c was installed in bay 16. * Fixed an issue on c3000 Onboard Administrator where the CONNECT INTERCONNECT command would sometimes drop characters if the command was over 16 bytes. * Modified the Insight Display representation of double dense server blades to display a distinguishable separation so that it is not confused with the display of a single density server blade. * Fixed an issue on the Directory Settings Test page where it would improperly identify failed LDAP test when the ping test failed. * Fixed an issue where VC configuration parameters were not correctly applied after recovering from Profile Pending state. - *Enhancements/New Features** > **Hardware Support** > > * Added support for the HP BLc7000 2400W Platinum Power Supply > > **Firmware Additions** > > * Added support for IPv6. > * Added support for Virtual LAN (VLAN) networking within the c-Class enclosure. > * Added support for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 1. > * Added support for Internet Explorer 8 in compatibility mode only. > * Added support for Mozilla Firefox 3.5. > * Added support for logging blade correctable and uncorrectable memory errors on G6 server blades only. > * Enhanced Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping: > * Provides for a maximum allowable cap range based on the hardware and firmware available in the enclosure and installed server blades > * Can now be enabled in a non redundant power environment > * Can now be enabled in a DC-powered enclosure > * Added a new CLI command that retrieves and displays a server blade's iLO 2 Event Log. > * Modified the SHOW ALL to also include the iLO 2 Event Log for all installed server blades. > * Enhanced the handling of previously cached browser pages when upgrading the Onboard Administrator. > * Self-signed certificates generated with Onboard Administrator v3.00 now use a SHA1 signature instead of the less secure MD5 signature. > * Enhanced Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA) to support individual network settings for each bay instead of global network settings which encompass all bays. > * The method used to determine duplicate EBIPA IP addresses within OA 2.60 and earlier has been found to be unreliable and at times indicates duplicate IP addresses that were in fact not duplicate, thus duplicate IP address checking has been removed from the OA 3.00. - *Important Notes:** * Onboard Administrator v3.00 EBIPA changes to support configuring device bays or interconnect bays in different IP subnets (particularly to support the new Enclosure VLAN feature) require a new CLI command to save the EBIPA settings. Enclosure configuration files saved on previous Onboard Administrator versions will not have the new SAVE EBIPA command, so it is highly recommended that the Enclosure configuration file be saved after the Onboard Administrator is updated to version 3.00; even if the new EBIPA features are not used, to ensure that the Enclosure configuration file has the proper EBIPA command sequence to restore the EBIPA settings. * Internet Explorer 6 does not natively support IPv6. Please review Microsoft Technical Note, <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784580.aspx>, for details on using Internet Explorer 6 with the Onboard Administrator v3.00 configured for IPv6. * As of Onboard Administrator v2.60, the Onboard Administrator detects power supplies within the scope of Customer Advisory c01519680 and flags them with a "Red X" critical error condition and displays the message: "HP strongly recommends replacing power supply #X at the customer's earliest possible convenience pursuant to Customer Advisory c01519680."

OA 3.31 contains the corrected 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru PIC Firmware version 3.0.3. PIC Firmware upgrade procedure is shown below. > >> **Detailed Description:** HP NC550m, NC551m, NC552m, or NC553i 10GbE Server Adapters may indicate a false link status when mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet Pass-thru module even if there is no cable attached from the Pass-thru module to the switch. Even if a cable is either not connected or becomes inadvertently unplugged, and therefore no network connectivity is present, the server blade front panel NIC LED status will be illuminated green, indicating link. In addition, the operating system will display a message similar to, "Local area connection is now connected." This can also cause Network teaming and configuration issues because the NIC will always report that there is link. >> >> In addition, the HP System Management Homepage (SMH) NIC status is displayed incorrectly when a NIC cable is unplugged under any Linux operating system. >> >> This only occurs with the 1 Gb Pass-thru module. 10 Gb Pass-thru and 1/10Gb switches do not exhibit this issue. >> >> **Resolution:** for the applicable configurations described above, upgrade the OA Firmware to 3.31, and follow the procedure below for all 1 Gb Pass-thru modules in the enclosure: >> >> 1.

The administrator can have the firmware updated to the baseline on server insertion, during a pre-defined maintenance window, or manually. The Onboard Administrator maintains logs of the EFM firmware updates, and reports on compliance with the established baseline. * EFM supports HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) 2011.09 or newer. Please review the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) documentation and release notes for issues and information about supported firmware components, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp>. * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21) * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21) * Administrators can now define a custom Login Banner. This can be used, for example, to display your specific Terms of Service (TOS) when logging in to the OA. * The OA IPv6 setting on the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings Page->IPv6 Settings tab now enables IPv6 traffic for all the devices in the enclosure (IPv6, RA, DHCPv6). * The OA will display IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO * You must have IPv4 infrastructure to retain complete manageability through the OA; e.g. virtual media, single sign on, Enclosure Firmware Management. * Insight Remote Support enables health and inventory data for the enclosure to be collected by HP to expedite resolution of your issues. Examples of data that is collected include: * Enclosure name * Enclosure product name * Enclosure part number * Enclosure serial number * Enclosure manufacturer name * Onboard Administrator firmware version * Onboard Administrator IP and MAC addresses * New CLI command SET SERIAL BAUD "<Baud Rate>" configures the baud rate settings for the OA serial console port. Valid Baud Rate values are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. * New SHOW HEALTH CLI command provides a summary of the health/status of all components in the enclosure. * Beginning with iLO 3 (G7 server blades) firmware version 1.50 and iLO 4 (Gen8 server blades) firmware version 1.05 a change in the server status reported by the Onboard Administrator will be observed in cases where a server attempts to power on but power on is delayed or denied. In addition to the diagnostic status information indicating the cause of the power delay or denial, an additional diagnostic status indication will now be reported by the Onboard Administrator indicating that the server blade is reporting an internal degraded status. This is an intentional behavior change. * Enhanced the HPONCFG CLI command to allow variable substitution. HPONCFG sends a RIBCL script to the specified HP ProLiant server blades with the access level and privilege of the current user. Command syntax is as follows: HPONCFG [NOAUTOLOGIN] [SUBSTITUTE [TEST] {<variable>="value" [,<variable>="value"[,]]}] {ALL | <bay number> [{ , | - } <bay number>]} {<< <end marker> | <from_url> [<to_url>]} To use variable substitution, specify the token SUBSTITUTE followed by a list of variable assignments. Variable name and its value can include spaces, numbers, or any printable characters. Up to 25 variables are supported. The maximum length of variable name is 48 characters. Specify TEST to review the RIBCL script that will be sent to the iLO without executing the script. e.g. The following command line would replace the string "%NAME%" in the RIBCL script that gets executed with "MY_NAME": HPONCFG SUBSTITUTE NAME="MY_NAME" * Updated OA SNMP to support the CPQRACK-MIB version 1.16. Please see the HP Systems Insight Manager MIB Kit v9.20 for more details on the CPQRACK-MIB, <http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/mibkit.html>. * A new warning message, "Mixing different power supply models is not supported. The power supply in bay #X must be replaced with the proper part number.", is issued and the Power sub-system is degraded when different types of power supplies are mixed in c3000 enclosures. * With previous versions of the OA, packet flooding conditions on the management network could cause the OA to stop processing incoming packets. Once triggered, this condition would persist until the OA was restarted. The current version of the OA is more resilient to this condition, and will resume normal packet processing once the packet flooding conditions have cleared. HP continues to strongly recommend that OA network ports be separate from your production network. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * Previous versions logged transient network link status changes for the OA, servers and interconnects. For example: Apr 30 06:48:17 OA: Network link to server 6 is down Apr 30 06:49:02 OA: Network link to server 6 is up * **Thermals** * OA 3.5x firmware versions track cumulative fan communication errors during continuous OA uptime. Once a default threshold of cumulative errors is exceeded, the fan is marked as failed. Some Active Cool 200 fans experience intermittent fan communication failures that will trigger this failure typically within 3 months of continuous operation, although the fans are otherwise operating normally. Version 3.60 implements a different algorithm that avoids marking false failures with this generation of fans. See Customer Advisory c03395857 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03395857>. * **IPv6** * Alertmail now works with IPv6. * The DHCPv6 lease was reset each time the OA network was restarted by an OA reboot or other network configuration changes. This resulted in the OA inadvertently failing to request its existing IPv6 address when attempting to renew its IPv6 address via DHCP and typically receiving a different IPv6 address each renewal. * Under some conditions, users were unable to add a second IPv6 static address or to remove static IPv6 addresses thru the WEB GUI. * When the user specified both the Standby IPv6 DNS Server 1 and IPv6 DNS Server 2 thru the OA WEB GUI, the information for IPv6 DNS Server 1 was inadvertently discarded. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Firmware Additions** * **FIPS** * FIPS, or _Federal Information Processing Standards_, is a set of publications that document standards for implementing security. More information can be found on "National Institute of Standards and Technology" website <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html>. OA 3.70 provides a user selectable FIPS Mode of operation wherein: * only FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms such as AES, 3DES and SHA are permitted, * strong passwords are enforced, * integrity self-tests are performed whenever encryption services are used (Known Answer Tests - KATs), * and partition integrity checks on boot are performed. * Enabling FIPS mode on an OA module or redundant pair of OA modules automatically forces the OA module(s) to be reset to factory defaults due to FIPS requirements. Please configure the OA module(s) for FIPS mode operation prior to performing any other enclosure or OA configuration including configuration of Virtual Connect. * Some features are permanently disabled in FIPS mode for compliance reasons: * Telnet access * Enclosure IP mode * SNMP * OA Firmware downgrades * Set Factory Defaults * Upload support dumps * Disable strong passwords * Disable LCD PIN protection * The default security settings in OA 3.70 have been upgraded and are now equivalent to prior version's "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting. The "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting has been removed from OA 3.70. * Upon changing FIPS modes, all security related data is cleared from the OA, including certificates, keys, and other critical security parameters. Please refer to the security section in the Onboard Administrator user guide for more information. * FIPS is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21) * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21) * **GUI** * Internet Explorer 10 (IE 10) is supported in compatibility mode only. The IE 10 "Windows 8 - Style UI Mode" is not supported. * OA GUI Management Console now allows login to 6Gb SAS Interconnect module Interfaces if VLANs are defined for the Interconnect modules. * **IPv6** * OA 3.70 adds a group box in the Management Processor Information tab on the iLO - Device Bay page, where a radio button is displayed to allow selection of the current IPv4 address and all IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * If using OA 3.6x, HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosures containing both of the following power supply models show the power subsystem degraded, with one or more power supplies being marked as mismatched. See Customer Advisory c03509204 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03509204>. * HP 1200W Common Slot Silver Hot Plug Power Supply Kit * Part number 437572-B21 * Spare part number 441830-001 * HP 1200W Common Slot Silver Hot Plug Power Supply Kit * Part number 500172-B21 * Spare part number 498152-001 - *Enhancements/New Features:** * None - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * The power subsystem might be reported as degraded and the HP 1200W Common Slot-48VDC Hot Plug Power Supply DC power supplies (HP part number: 437573-B21) as failed due to a device mismatch when running OA firmware 3.6x or 3.70 in a c3000 enclosure. See Customer Advisory c03571787 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03571787>. * Intermittent issue where server name was reset to default after power cycle. * Intermittent issue that would incorrectly reflect the HP 6120XG Ethernet Blade Switch and the HP ProCurve 6120G/XG Blade Switch status after the switch was rebooted or after a switch firmware update was performed. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * None - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **Authentication ** * When the OA is enabled for TFA and the certificate chain contains more than 2 CA certificates previous versions of the OA would not establish an SSL Connection. The OA now accepts a max depth of 7 CA Certificates. * **Integrity Server Blades** * Under rare circumstances an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade configured with Virtual Connect may momentarily lose its network connection during an OA failover. See Customer Advisory c03613140 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03613140>. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware** * Added support for the "HP 2650W HE PSU" power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * In the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware Additions** * HP 2650W HE PSU power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. * Brocade 16Gb/16 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class * Brocade 16Gb/28 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class * Brocade 16Gb/28 SAN Switch Pwr Pk+ for HP BladeSystem c-Class * HP 6125XLG Blade Switch * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLB Adapter * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534M Adapter * HP QMH2672 16Gb FC HBA for BladeSystem c-class * **Features Additions and Changes** * IPv6 support to EBIPA (Enclosure Bay IP Addressing) for interconnect modules and server blades * Language Pack Support to allow for Japanese and Chinese GUI interfaces * SNMP3 support * Enhanced the UPDATE ILO CLI commandto to support server blades with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled * The sender's email address for alertmail notifications * Monitoring of status of battery on OA module(s) with low battery level indication reported as OA diagnostic status. When a low battery level status indication is encountered, the spare battery kit (HP p/n 708907-001) should be used for replacement of the battery as soon as possible as enclosure configuration settings may be lost if the OA loses power. * Two-Factor Authentication user certificates no longer require the "sslclient" property to be set. * Removed support "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as supported SSH key exchange option by default. This may impact the ability of older SSH clients which do not support more contemporary and secure SSH key exchange options to connect to OA modules running OA 4.01. This can be re-enabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command. * **Browser Support** * Updated web browser support as follows: * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10 * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 * Google Chrome - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General** * Partnering alert on HP BladeSystem Insight Display LCD may not be cleared. See Customer Advisory c03801002 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03801002>. * When running OA firmware versions 3.6x or 3.7x with the OA deployed in a large, flat management network topology, the OA reboots after logging an OA system log similar to the following: * Nov 11 22:04:54 Kernel: Out of Memory: Kill process 10562 (iptables) score 822 and children. * KVM connections to iLO 2 server blades would fail if the default Remote Control Telnet port was changed in iLO. * HP Insight Management does not properly report partnered blades installed in lower slots when associated with a full height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL680c. This issues does not occur when the partner blade is associated with a half height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL460c. * Insight Display reports a config error when HP Integrity BL890c i2, HP Integrity BL870c i2, or HP Integrity BL860c i2 Server Blades are paired with a tape storage blade. * OA 'Link loss failover' does not function properly after performing OA FW SYNC. * Primary OA would stop responding to network requests with a "HTTP service is unresponsive" error message under certain management network configurations. * The OA firmware behavior related to downloading files via a URL specifying authenticated FTP as the protocol has changed. This new behavior results in the home directory of the specified user being used as the relative root path in the URL. A double "//" must now be specified at the beginning of the path specification within the URL in order to specify an absolute path that avoids the use of the specified user's home directory in the path. For example: "ftp://user:password@host//path/to/file" will specify an absolute path of /path/to/file while "ftp://user:password@host/path/to/file" will specify a path to /home/user/path/to/file. * **Alertmail** * False alertmail messages are sent indicating the enclosures status as degraded followed by another message indicating the status has changed to OK. * **Authentication** * When the OA is enabled for Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) and the certificate chain contains more than 2 CA certificates, previous versions of the OA would not establish an SSL Connection. The OA now accepts a max depth of 7 CA Certificates. * OA reboots with a segmentation violation when uploading a user certificate with an invalid certificate authority (CA) path. * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)** * The OA EFM configuration would be improperly configured after restoring a previously saved OA configuration script. * When observing the EFM update process from a server blade console, note that manual user interaction with any user dialog screens presented can cause the EFM process for that server blade to fail. * **FIPS** * When FIPS mode has been enabled for the OA module(s) within an enclosure and a redundant OA which does not have FIPS mode enabled is later introduced into the enclosure, the current FIPS mode configuration will not be successfully synchronized to this newly introduced OA module. To work around this issue, it is recommended that the OA module be reset to factory defaults prior to being introduced into a redundant OA configuration where FIPS mode has been enabled. * When FIPS mode is enabled for a redundant OA configuration, the automatic synchronization of FIPS mode configuration from the active to the standby OA module will trigger a reset of the standby OA module to factory defaults. This operation will be incorrectly recorded in the OA syslog as having been performed by the "Insight Display" user. * **GUI** * Script error displayed on flashing OA * Issue 1: An alert titled "Warning: Unresponsive script" may occur if connectivity to the OA is lost. This can be safely ignored, and the user can sign in after the connection is restored. * Issue 2: An alert titled "Internet Explorer Script Error" may occur on a remote GUI session when flashing the OA. This may be safely ignored. * **Integrity Server Blades** * Under rare circumstances, an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade installed in a HP BLc7000 Enclosure configured with Virtual Connect may momentarily lose its network connection during an OA failover. See Customer Advisory c03613140 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03613140> * **Interconnects** * In the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. * Some BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to connect or may experience excessive errors in certain scenarios after an I/O module is inserted into an enclosure that is already operating with OA firmware 3.6x/3.7x. See Customer Advisory c03811228 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03811228> * **LDAP** * Enhanced LDAP authorization to distinguish the same user name in different LDAP Groups. * **OA Upgrade** * The OA flash process completes successfully although 88% is the highest percentage reported. * **Power** * The OA would incorrectly display an 'AC Subsystem Overload' alert message due to a transient power condition related to the Dynamic Power Saving mode. * SHOW POWER CLI output does not immediately reflect power configuration changes made by SET POWER MODE * **SNMP** * The OA reboots with an out of memory condition due to many SNMP MIB Walk requests after being active for long periods of time. * SNMP not accessible from standby OA IP with OA 3.56 through OA 3.60. * **VLAN** * Slow OA and virtual media access with 3.60 and later when VLAN functionality is enabled. * OA firmware sync feature does not work when VLAN is enabled. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware** * Added support for the "HP 2650W HE PSU" power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed ** * **General** * OA 4.02 includes fix for CVE 2014-0224.

If you wish to enable iLO Federation between blades in an individual enclosure, the Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option in the OA must first be enabled. In addition to enabling this support for the enclosure, you must also enable the necessary support individually for any desired blades through the iLO user interfaces. The Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option is enabled by default. Please ensure that this setting is disabled if there are any concerns with enabling peer-to-peer communication between iLOs within the enclosure. The configuration option can be displayed or modified via the Enclosure Information->Enclosure Settings->Network Access page in the OA GUI web console, or it can be displayed via the OA CLI interface using SHOW NETWORK command and modified using the ENABLE/DISABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT CLI commands. * **FIPS** * Cryptographic Known Answer Tests (KATs) now run on each OA reboot and/or power cycle irrespective of the FIPS mode setting. * **HP Insight Remote Support** * Added support for the Insight Remote Support Direct Connect configuration. * Added CLI and GUI interfaces for importing a self-signed certificate from an Insight RS Hosting Device into the OA. This certificate is used to validate the signing authority of the Insight RS Hosting Device, which is required to allow communication with the Hosting Device when the OA is in FIPS mode. * **IPv6** * The OA supports DDNS for IPv6 addresses. * Added support for displaying IPv6 addresses for the associated enclosure devices for the SHOW INTERCONNECT, SHOW TOPOLOGY and SHOW SERVER commands. * **Security** * Added support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as a secure communication protocol. * Enabled "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option by default.

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. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. - *Recommended** \- Users should update to OA 4.22 if their system is using OA 4.20 or 4.21. **Optional** - Users should update to OA 4.22 if their system is using an OA version prior to OA 4.12 and is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version. - Patched the support for SSL/TLS MITM Vulnerability CVE-2014-0224 <http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt> - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware Additions** * 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 * **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. - *Firmware Dependency** 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. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Version 4.31 New Feature:** * 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.

Resolved an issue in which servers configured with 12-core AMD 6100-series Opteron processors cannot re-enable processor cores that were previously disabled via the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue is seen when the user had previously disabled 4 or more processor cores and attempts to re- enable the processor core count to be greater than 8. Resolved an issue where the system could experience a hang while resuming from an operating system hibernation event. Resolved a rare issue where the system may experience a hang during system boot when certain USB KVMs are attached to the server. Resolved an issue where the system may not be able to wake up from a Wake On LAN request to a network card installed in an expansion slot. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for Online Spare Memory. This feature improves system availability by providing additional protection against memory failures beyond Advanced ECC support. Please consult HP documentation for details on properly configuring the DIMMs in the server to support Online Spare Mode. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue in ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) where menus for the Trusted Platform Module options are not displayed correctly for languages other than English. Resolved an issue in which the external USB ports are not properly disabled when the USB Control option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is configured to External USB Ports Disabled. Resolved an issue where the server may not wake up properly from an RTC Wakeup Event. Resolved an issue where Memory Channel Interleaving is incorrectly enabled even when configured to disabled in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) menu option selection. Memory Channel Interleaving is enabled by default, but this issue prevented the ability to disable the feature. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** CP014658.SCEXE ver. 2010.12.20 (B), which replaces the previous CP014540.SCEXE ver. 2010.12.20 (A), contains a documentation update only. 2010.12.20 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2010.12.20 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2010.12.20. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue in which uncorrectable memory errors (or other fatal system errors) will not be logged to the 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). The VMware ESX Server issue which causes this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1 and VMware ESX 4.0 U3. Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in uncorrectable memory errors being reported. This will result in a system reset and an error logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). If using certain revisions of VMware ESX Server, this issue will result in a fatal error (Purple Screen of Death - PSoD). This is NOT an issue with the DIMM(s) and is completely resolved by the work-around included in this revision of the System ROM. The issue does not occur if the Minimum Processor Idle State option in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is configured for No C-states. Resolved an issue where the system will not properly handle an Online Spare memory failover event. HP recommends that customers who configure the Advanced Memory Protection option for Online Spare Mode upgrade to this system ROM version to ensure proper operation. Updated embedded PXE firmware to gPXE version 1.01 to address issues with PXE getting a valid DHCP address as well as performance issues with TFTP transfers following a PXE boot. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or operating system crash (such as a Windows Blue Screen, Linux Kernel Panic, or VMware ESX PSoD) when the system is under heavy I/O load. This issue is typically seen with systems configured with a large amount of optional PCI- express expansion cards. 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 DVD drive. 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 system may incorrectly report a "1615-Power Supply Configuration Not Sufficient" message and halt during system boot when an optional PCI-express graphics card is installed in the system. If this issue is observed, please remove the optional graphics card, plug the monitor into the embedded video, update the System ROM revision, and then re-install the optional graphics card. **Known Issues:** None - 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. Added several performance tuning options into the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). The following options were added to RBSU: "Hardware Prefetch Training on Software Prefetch", "DRAM Prefetch on CPU Request", "DRAM Prefetch on I/O Request", and "CPU Core Hardware Prefetcher". All of these options are enabled by default. While in most cases leaving these options enabled will provide optimum performance, there are workloads where disabling one or more of these options will improve performance. - *Important Notes:** CP015831.SCEXE ver. 2011.05.10 (B), which replaces the previous CP015590.SCEXE ver. 2011.05.10 (A), contains a documentation update only. 2011.05.10 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2011.05.10 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2011.05.10. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or operating system crash (such as a VMware ESX Purple Screen of Death - PSoD) when the system is in a virtualized environment. Resolved an issue that affects systems with specific DIMM configurations when the Advanced Memory Protection Mode is configured for Online Spare which can result in uncorrectable memory errors, correctable memory threshold errors, or system crashes after the system fails over to the spare memory. This affects systems with the following DIMM configurations: Memory channel configured with 3 or 5 ranks of memory (example is 1 Single Rank DIMM and one Dual Rank DIMM on a channel) and one rank on the memory channel is larger than all others and all other ranks are the same size. **Known Issues:** None - The maximum memory configuration supported by the platform has been increased to 1 Terabyte (TB). This configuration is achieved by installing one quad-rank 32 GB DIMM and two dual-rank 16 GB DIMMs in each memory channel. If this configuration was installed with previous revisions of the System ROM, system operation may have been unstable and/or all installed memory may not have been available to the operating system. Note that when 1 TB of DIMMs are installed in the system, 988 GB will be available to the operating system. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a rare condition where the server may fail to boot (no video output will be displayed) when the system is populated with a large number PCI/PCIe option cards and default settings are restored through the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Resolved an issue where certain systems may hang during early system boot (prior to any video display) after updating the System ROM to the January 29, 2011 or May 10, 2011 revisions. This issue only occurs on a very small number of systems and is dependent on the processor configuration. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs. With previous revisions of the System ROM, these DIMMs would function but would be limited to frequencies below 1600 MHz. With this revision of the System ROM, DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs will operate at 1600 MHz when using AMD Opteron 6200-series processors with all populated memory channels containing one Single or Dual-Rank DIMM. Added an Advanced Performance Tuning ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the CPU Cache Stride Prefetcher. The option can be found under the Advanced Options menu in RBSU. In very limited environments, disabling the stride prefetcher can give performance improvements. HP recommends leaving the stride prefetcher enabled in most environments. - *Important Notes:** Users should update to this version of the System ROM for any systems configured with AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors and the 10/02/2011 System ROM version. The 10/02/2011 System ROM version has a known issue that can result in a no boot condition with no video display, the system locking up or rebooting due to an uncorrectable memory error, or correctable memory threshold error events being reported when using AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors. These errors are due to a firmware issue and are not a result of a problem with the system hardware or installed DIMMs. Due to this issue, the 10/02/2011 System ROM has been removed from the HP Support Site. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue in the 10/02/2011 System ROM where the system may not boot with AMD Opteron-series 6100 processors and Low Voltage DDR3 DIMMs. In rare cases the system would boot and have an increased risk of memory ECC errors. The system would still correctly detect and log the memory errors. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for 4-core AMD Opteron 6200-series processors. While 4-core AMD Opteron 6200-series processors would boot and appear to work with previous revisions of the System ROM, this revision is the minimum required for proper operation. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the Integrated Management Log (IML) would not indicate an error event on certain error conditions that result in an unexpected reboot. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where systems running with AMD Opteron Series 6100 processors could experience uncorrectable memory address errors when running with the "Minimum Processor Idle Power State" ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option set to "C1E State (AMD C1 Clock Ramping)". This error may not be an indication of a failed DIMM or other system component, but rather an issue with memory initialization which is addressed by this revision of the System ROM. When running with the 12/29/2011 system ROM, this error will be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as an Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception with Bank 0x00000004, Status 0xXXXXXXXX'XXXDXXXX (where X indicates the value does not matter). HP recommends that users who are experiencing unexpected reboots with System ROMs earlier than the 12/29/2011 System ROM or Integrated Management Log entries as indicated when using the 12/29/2011 System ROM upgrade to this revision of the System ROM before replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to allow the system to run memory at the highest or lowest supported voltage. In some cases, operating at the highest voltage may result in higher memory frequency settings and improved performance. The option "DIMM Voltage Preference" can be used to select between "Optimized for Performance" and "Optimized for Power". The "Optimized for Power" selection will run memory at the lowest possible voltage and may provide power savings. Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the Stack Engine Prediction logic in the AMD Opteron Series 6200 processor. The option "Stack Engine Prediction" is enabled by default and HP does not recommend changing this setting. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where systems running with AMD Opteron Series 6200 processors would not enter the Core C6 processor power state even when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) "Minimum Processor Idle Power State" was set to the Default setting of "Core C6 (CC6) State". Functional Core C6 is a requirement to fully enable AMD Turbo CORE Technology. Addressed an issue where rare PCI Express Errors may have previously resulted in a system crash or unexpected system behavior without any source indicated. **Known Issues:** None - Updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) HP Power Profile option did not correctly configure the Minimum Processor Idle Power State option. Addressed an issue where software may incorrectly report PCIe devices installed in PCIe slot 6 as being installed in PCIe slot 0. This issue only affected the slot number reported in software and did not affect system behavior. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for AMD Opteron Series 6300 processors. Added support for Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU). When used with an operating system/hypervisor that support this functionality, IOMMU provides performance and security benefits. This functionality is disabled by default and is controlled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option. 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 Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) memory modules. This revision of the System ROM must be installed on the server prior to installing LRDIMMs as the server will not boot with previous revisions of the System ROM with these DIMMs installed. Added support for the HP ProLiant DL585 G7 with the NC331i embedded NIC. This revision of the System ROM supports ProLiant DL585 G7 servers with the NC331i embedded NIC and ProLiant DL585 G7 servers with the NC375i embedded NIC. The DL585 G7 with the NC331i embedded NIC is not supported with previous revisions of the System ROM. Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu that allows the user to enable the ACPI System Locality Distance Information Table (SLIT). This industry standard ACPI mechanism provides operating systems with the ability to read processor and I/O affinity to allow the operating system to intelligently distribute workloads to improve performance. Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option menu that allows the user to utilize 1 Terabyte or more memory. The option defaults to limiting memory addressing to just below 1TB because some Operating Systems will not operate correctly with 1 Terabyte or more available memory. If more than 1 Terabyte of memory is installed in the system and an Operating System that supports more than 1 Terabyte of memory is being used, configure the "One Terabyte Memory Limit" option to "Enable all memory" to allow use of all installed memory. Enhanced logging of system errors to the Integrated Management Log (IML). Certain errors that may have resulted in a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) (Windows Blue Screen, Linux kernel panic, or VMware Purple Screen of Death) or system reset without an IML entry will now have an IML entry indicating the error type. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where systems could reset unexpectedly. The unexpected reset would be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as "The system experienced an unexpected reboot. The Integrated Management Log (IML) may contain an entry indicating additional information about this reboot". Resolved an issue where systems configured with 1TB or more memory would reset unexpectedly after running for approximately 90 hours. The unexpected reset would be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as "The system experienced an unexpected reboot. The Integrated Management Log (IML) may contain an entry indicating additional information about this reboot". Systems configured with 1TB or more memory must update to this version of the system BIOS. Resolved an issue where the system clock may become inaccurate by up to few seconds per day. **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue that could result in a server reset or the inability to boot. Servers should be updated to this revision of the system ROM to minimize the potential for a system reset or the inability to boot. Resolved an issue where industry standard tools, operating systems, and HP utilities may report less Level 3 (L3) cache than expected. Resolved an issue that can result in significantly increased boot times and potentially degraded performance in an OS environment when 1 Terabyte (TB) of memory is installed and the One Terabyte Memory Limit option is configured to Enable All Memory in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue was a result of improperly configuring processor cache settings. This issue does not exist with any other memory configurations. Resolved an issue where the system may halt during boot when the HPC Optimization Option is enabled and the Power Profile mode is set to Maximum Performance or Custom. The halt may occur when the Power Profile is set to Custom with the Minimum Processor Idle Power State set to No C-states, and the HP Power Regulator is set to either HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode, HP Static Low Power Mode, or HP Static High Performance Mode. Resolved a rare issue where the system and IML may indicate an uncorrectable reset when upgrading to the 8/15/2012 system ROM. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Fixes:** Resolved an issue where enabling AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (AMD-Vi) also known as IOMMU might cause operating systems to boot incorrectly. This resolves an issue where the BIOS was not correctly configuring the system when the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for AMD Vi was enabled. Resolved an issue where systems with AMD Opteron 6200 series processors running VMWare ESXi 5.0 or other Operating Systems might randomly experience kernel panics (Purple Screen indicating CPU x tried to re-acquire lock) under moderate to heavy network stress between VMs. **Known Issues:** None - Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a rare issue that could result in DIMMs not initializing properly when using RDIMMs or LRDIMMs (UDIMMs are not affected). When this issue occurs, the server may stop responding during system boot with DIMM LEDs illuminated or boot with less than the expected amount of memory available to the operating system. If this issue occurs with previous revisions of the System ROM, the System ROM should be updated to this revision or later before replacing DIMMs. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the HP NC375i Integrated Quad Port Gigabit Adapter could cause system instability. The instability could result in unexpected resets with Uncorrectable Chipset errors reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML). In some cases Operating Systems might report errors. In addition, this issue might cause some versions of Microsoft Windows to boot into Recovery Mode. Resolved an issue with the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) "Processor Core Disable (AMD Core Select)" Option. The 06/04/2013 revision of the System ROM might cause some Operating Systems to report the incorrect number of cores when the "Processor Core Disable (AMD Core Select)" is set to non-default values. This issue did not impact any other revisions of the System ROM. **Known Issues:** None - Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option "Memory Proximity Reporting for I/O" that, when enabled, reports the proximity relationship between I/O devices and system memory to the operating system. Most operating systems can use this information to efficiently assign memory resources for devices such as network controllers and storage devices for improved performance. Certain I/O devices might not be able to take advantage of I/O handling benefits if their OS drivers are not properly optimized to support this feature. Please consult operating system and I/O device documentation for additional details. This option is disabled by default. This option is found in "Advanced Performance Tuning Options" under "Advanced Options". - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where VMware may stop responding and display a Purple Screen with the message "Exception 14: Page Fault" when running on AMD Opteron 6300 series processors. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the server blade was not defaulting the Auto Power-On option to enabled. This results in the server blade not automatically powering on when inserted into a c-Class enclosure. A server blade should automaticallly power on when installed in a c-Class enclsoure, but due to this issue, the power button had to be pressed before the server blade would power on. After updating to this revision of the System ROM, the user must restore the default configuration to ensure the Auto Power-On option is properly enabled. Alternately, the user could configure the Auto Power-On option to enabled without restoring defaults if the user does not wish to reset other configuration options using either the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) or via the iLO 3 interface via the Power Settings tab. **Known Issues:** None - Improved performance under certain workloads for systems configured with two AMD Opteron 6000-series processors when using a NUMA-aware operating system. Added support for Online Spare Memory. This feature improves system availability by providing additional protection against memory failures beyond Advanced ECC support.

Resolved an issue in ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) where menus for the Trusted Platform Module options are not displayed correctly for languages other than English. Resolved an issue in which the external USB ports are not properly disabled when the USB Control option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is configured to External USB Ports Disabled. Resolved an issue where the server may not wake up properly from an RTC Wakeup Event. Resolved an issue where Memory Channel Interleaving is incorrectly enabled even when configured to disabled in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) menu option selection. Memory Channel Interleaving is enabled by default, but this issue prevented the ability to disable the feature. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** CP014663.SCEXE ver. 2010.12.20 (B), which replaces the previous CP014532.SCEXE ver. 2010.12.20 (A), contains a documentation update only. 2010.12.20 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2010.12.20 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2010.12.20. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue in which uncorrectable memory errors (or other fatal system errors) will not be logged to the 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). The VMware ESX Server issue which causes this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1 and VMware ESX 4.0 U3. Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in uncorrectable memory errors being reported. This will result in a system reset and an error logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). If using certain revisions of VMware ESX Server, this issue will result in a fatal error (Purple Screen of Death - PSoD). This is NOT an issue with the DIMM(s) and is completely resolved by the work-around included in this revision of the System ROM. The issue does not occur if the Minimum Processor Idle State option in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is configured for No C-states. Resolved an issue where the system will not properly handle an Online Spare memory failover event. HP recommends that customers who configure the Advanced Memory Protection option for Online Spare Mode upgrade to this system ROM version to ensure proper operation. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or operating system crash (such as a Windows Blue Screen, Linux Kernel Panic, or VMware ESX PSoD) when the system is under heavy I/O load. This issue is typically seen with systems configured with a large amount of optional PCI- express expansion cards. 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 DVD drive. 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. **Known Issues:** None - 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. Added several performance tuning options into the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). The following options were added to RBSU: "Hardware Prefetch Training on Software Prefetch", "DRAM Prefetch on CPU Request", "DRAM Prefetch on I/O Request", and "CPU Core Hardware Prefetcher". All of these options are enabled by default. While in most cases leaving these options enabled will provide optimum performance, there are workloads where disabling one or more of these options will improve performance. Added the ability to configure the "NIC Personality Options" to iSCSI or FCoE for the HP NC553m 10Gb 2-Port FlexFabric Adapter in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or operating system crash (such as a VMware ESX Purple Screen of Death - PSoD) when the system is in a virtualized environment. Resolved an issue that affects systems with specific DIMM configurations when the Advanced Memory Protection Mode is configured for Online Spare which can result in uncorrectable memory errors, correctable memory threshold errors, or system crashes after the system fails over to the spare memory. This affects systems with the following DIMM configurations: Memory channel configured with 3 or 5 ranks of memory (example is 1 Single Rank DIMM and one Dual Rank DIMM on a channel) and one rank on the memory channel is larger than all others and all other ranks are the same size. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs. With previous revisions of the System ROM, these DIMMs would function but would be limited to frequencies below 1600 MHz. With this revision of the System ROM, DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs will operate at 1600 MHz when using AMD Opteron 6200-series processors with all populated memory channels containing Single or Dual-Rank DIMMs. Added an Advanced Performance Tuning ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the CPU Cache Stride Prefetcher. The option can be found under the Advanced Options menu in RBSU. In very limited environments, disabling the stride prefetcher can give performance improvements. HP recommends leaving the stride prefetcher enabled in most environments. ** ** - *Important Notes:** Users should update to this version of the System ROM for any systems configured with AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors and the 10/02/2011 System ROM version. The 10/02/2011 System ROM version has a known issue that can result in a no boot condition with no video display, the system locking up or rebooting due to an uncorrectable memory error, or correctable memory threshold error events being reported when using AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors. These errors are due to a firmware issue and are not a result of a problem with the system hardware or installed DIMMs. Due to this issue, the 10/02/2011 System ROM has been removed from the HP Support Site. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue in the 10/02/2011 System ROM where the system may not boot with AMD Opteron-series 6100 processors and Low Voltage DDR3 DIMMs. In rare cases the system would boot and have an increased risk of memory ECC errors. The system would still correctly detect and log the memory errors. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for 4-core AMD Opteron 6200-series processors. While 4-core AMD Opteron 6200-series processors would boot and appear to work with previous revisions of the System ROM, this revision is the minimum required for proper operation. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the Integrated Management Log (IML) would not indicate an error event on certain error conditions that result in an unexpected reboot. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where systems running with AMD Opteron Series 6100 processors could experience uncorrectable memory address errors when running with the "Minimum Processor Idle Power State" ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option set to "C1E State (AMD C1 Clock Ramping)". This error may not be an indication of a failed DIMM or other system component, but rather an issue with memory initialization which is addressed by this revision of the System ROM. When running with the 12/28/2011 system ROM, this error will be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as an Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception with Bank 0x00000004, Status 0xXXXXXXXX'XXXDXXXX (where X indicates the value does not matter). HP recommends that users who are experiencing unexpected reboots with System ROMs earlier than the 12/28/2011 System ROM or Integrated Management Log entries as indicated when using the 12/28/2011 System ROM upgrade to this revision of the System ROM before replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to allow the system to run memory at the highest or lowest supported voltage. In some cases, operating at the highest voltage may result in higher memory frequency settings and improved performance. The option "DIMM Voltage Preference" can be used to select between "Optimized for Performance" and "Optimized for Power". The "Optimized for Power" selection will run memory at the lowest possible voltage and may provide power savings. Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the Stack Engine Prediction logic in the AMD Opteron Series 6200 processor. The option "Stack Engine Prediction" is enabled by default and HP does not recommend changing this setting. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where systems running with AMD Opteron Series 6200 processors would not enter the Core C6 processor power state even when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) "Minimum Processor Idle Power State" was set to the Default setting of "Core C6 (CC6) State". Functional Core C6 is a requirement to fully enable AMD Turbo CORE Technology.

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). The VMware ESX Server issue which causes this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1 and VMware ESX 4.0 U3. Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in uncorrectable memory errors being reported. This will result in a system reset and an error logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). If using certain revisions of VMware ESX Server, this issue will result in a fatal error (Purple Screen of Death - PsoD). This is a result of a processor issue and is NOT an issue with the DIMM or the system board hardware. The processor issue is completely resolved by the work-around included in this revision of the System ROM. The issue does not occur if the Minimum Processor Idle State option in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is configured for No C-states. Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during POST after switching the embedded SATA controller from embedded SATA RAID Mode to embedded SATA AHCI Mode. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or operating system crash (such as a Windows Blue Screen, Linux Kernel Panic, or VMware ESX Purple Screen(PSoD)). This issue is typically seen under Hypervisor based Operating Systems. Under VMware Operating Systems, this would be seen as a Failed to ACK TLB invalidate PSoD. Resolved an issue that could result in industry standard tools not reporting the correct chassis serial number and asset tag information when the server node is installed in a DL2000 chassis. The industry standard SMBIOS Type 3 Record had only space values in the Serial Number and Asset Tag Number fields. Note that if any scripted tools were dependent on these fields, an update to the tool may be necessary as these fields will change (to their proper values) after the update to this revision of the System ROM. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an intermittent issue that can result in chassis information (including the Chassis Serial Number and Chassis Product ID) being reported incorrectly due to corruption of the chassis' FRU EEPROM. The information may be reported incorrectly via industry standard tools, iLO pages, or the SL-APM. This issue only affects servers installed into an HP DL2000 chassis. This issue only affects the 11/09/2011 release of the System ROM and would not affect platforms using any other revision of the System ROM. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where systems could experience uncorrectable memory address errors when running with the "Minimum Processor Idle Power State" ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option set to "C1E State (AMD C1 Clock Ramping)". This error may not be an indication of a failed DIMM or other system component, but rather an issue with memory initialization which is addressed by this revision of the System ROM. When running with the 11/09/2011 system ROM, this error will be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as an Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception with Bank 0x00000004, Status 0xXXXXXXXX'XXXDXXXX (where X indicates the value does not matter). HP recommends that users who are experiencing unexpected reboots with System ROMs earlier than the 11/09/2011 System ROM or Integrated Management Log entries as indicated when using the 11/09/2011 System ROM upgrade to this revision of the System ROM before replacing any hardware components. Resolved an intermittent issue where performance of a SmartArray controller cabled to the hard drive backplane of the DL2000 chassis may be degraded. To completely address this issue, customers will also need iLO Firmware version 1.28 or later. This issue only affects nodes operating in the DL2000 chassis. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where rare PCI Express Errors may have previously resulted in a system crash or unexpected system behavior without any source indicated. **Known Issues:** None - Enhanced logging of system errors to the Integrated Management Log (IML).

These erroneous temperatures can result in a memory location or DIMM being reported as overheating and could result in the system shutting down. Such an event would be logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) as a "System Overheating (Temperature Sensor _, Location Memory, Temperature _)" event. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for AMD Opteron Series 6300 processors. 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 configuration. Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option menu that allows the user to utilize 1 Terabyte or more memory. The option defaults to limiting memory addressing to just below 1TB because some Operating Systems will not operate correctly with 1 Terabyte or more available memory. If more than 1 Terabyte of memory is installed in the system and an Operating System that supports more than 1 Terabyte of memory is being used, configure the "One Terabyte Memory Limit" option to "Enable all memory" to allow use of all installed memory. Enhanced logging of system errors to the Integrated Management Log (IML). Certain errors that may have resulted in a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) (Windows Blue Screen, Linux kernel panic, or VMware Purple Screen of Death) or system reset without an IML entry will now have an IML entry indicating the error type. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where systems could reset unexpectedly. The unexpected reset would be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as "The system experienced an unexpected reboot.

Resolved an issue where the platform may experience a virtualization fault (which may result in a NMI or Machine Check Exception) when Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) is enabled under a Hypervisor based Operating System. In some instances, Linux kernel messaging (DMESG) would reflect an inability to enable IOMMO on the platform. Resolved an issue where systems configured with 1TB or more memory would reset unexpectedly after running for approximately 90 hours. The unexpected reset would be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as "The system experienced an unexpected reboot. The Integrated Management Log (IML) may contain an entry indicating additional information about this reboot". Systems configured with 1TB or more memory must update to this version of the system BIOS. Resolved an issue where the system clock may become inaccurate by up to few seconds per day. **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for HP Option ROM Prompting. This option is enabled by default. Disabling this option prevents HP Smart Array controllers and iLO from prompting to enter their setup tools during system boot. This allows for faster boot times. This option requires updated revisions of Smart Array Controller firmware and iLO Firmware to function. If this option is disabled, the HP Smart Array and iLO will continue to prompt to enter their setup tools if an updated revision of these firmware deliverables are not installed. Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for Reset on Boot Device Not Found. Enabling this option will cause the system to reset and reboot if no boot device is found. Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue that could result in a server reset or the inability to boot.

Resolved a rare issue where the system and IML may indicate an uncorrectable reset when upgrading to the 8/14/2012 system ROM. Resolved a rare issue where the system may experience a temporary loss of video, such as a blank screen on the local monitor and iLO Remote Console, if a key is pressed during POST during Option ROM Execution. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Fixes:** Resolved an issue where systems with AMD Opteron 6200 series processors running VMWare ESXi 5.0 or other Operating Systems might randomly experience kernel panics (Purple Screen indicating CPU x tried to re-acquire lock) under moderate to heavy network stress between VMs. **Known Issues:** None - Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a rare issue that could result in DIMMs not initializing properly when using RDIMMs or LRDIMMs (UDIMMs are not affected). When this issue occurs, the server may stop responding during system boot or boot with less than the expected amount of memory available to the operating system. A "232-Memory Initialization Error - Processor X, DIMM Y failed" (where X denotes the processor number and Y denotes the DIMM number) message may be displayed to the screen. If this issue occurs with previous revisions of the System ROM, the System ROM should be updated to this revision or later before replacing DIMMs. Resolved an issue where Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 will display the message "NMI is stuck" during boot when the HP Power Regulator option is set to HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** 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 language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). **Known Issues:** None - Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the System ROM would not properly retry devices in the Standard Boot Order (IPL) with certain Network Adapters. Addressed an issue where servers using the 11/02/2013 revision of the System ROM might not be able to boot certain operating system installations that install a Master Boot Record which 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 11/02/2013 revision. Resolved an issue with the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) "Processor Core Disable (AMD Core Select)" Option. The 06/09/2013 and 11/02/2013 revisions of the System ROM might cause some Operating Systems to report the incorrect number of cores when the "Processor Core Disable (AMD Core Select)" is set to non-default values. This issue did not impact any other revisions of the System ROM. **Known Issues:** None - Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option "Memory Proximity Reporting for I/O" that, when enabled, reports the proximity relationship between I/O devices and system memory to the operating system. Most operating systems can use this information to efficiently assign memory resources for devices such as network controllers and storage devices for improved performance. Certain I/O devices might not be able to take advantage of I/O handling benefits if their OS drivers are not properly optimized to support this feature. Please consult operating system and I/O device documentation for additional details. This option is disabled by default.

This tuning option allows the user to optimize the Power Regulator - Dynamic Power Savings Mode functionality based on the system's workload for improved power efficiency. Added the "Memory Speed with 3 DIMMs per Channel" option in the Advanced Performance Tuning Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow configuring the system to run DIMMs at 1333 MHz when up to two DDR3 DIMMs are installed on a memory channel (if all other requirements for 1333 MHz operation are met). This provides a performance increase with most workloads. By default, the system will operate a maximum of 1066 MHz when two DIMMs are installed on any memory channel. HP has validated this functionality with all HP DIMMs. It is recommend this setting remain at the default of 1066 MHz if non-HP DIMMs are installed in the system. Added support in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) for the 1066 MHz selection for the Maximum Memory Bus Frequency option under the Power Management Options menu. With some workloads, a memory speed of 1066 MHz is more power efficient than 1333 MHz. Added the Node Interleaving option in the Advanced Performance Tuning Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Enabling Node Interleaving disables the NUMA architecture properties of the system. All operating systems supported by this platform support NUMA architectures. In the majority of cases, optimum performance is obtained by disabling Node Interleaving. When this option is enabled, memory addresses will be interleaved across the memory installed for each processor. Some workloads may see improved performance when this option is enabled. - Resolved an issue where the server will hang during system boot without any message displayed if maintenance switch 6 is set to the ON position (for clearing the configuration of the server). If switch 6 is in the ON position a message should be displayed indicating this condition when system boot is halted. Resolved an issue where error messages from HP SmartArray controllers would be logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on every server boot, even after the error was resolved. Resolved an issue where the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning Options for HW Prefetcher and Adjacent Sector Prefetch would not properly disable the corresponding functionality. Resolved an issue where selecting "C3 State" for the Minimum Processor Idle Power State option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) would not properly select the C3 as the minimum available C-state. Instead, the availability of the C3-state would be removed and the available ability of the C6-state would remain (when it should have been removed). - Add support to disable individual network ports for the embedded network controller. This option is available in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) PCI Device Enable/Disable menu. By default, all network ports are enabled. Add support for 16GB DDR3 Registered Memory Modules which will be available from HP in the future. - Resolve a rare issue in which Correctable Memory Threshold errors or, in extremely rare cases, Uncorrectable Memory errors, may occur on the server. In these cases, the issue does NOT indicate an actual DIMM issue. This error is most likely to occur when the server's thermal environment changes between when the system boots and normal operation. Upgrading to this revision of the System ROM will resolve these issues. Resolve an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the System ROM must be updated to this revision. Resolve an issue where the server would not properly boot to a USB Optical Drive (CD or DVD) when a USB Drive Key is present on the internal USB port. Resolve an issue where the system may hang while booting the OS when a non- bootable USB 1.1 Mass Storage device, such as a USB security key, is plugged into the system. Resolve an issue where the blade server may hang during system boot after the ProLiant logo is displayed when an optional mezzanine card is installed. As this issue results in a hang during system boot, it may be required to remove all mezzanine cards to allow the System ROM to be upgraded. Resolve an issue where the server blade may intermittently report large allocated power values. This issue only occurs when a system is power cycled. This value is typically larger than the actual maximum power usage for the server blade and can lead to a loss of power redundancy in the enclosure or result in the inability to power on additional blades in the enclosure. - Resolved an issue where the user would automatically be prompted to set the Boot Controller Order the first time the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is run after having selected to Restore Default System Settings. Resolved an issue where the Administrative or Power-on password may not be set as expected if a user attempted to set a password longer than 7 characters. These passwords cannot be longer than 7 characters, and the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) will now stop accepting input after the seventh character. - Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Release 2. Added support for Collaborative Power Control. This feature, when using an operating system that supports this functionality (such as Windows Server 2008 Release 2), provides improved power management when HP Power Regulator is configured for HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode by allowing the operating system and platform firmware to work together to provide optimum control of processor frequency for improved power efficiency. This functionality has no impact on system operation if using an operating system that does not support this feature or if HP Power Regulator is not configured for HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode. The Collaborative Power Control selection in the Advanced Power Management Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) provides the capability to disable this feature. Only operating systems that support the PCC interface allow for Collaborative Power Control. At the time of release of this firmware, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is the only operating system that supports the PCC interface. Added support to allow an operating system to read power usage and the configured power cap value (configured power cap value available only when using HP Dynamic Power Capping). This functionality requires HP integrated Lights-Out 2 Firmware revision 1.79 or later. This functionality is only available when using an operating system that supports the ACPI Power Meter Device defined in the ACPI 4.0 specification. At the time of release of this firmware, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is the only operating system that supports this functionality. Added support to display the ambient temperature measured near the air intake of the system during system boot. Added the option to disable devices installed in PCI Express slots from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Previous revisions of the System ROM only allowed disabling embedded PCI-express devices. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - Resolved an issue where the iLO 2 Power Graphs may show excessive power peaks over the configured cap value when Dynamic Power Capping is enabled. Note that it is normal for some power peaks over the configured cap to occur which are within specification for HP Dynamic Power Capping and which do not affect circuit breaker protection. This revision of the System ROM does not affect these expected occurrences. Increased the amount of space available to load and execute option ROMs. In some cases, this may allow the option ROM of a device to be executed in instances where this was previously not possible. Modified the system manufacturer name, as stored in the industry standard SMBIOS tables, from "Hewlett-Packard" to "HP". While this will result in industry standard software referring to the platform as an "HP ProLiant" instead of a "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant", the most important aspect of this change is that it may affect customer scripts which looked for a manufacturer name of "Hewlett-Packard". In such cases, the customer's script will need to be updated. This change will result in the manufacturer name being consistent with previous generations of HP ProLiant servers which have always used "HP". Some customers were adversely affected when transitioning to G6 ProLiant servers because their scripts did not work because the manufacturer name had been changed to "Hewlett-Packard". Resolved an issue where error messages from HP Smart Array controllers would be logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on every server boot, even after the error was resolved. This issue was documented as fixed in a previous revision of the System ROM, but the original fix did not fully address the issue. Resolved an issue which could result in a system hang when installing the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 when the optional HP Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is installed and enabled in the system. This issue does not affect system operation if the system does not have the optional HP Trusted Platform Module installed or enabled. Resolved an issue where the server blade may hang during system boot when the optional PCI-X Expansion Blade is attached. This issue is not seen with all PCI-X cards plugged into the expansion blade. Added support for PCI-X and PCI Express option cards that request large amounts of non-prefetchable PCI memory (up to 1GB). While these option cards are extremely rare, they will now function properly. Updated text for ROM-Based Setup Utility menus for non-English languages. - *Upgrade Requirement:** Optional - Users should update to this firmware version if their system is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version. **Important Notes:** Firmware update, Version 2009.08.28, is the minimum version required for support of the ProLiant WS460c G6 and it is not intended to be used for the ProLiant BL460c G6. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a new Boot Override Menu during POST that can be entered by pressing the F11 key. This menu will allow the user to temporarily, for one boot only, override the current boot settings currently configured in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for displaying the Power Management Controller (PMC) Firmware version in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) information panel. Increased server power efficiency when the server is configured to take advantage of idle power states (C-states). Increased idle power savings will be observed if idle states are enabled in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) along with the proper Operating System support. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for using the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Asset Tag field as a Microsoft Windows 2003 SLP 1.0 Activation Marker. - *Upgrade Requirement:** Recommended HP recommends users update to this firmware version at their earliest convenience. **Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Updated the embedded NC532i PXE ROM image to 5.0.17 in order correct an issue where PXE boots fail when the PXE client is connected to a Flex10 device and requires a router to reach the PXE server. Resolved an issue where an Uncorrectable Memory Error is inaccurately reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) when a DIMM fails to properly initialize during system boot. The inaccurate message states "207-Uncorrectable Memory Error detected by ROM-based memory validation (Memory Module X)" where X indicates an incorrect DIMM number. The IML will now report "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." where X indicates the processor number and Y indicates the DIMM number for the DIMM that failed to initialize properly. Resolved an issue where the system would fail to boot certain USB Drive Keys or SD Cards. This issue was seen when USB Drive Keys or SD Cards configured with a boot loader such as GRUB. This issue only effects USB based devices and has no impact on installations to other mass storage devices. Resolved an issue where a space character was incorrectly preceding the actual serial number in the Chassis Serial Number string stored in the industry standard SMBIOS table Type 3 record. This modification should not impact customers unless they created an application which specifically read this data and expected a particular value which included the preceding space character. Resolved an issue where the ambient temperature is not displayed properly during system boot if the ambient temperature is below 0 Degrees Celsius. This issue only affects the display of the temperature on the screen during boot and does not affect operation of the system. **Known Issues:** None - Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called PCI-E De-Emphasis to provide a resolution for a rarely seen issue that can occur when using an HP NC382m NIC installed in mezzanine slot 1 which can result in a loss of NIC traffic, a system hang, or an NMI (which would cause a blue screen if using a Microsoft Windows operating system). If this issue is seen, configure the option to -3.5db. This issue will never occur if the PCI Express Generation 2.0 Support option in RBSU is configured for Force PCI-E Generation 1. Enhanced the look of the display during boot. The new enhanced look will be displayed by default. The Power-On Logo option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can be used to disable the enhanced display if desired. The enhanced display is not utilized if using an optional video card or if an iLO 2 TEXTCONs session is active. - *Upgrade Requirement:** Optional Users should update to this firmware revision if their system is affected by one of the documented fixesor if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this revision. **Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue which could cause correctable memory error threshold events or uncorrectable memory errors. This issue does not indicate a data issue with the DIMM and the System ROM upgrade will completely resolve this issue. Resolved an issue where the keyboard could stop responding after pressing the PAUSE key during system boot. This would prevent any further keyboard input from being accepted. Resolved the possibility of an extremely rare issue where the system could hang during system boot. This issue has never been observed on this platform. Resolved an issue where Restoring Default Settings from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) with a system containing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) could result in the system displaying a TPM initialization error during boot and halting the system. Resolved an issue where Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 would log erroneous warning messages into the system event log pertaining to the processor's frequency being limited by firmware in cases in which the frequency was not limited. This issue did not cause or indicate any actual performance degradation. The fix simply prevents the erroneous messages from being erroneously logged and does not change any behaviour of the processor, since there wasn't actually any performance capping being performed. Resolved an issue where Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 would log erroneous warning messages into the system event log pertaining to the processor's frequency being limited by firmware. The system firmware was incorrectly identifying slowness in frequency due to normal idle power state transitions as throttling due to power capping, even if power capping was not enabled or active. This fix simply prevents the warnings from being erroneously logged and does not change any behaviour of the processor, since there wasn't actually any performance capping being performed. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for Intel Xeon 5600 series quad-core and six-core processors. Added support for Low Voltage (1.35V) DDR3 DIMMs when Intel Xeon 5600-series processors are installed in the system. Added support to prevent the possibility of the server exceeding its allocated power budget if it is reset when managed as part of a Dynamic Group Power Cap. The server will now request permission to reset before doing so. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a very rare and intermittent issue where pressing keys during system boot could result in a hang or Red Screen illegal opcode. This issue only affects the system while booting through POST. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support for Intel Xeon 5600 series quad-core and six-core processors. Added support for Low Voltage (1.35V) DDR3 DIMMs when Intel Xeon 5600-series processors are installed in the system. **Known Issues:** None - Added new Advanced Performance Options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) for DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse. These options are only available when the system is using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors. These options are enabled by default (and are always enabled on previous revisions of the System ROM when using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors). While these options should remain enabled in most environments for optimum performance, in some high CPU- utilization environments disabling DCU Prefetcher and/or Data Reuse will improve overall performance. HP measurements indicate an ~8% performance increase with the SPECjbb2005 benchmark and ~4.6% performance increase with SAP when DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse are disabled. Added a new Turbo Boost Optimization option in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This option allows the user to choose between the traditional performance optimized behavior or a more power efficient behavior. This option is only valid when the Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature is enabled. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for HP's Converged Network Adapters (CNA). When a CNA capable mezzanine is installed, the user can configure the network boot protocol for iSCSI or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) from the ROM Based Setup Utility. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during the subsequent boot after changing the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM Based Setup Utility or via the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. This issue is only seen if the system is warm reset via the iLO power management interface or from a CTRL-ALT-DEL instead of properly exiting the configuration utilities. Resolved an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the System ROM must be updated to this revision. Resolved an issue that resulted in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 logging warning messages into the system event log pertaining to the processor's frequency being limited by firmware, or unexpected performance results. Prior to this workaround, the System Firmware was incorrectly mapping the Collaborate Power Control interface for a subset of installed processors. The issue could be observed with one and two socket Intel 5500 series XEON processor and two socket Intel 5600 series XEON configurations. As of the date of this release, only Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 installations with the default setting for Collaborative Power Control being left enabled, are affected. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** For servers using Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, resolve an issue where an Uncorrectable Memory Error or Exceeded Correctable Memory Error Threshold Event may occur. These errors may result in events logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) and the System Health LED illuminating blinking amber. Additionally, if an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs, the system will reset and error messages indicating the failure will be displayed during Power On Self Test (POST). These errors do not indicate a problem with the memory DIMMs or the server system board. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and is resolved by a new revision of Intel's microcode for Intel Xeon processor 5600 series that is implemented in this version of the System ROM. Intel Xeon processor 5500 series are not affected by this issue. Note: After completing the flash upgrade process for this revision of the System ROM, the server should be power cycled. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support for Nvidia Quadro 4000/5000/6000 cards to operate within the HP Graphics Expansion Blade. These new cards will now be recognized by the system firmware allowing the enablement of the Graphics Expansion Blade and Remote Graphics Mode from within the ROM Based Setup Utility. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running with the 10/13/2010 System ROM revisions. The 10/13/2010 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 **Enhancements/New Features:** 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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. **Known Issues:** None - 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 the System ROM flash update process to improve the reliability of System ROM updates and decrease the probability of unintended corruption of the flash part. Note: As enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp? locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 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. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). 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. - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.c om/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support to the HP ProLiant WS460c G6 for Nvidia Quadro 3000/1000 MXM Graphics Cards on a Multi-MXM PCIe card. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.c om/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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 with the Intel Xeon Processor X5675, Intel Xeon Processor X5690, and Intel Xeon Processor X5687 where a rare and complex combination of data and environmental conditions may result in some instructions not executing properly causing unpredictable system behavior. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and could impact any system using the affected processors listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains and updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix for customers utilizing the affected processors. This issue does not impact any processors that are not listed above. Addressed an issue where the platform may experience networking issues under heavy workloads with Operating Systems, such as Linux RedHat 6.2, and IRQ Balancing enabled in the Operating System. As a result of this issue, software may lose interrupts, receive spurious interrupts or cause a network disconnect. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.c om/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the system may experience a Blue Screen when booting Microsoft Windows 2003 with the 07/02/2013 revision of the System ROM. This issue only occurs with the 07/02/2013 revision of the System ROM and does not affect any previous revisions. Addressed an issue where Wake On LAN would not function properly with certain Networking devices. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - Added product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added the Hide Option ROM option to the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow the system to always display option ROM messages during system boot. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system would indicate an incorrect DIMM in the Integrated Management Log (IML) when a Correctable Memory Threshold Event is encountered. When this issue occurs, the system will indicate the incorrect DIMM in the DIMM pair as being degraded. For example, Memory Board 1, DIMM 1 will be indicated as failed (via the IML and DIMM LEDs) if a Correctable Memory Threshold Event actually occurs on Memory Board 1, DIMM 8. Customers who experience a Correctable Memory Threshold Event should update to this System ROM revision to ensure the correct DIMM is identified before replacing the DIMM. Resolved an issue where the system may hang during POST after video is displayed when switch 6 of the Server Maintenance Switch is set to the On position. Modified the system manufacturer name, as stored in the industry standard SMBIOS tables, from "Hewlett-Packard" to "HP". This will result in industry standard software identifying the platform as "HP ProLiant" instead of "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant". The most important aspect of this change is that it will affect customer scripts which look for a manufacturer name of "Hewlett-Packard". In such cases, the customer's script will need to be updated. This change will result in the manufacturer name being consistent with previous generations of HP ProLiant servers which have always used "HP". Some customers have been adversely affected when transitioning to the G6 ProLiant servers because their scripts will not work with the manufacturer name changed to "Hewlett-Packard". 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 HP System Management Homepage (SMH) or other software may incorrectly report the processor as "Quad Core Intel Xeon Processor.." for systems using Intel Xeon 7500-series processors with six cores. The processor will now be reported as "Intel Xeon Processor" by HP SMH and other software. This was a cosmetic issue only and did not affect operation of the system. Resolved an issue where the System ROM could incorrectly report and log a correctable memory error threshold event. This could result in the system reporting that a DIMM is degraded when a problem does not exist. Users should update to this System ROM before replacing DIMMs that are reported in such events. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for the latest Intel E7 Series Xeon processors. Added an option to enable or disable the SLIT in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Options\Advanced Performance Tuning Options menus. The System Locality Information Table (SLIT) describes the relative access times between processors, memory subsystems, and I/O subsystems. Operating Systems that support the SLIT can use this information to improve performance by allocating resources and workloads more efficiently. Added support for a new ROM-Based Setup (RBSU) Option called Enhanced Processor Core Disable (Intel Core Select) that allows the user to disable processor cores in pairs. This new option provides additional granularity over the Core disable option that is supported in previous revisions of the system rom. Added an Advanced ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called ACPI Device Enumeration that allows modifying the NIC device enumeration to match that of System ROMs revisions prior to 02/19/2011. The 02/19/2011 System ROM caused operating systems to modify how they enumerated NIC devices. This could result in Microsoft Windows operating systems displaying a "pop-up" indicating that the enumeration has changed. This could also cause issues with scripts no longer working as intended because the operating system NIC enumeration is no longer as expected. For systems whose operating system was deployed on a System ROM revision prior to 02/19/2011, this option allows the system to be configured such that the NIC device enumeration matches what was used when the operating system was installed. Enhanced the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the server through the support of Double Device Data Correction (DDDC) for servers shipping with Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family of processors. DDDC is a significant improvement over Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) allowing continued operation when up to two x4 DRAM devices fail within a DIMM pair allowing for substantially increased system up-time. For systems supporting only SDDC, the system cannot handle two DRAM device failures within a DIMM pair. There are no memory capacity or performance reductions associated with DDDC. Note that DDDC is not supported with Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series processors or with systems that shipped with Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series processors and were later updated to Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family processors as DDDC requires the Memory Cartridges included with servers that ship with Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family processors. DDDC is not supported when x8 DIMMs are installed in the server. Enhanced the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the server by adding support for HP Memory Quarantine based on Intel's Machine Check Recovery (MCA Recovery) architecture. HP Memory Quarantine is a mechanism where the memory controller, operating system, and System ROM work together to allow a server to recover from uncorrectable memory errors which would have otherwise resulted in system downtime. If memory affected by an uncorrectable memory error is currently not in use, the operating system can mark that region as unusable and not access it. If memory affected by an uncorrectable memory error has been allocated to an application or virtual machine, the operating system can close only that application or virtual machine rather than halt the entire system. HP Memory Quarantine will not protect against all uncorrectable memory errors, but can improve system uptime when using an operating system that provides the necessary support. If the installed operating system supports this feature, consult operating system documentation for additional information. - *Important Notes:** CP016415.SCEXE ver. 2011.05.23 (B), which replaces the previous CP016084.SCEXE ver. 2011.05.23 (A), contains a documentation update only. 2011.05.23 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2011.05.23 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2011.05.23. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or operating system crash (such as a VMware ESX Purple Screen of Death - PSoD) when the system is in a virtualized environment. Resolved an issue where the Operating System may report an intermittent Correctable Machine Check Bank 6 Error. This error is usually seen under Linux Operating Systems in the MCE Log and under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems in the WHEA Log. This error does not affect system operation and this revision of the System ROM prevents the Operating System from reporting the issue. Resolved an issue where the Operating System may report an Correctable Machine Check Bank 1 Error when ran on 5.8/4.8 GTs processors. This error is usually seen under Linux Operating Systems in the MCE Log and under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems in the WHEA Log. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for industry standard ACPI mechanisms that provide operating systems the ability to read processor and I/O affinity and allow operating systems to intelligently distribute workloads. In certain configurations performance is improved. - *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:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - 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. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where Low Latency Configurations would not function properly. **Known Issues:** None - The System ROM support has been enhanced to allow a system to continue booting when a memory training failure occurs. Previous versions of the System ROM would have halted during boot. When a memory training failure occurs, not all installed memory will be available to the operating system. The System ROM will log a 207 - Memory Initialization Error to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when this condition occurs. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely rare issue where the system might report an erroneous Uncorrectable Machine Check Event during a system reboot in the Integrated Management Log (IML). This error would typically be seen with the following IML information: Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception (Board 0, Processor 1, APIC ID 0x00000040, Bank 0x0000000E, Status 0xE6000000'0000094A, Address 0x00000000'FED20610, Misc 0x00000000'00000000). Customers who experience this event are asked to update to this version of the System ROM before contacting HP Support. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a System ROM issue that can result in the server locking up intermittently during system boot (POST). When this issue occurs, the server lock-up will be prior to any video output being displayed. If the server does not lock-up during system boot, the server will function properly. This issue can occur on both cold boots and warm boots. **Known Issues:** None - 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - 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. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. - *Important Notes:** After updating to this revision of the System ROM, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site for any ROM version 01/29/2011 or earlier.

Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu that allows the user to enable the ACPI System Locality Distance Information Table (SLIT). This industry standard ACPI mechanism provides operating systems with the ability to read processor and I/O affinity to allow the operating system to intelligently distribute workloads to improve performance. Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Option that allows the user to enable Consistent Device Naming support. When enabled, this option allows the BIOS to communicate Embedded Network Controller device naming to the Operating System so that the Operating System can present consistent naming for network devices. This option needs to be enabled prior to an Operating System installation in order to take effect. This option is not supported by all Operating Systems. Please consult Operating System documentation for additional details. Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the processor DCU IP Prefetcher in the Advanced Performance Options menu. With certain configurations, workloads, and benchmarks, disabling the DCU IP Prefetcher may provide improved performance. HP recommends leaving this option Enabled for most operating environments. Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** HP recommends that customers who configure their platforms to operate in Combined Channel (Locksetp) Mode update their servers to this System ROM release in order to ensure proper handling of memory error events. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where uncorrectable memory errors were not handled properly when the Memory Channel Mode was configured for Combined Channel Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Whenever an uncorrectable memory error occurs on memory attached to Processor 1, the following message could incorrectly be displayed during system boot: "Uncorrectable memory error detected on DIMM 0 or DIMM 0." The DIMM which experienced the error will be correctly indicated in the Integrated Management Log (IML). Whenever an uncorrectable memory error occurs on memory attached to Processor 2, a Red Screen error condition will be displayed during system boot and the system will be halted. No additional indication of the error will exist. By default, the Memory Channel Mode is configured to Independent Channel Mode (Non-Lockstep). Addressed an issue where the system may log erroneous error events to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs. An Uncorrectable Memory event will be properly logged to the IML in addition to any erroneous events. Addressed an issue where certain devices were not able to be properly disabled from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) PCI Enable/Disable Menu. In some instances when a device was disabled via RBSU, the device would remain enabled but would not have resources assigned appropriately and would not operate correctly. Addressed an issue where the server may stop responding during Operating System boot if Dynamic Power Capping is enabled and the server's power usage is close to the configured power cap wattage or if a thermal event is occurring. This issue only occurs during Operating System boot and will not affect a running Operating System. Addressed an issue where the ROM-Based Setup Utility option for Removable Flash Media Boot Sequence may not function properly when an SD Card is installed and iLO Virtual Media is enabled. Addressed an issue that can result in a server not responding during boot and a Red Screen Illegal Opcode being displayed when using PXELinux to boot to the local hard drive instead of the network drive. Removed the following options: Optimized for Performance, Optimized for Power Efficiency, and Optimized for Low Power from the Intel Turbo Boost Technology menu options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology options are now Enabled or Disabled. Intel Turbo Boost Technology will remain enabled for any server which had this option previously configured to anything except Disabled. To better optimize the behavior of Intel Turbo Boost Mode, the Advanced Power Management Option of Energy/Performance Bias should be utilized. Addressed an issue where the incorrect amount of memory was being displayed as reserved for Online Spare for certain LRDIMM configurations. This issue does not affect the operation of Online Spare mode and the only issue was the message being displayed during system boot.

Utilities to display this information may not yet be available. Added support to allow industry standard utilities to display the HP DIMM Part Number for HP SmartMemory DIMMs. This information will also be displayed in the HP iLO GUI interface when using an updated revision of iLO Firmware. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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 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. **Known Issues:** None - 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 language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the system may experience a no boot condition on the reset due to a fatal error.

Resolved an issue where no message was displayed and no Integrated Management Log (IML) entry is logged for certain memory errors that result in DIMMs not being usable. This issue would look like the operating system having access to less memory than is actually installed without any error indicated. Removed the Advanced ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable Data Direct I/O (DDIO). It is no longer recommended that users disable this option due to the negative impacts on system performance. For systems that had previously disabled Data Direct I/O, the option will remain disabled. Defaults must be restored on the system to re-enable this functionality for this situation. Resolved a rare issue where the system may experience a temporary loss of video, such as a blank screen on the local monitor and iLO Remote Console, if a key is pressed during POST during Option ROM Execution. Resolved an issue where the order in which processors are presented to the Operating System may change across multiple system boots. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where servers utilizing LRDIMMs may experience an extremely long boot process (~40 minutes). This issue is not intermittent. If the issue occurs, it will occur on every boot. This issue has NO impact on platforms without LRDIMMs installed. **Known Issues:** None - Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for the Intel Performance Counter Monitor Utility (iPCM). This feature can be enabled in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning Options menu. This option is disabled by default and must be enabled to utilize the Intel PCM. Added support to allow industry standard utilities to display the operating voltage of installed DIMMs as well as the minimum and maximum voltage supported by installed DIMMs. This System ROM revision supports newly defined industry standard fields in the industry standard SMBIOS tables. Utilities to display this information may not yet be available. Added support to allow industry standard utilities to display the HP DIMM Part Number for HP SmartMemory DIMMs. This information will also be displayed in the HP iLO GUI interface when using an updated revision of iLO Firmware. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for Intel Xeon E5-4600 v2 Series processors. Any system configured with Intel Xeon E5-4600 v2 Series processors MUST utilize this revision of the System ROM or later. Utilizing an earlier revision of the System ROM with Intel Xeon E5-4600 v2 Series processors will result in the system being unable to boot. 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 language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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 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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where Memory Address or Command Parity errors may occur on servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-4600 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 E5-4600 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 E5-4600 series processor. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for the latest names for PCIe expansion devices to the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Improved the power allocation logic for servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-4600 v2 series processors to more accurately determine the server's maximum power usage. Previous revisions of the System ROM allocated more power for server blades configured with Intel Xeon E5-4600 v2 series processors than was necessary. With this revision of the System ROM, the enclosure may have additional power available to allow additional blades to be powered on with certain power supply configurations. This change does not impact servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-4600 series processors. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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 E5-4600 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 E5-4600 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 issue that can result in significant underutilization of processor cores for systems configured with 3 or more processors. This issue impacts servers with the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for Collaborative Power Control enabled (which is the default setting). This issue was originally seen with servers configured with Microsoft Windows Server 2012, but might impact other operating systems. Addressed an extremely rare issue that can result in a system configured with Intel Xeon E5-4600 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 E5-4600 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 E5-4600 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for the latest names for PCIe expansion devices to the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed a rare issue where systems configured with Intel Xeon E5 2600 v2 processors and Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) in a 2 DIMM per Channel or 3 DIMM per Channel configuration may experience a 207 - Memory Initialization error message where certain DIMMs may not be initialized properly. This issue is seen intermittently after a system reboot. Addressed an issue where the server may become unresponsive during POST when an optional Video card is installed. Addressed an issue where certain option cards that request very large amounts of non-prefetchable memory will not function properly. This issue only impacts a very small number of non-HP option cards. Addressed an extremely rare issue where the server may experience an unexpected shutdown, usually seen as a power fault in the iLO Integrated Management Log (IML), when configured with certain Intel Xeon E5-4600 series processors. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for the HP Dynamic Smart Array B140i to allow the user to launch the HP Smart Storage Administrator (HPSSA) application from the System Utilities menu.

Updated the HpBiosAttributeRegistry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where under extremely rare circumstances the server may become unresponsive during boot after experiencing a fatal system error. When this issue occurs, the Integrated Management Log (IML) will not have any indication of the error. Addressed an issue where the Administrator Password and Power-On Password were incorrectly allowed to be entered with a length of 32 characters with previous revisions of the System ROM. These passwords should support a maximum length of 31 characters. If a 32 character Administrator Password or Power-On Password had been configured in the server, updating to this revision of the System ROM will no longer allow entering these passwords. In this case, the user must set Switch 5 to the ON position to disable these passwords. The Administrator Password and Power-On Password must then be re-entered into the system with a maximum length of 31 characters. Addressed a rare intermittent issue where the F10 prompt to enter Intelligent Provisioning is not displayed. Note that the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware had a similar issue. To address all cases of the F10 prompt not being displayed, also update the iLO Firmware to revision 2.02. Addressed an issue where selecting "Erase User Defaults" (to erase user defined defaults) in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) does not take effect if the user also selected Restore Default System Settings or Restore Default Manufacturing Settings. Addressed an issue where the Integrated Management Log (IML) or operating system log would report multiple error entries when an Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) occurs. Addressed an issue where the system may shutdown when a fatal error occurs in the pre-OS environment (such as the System Utilities or Embedded UEFI Shell) and not log any entry into the Integrated Management Log (IML). Addressed an issue where the server would become unresponsive during boot with DIMM configurations that include both when configured with 16GB and 32GB LRDIMMs. Addressed an issue where an HP Smart Array controller installed in a PCI Express Slot attached to Processor 2 may not be visible on the first boot after the server experiences an unexpected shutdown that requires using the HP Smart Storage Battery to backup storage data. Addressed an issue where the system would continue to run (server did not perform a Blue Screen or reset as expected) when a Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI) occurs when using Microsoft Windows 2008 or Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 when Processor x2APIC Support is configured to Enabled (the default value). This issue does not impact other operating systems. Addressed an issue where optical drives were not properly reported in the server One Time Boot Menu when the HP Smart Array B140i Smart Array controller is enabled. Addressed an issue where the server could experience a Red Screen reported as a General Protection Error when a user-initiated driver recover/rebuild operation is issued to the HP Dynamic Smart Array B140i controller. Addressed a rare issue in which the user was not prompted or was not prompted correctly when exiting the UEFI System Utilities. Addressed an issue with the fwupdate Embedded UEFI Shell command that may cause the system to become unresponsive during some firmware updates. Addressed an issue with the sysconfig Embedded UEFI Shell command that may cause the system to become unresponsive when using "sysconfig -d get userdefaults all" when the user defaults have not been configured. Addressed an issue where changing the boot order using the HP RESTful Interface may result in the system not responding to key presses for F9 (System Utilities) or F11 (Boot Menu) during subsequent system boot. Addressed an issue that resulted in incorrect association of PCI devices to BIOS Attributes in the HpBiosMappings resource of the HP RESTful Interface. Addressed an issue that could cause the server's Time Zone setting to be configured to an invalid value when non-volatile storage becomes corrupted due to a battery failure. Addressed an issue where HP Smart Array error messages are not logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). Addressed an issue that can result in an inability to access the Virtual Install Disk volume from the Embedded UEFI Shell. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where systems may experience one of the following conditions: A "207 - Memory Initialization Error" message and Integrated Management Log (IML) event which results from one or more DIMMs not being initialized and in which not all installed memory will be available to the operating system; a performance degradation (caused by an excessive amount of corrected memory errors but which may not have any indication that this is the cause); or a Corrected Memory Error Threshold event logged to the IML. If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources. Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. Added support for the HP BLc PCIe Expansion Blade and the HP D2220sb Storage Blade. Added support for the WS460c Gen9. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device. Addressed an issue where the system might become unresponsive during boot when an unsupported memory configuration is installed on processor 2. With this unsupported configuration, in this situation there is no user feedback on the monitor or in the Integrated Management Log (IML). With this revision of the System ROM, the system will properly display a message indicating the error and halt the boot process. Addressed an issue with some network devices name display in the System Utilities. Addressed an issue that would result in incorrect or corrupt UEFI boot order data, or malformed JSON output from the HP RESTFul API HpServerBootSettings resource. This also addresses an issue in configuring the server UEFI Boot Order using HP OneView and the HP RESTful API. Addressed an issue in accessing the file systems or booting to some RAID0 logical volumes off HP Smart Array controllers. This includes accessing the file system on such drivers in the System Utilities menus and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed an issue that might result in the BIOS Console Redirection support using the Virtual Serial Port to become non-functional. Addressed an issue with incorrect system time in Microsoft Windows operating systems when booted in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. When the system time or time zone are changed, on reboot the system time might 'jump' by the current operating system time zone offset. This issue does not occur when booting in UEFI Boot Mode. The change also removes the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for ACPI RTC Support. Addressed an issue where the system might experience a Machine Check Exception under heavy stress conditions when configured with an Intel Xeon E5-2609 processor. This issue does not affect any other processor models. Addressed an issue where the server might become unresponsive after a user has repeatedly entered and incorrect Power-On or Administrator Password. Addressed an issue where the server might become unresponsive after looping through the UEFI Boot Order an extended amount of time when no valid boot targets are detected. This issue only effects the server when configured in UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where a server might not be able to properly boot Windows Server 2008 R2 when configured with an Optional Graphics Card or GPGPU. Addressed an issue where the industry standard SMBIOS tables would not properly indicate the number of active cores when Intel Hyperthreading is disabled. The number of active cores would not be reported properly by some utilities. Addressed an issue where Wake On LAN does not function if the system was shutdown prior to booting an operating system (such as during the boot process or from the Embedded UEFI Shell). Wake On LAN does function properly if the system had been shut down from an operating system. Addressed an issue where the server would boot slowly when BIOS Serial Console was enabled to the iLO Virtual Serial Port. Addressed an issue where the server could be configured for Online Spare Memory Mode when the DIMM configuration did not support this mode. Addressed an issue where a USB key was still bootable when the USB Boot Functionality was disabled from System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Address an issue where the SysConfig command from the Embedded UEFI Shell could not be used to configure Secure Boot even when the user had indicated physical presence when entering the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed various issues where network boot support options might not be applied properly from HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. Addressed an issue where the Legacy Boot Order menu in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) might have incorrect port numbers when the server is configured in Legacy Boot Mode. This issue did not affect servers configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where a server configured with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 BitLocker might incorrectly prompt the user for a recovery password following a warm reset. Addressed an issue where messages displayed during the early boot process would not be displayed properly when viewed over BIOS Serial Console. Addressed an issue where the One Time Boot Menu includes network boot options for devices even when network boot is disabled for those devices. Addressed an issue where BIOS Serial Console redirection would not work properly when the terminal was configured in VT100+ mode and the server was configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where Linux dmesg might report a USB error message such as "EHCI: BIOS handoff failed" when the system was configured in Legacy Boot Mode. When this issue occurs, USB support still functions properly under the operating system and the error message is erroneous. This change only prevents the display of the erroneous message and does not impact USB functionality. Addressed several issues with the legacy USB support (USB support before the operating system loads) when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This includes addressing an issue where the system might log a 303/304 Keyboard controller failure error when certain USB KVMs are attached to the system. Addressed an issue where the SATA port numbers reported in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly match the port numbers reflected by labels on the system. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu that allows the user to enable or disable Dynamic Power Capping Functionality. This option is enabled by default. When disabled, a Power Calibration is not performed during system boot resulting in a boot time reduction of 15 seconds or more. When disabled, it will not be possible to configure a Dynamic Power Cap. Dynamic Power Capping Functionality must be enabled prior to configuring the cap. Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu that allows the user to enable the ACPI System Locality Distance Information Table (SLIT). This industry standard ACPI mechanism provides operating systems with the ability to read processor and I/O affinity to allow the operating system to intelligently distribute workloads to improve performance. Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Option that allows the user to enable Consistent Device Naming support. When enabled, this option allows the BIOS to communicate Embedded Network Controller device naming to the Operating System so that the Operating System can present consistent naming for network devices. This option needs to be enabled prior to an Operating System installation in order to take effect. This option is not supported by all Operating Systems. Please consult Operating System documentation for additional details. Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the processor DCU IP Prefetcher in the Advanced Performance Options menu. With certain configurations, workloads, and benchmarks, disabling the DCU IP Prefetcher may provide improved performance. HP recommends leaving this option Enabled for most operating environments. Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** HP recommends that customers who configure their platforms to operate in Combined Channel (Lockstep) Mode update their servers to this System ROM release in order to ensure proper handling of memory error events. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where uncorrectable memory errors were not handled properly when the Memory Channel Mode was configured for Combined Channel Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Whenever an uncorrectable memory error occurs on memory attached to Processor 1, the following message could incorrectly be displayed during system boot: "Uncorrectable memory error detected on DIMM 0 or DIMM 0." The DIMM which experienced the error will be correctly indicated in the Integrated Management Log (IML). Whenever an uncorrectable memory error occurs on memory attached to Processor 2, a Red Screen error condition will be displayed during system boot and the system will be halted. No additional indication of the error will exist. By default, the Memory Channel Mode is configured to Independent Channel Mode (Non-Lockstep). Addressed an issue where the system may log erroneous error events to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs. An Uncorrectable Memory event will be properly logged to the IML in addition to any erroneous events. Addressed an issue where certain devices were not able to be properly disabled from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) PCI Enable/Disable Menu. In some instances when a device was disabled via RBSU, the device would remain enabled but would not have resources assigned appropriately and would not operate correctly. Addressed an issue where the server may stop responding during Operating System boot if Dynamic Power Capping is enabled and the server's power usage is close to the configured power cap wattage or if a thermal event is occurring. This issue only occurs during Operating System boot and will not affect a running Operating System. Addressed an issue where the ROM-Based Setup Utility option for Removable Flash Media Boot Sequence may not function properly when an SD Card is installed and iLO Virtual Media is enabled. Addressed an issue that can result in a server not responding during boot and a Red Screen Illegal Opcode being displayed when using PXELinux to boot to the local hard drive instead of the network drive. Removed the following options: Optimized for Performance, Optimized for Power Efficiency, and Optimized for Low Power from the Intel Turbo Boost Technology menu options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology options are now Enabled or Disabled. Intel Turbo Boost Technology will remain enabled for any server which had this option previously configured to anything except Disabled. To better optimize the behavior of Intel Turbo Boost Mode, the Advanced Power Management Option of Energy/Performance Bias should be utilized. Addressed an issue where the incorrect amount of memory was being displayed as reserved for Online Spare for certain LRDIMM configurations. This issue does not affect the operation of Online Spare mode and the only issue was the message being displayed during system boot. Addressed an issue where the embedded Serial Port may show up with a "Yellow Bang" under Microsoft Windows Device Manager if disabled in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue only occurs if the serial port is disabled prior to the Operating System installation. Addressed an issue where the Intel NIC DMA Channels feature does not function properly in a dual-processor configuration. This option is disabled by default in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Modified the industry standard SMBIOS field for chassis height from unspecified to a value of 5 (indicating 5U) to allow for Location Discovery Services support for rack-mounted systems. If using Location Discovery Services, it is recommended that this System ROM revision or later is utilized. **Known Issues:** None - 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.

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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** 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.

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). **Known Issues:** None - Initial release. - Added support for the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for Dynamic Power Savings Mode Response under the Power Management Options menu. This tuning option allows the user to optimize the Power Regulator - Dynamic Power Savings Mode functionality based on the system's workload for improved power efficiency. Added support for the Power Supply High Efficiency Mode feature which is configured in the Power Management Options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This feature allows configuring how the system will handle redundant power supply configurations. High Efficiency Mode will provide the most power efficient operation with redundant power supplies by keeping one power supply in standby mode at lower power usage levels. Balanced Load will share the power delivery equally between both installed power supplies. This functionality requires the server to be upgraded to iLO 2 Firmware revision 1.77 or later. Added the "Memory Speed with 3 DIMMs per Channel" option in the Advanced Performance Tuning Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow configuring the system to run DIMMs at 1333 MHz when up to two DDR3 DIMMs are installed on a memory channel (if all other requirements for 1333 MHz operation are met). This provides a performance increase with most workloads. By default, the system will operate a maximum of 1066 MHz when two DIMMs are installed on any memory channel. HP has validated this functionality with all HP DIMMs. It is recommend this setting remain at the default of 1066 MHz if non-HP DIMMs are installed in the system. Added support in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) for the 1066 MHz selection for the Maximum Memory Bus Frequency option under the Power Management Options menu. With some workloads, a memory speed of 1066 MHz is more power efficient than 1333 MHz. Added the Node Interleaving option in the Advanced Performance Tuning Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Enabling Node Interleaving disables the NUMA architecture properties of the system. All operating systems supported by this platform support NUMA architectures. In the majority of cases, optimum performance is obtained by disabling Node Interleaving. When this option is enabled, memory addresses will be interleaved across the memory installed for each processor. Some workloads may see improved performance when this option is enabled. - Resolved an issue where the server will hang during system boot without any message displayed if maintenance switch 6 is set to the ON position (for clearing the configuration of the server). If switch 6 is in the ON position a message should be displayed indicating this condition when system boot is halted. Resolved an issue where error messages from HP SmartArray controllers would be logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on every server boot, even after the error was resolved. Resolved an issue where the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning Options for HW Prefetcher and Adjacent Sector Prefetch would not properly disable the corresponding functionality. Resolved an issue where selecting to Save User Defaults in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) could cause the loss of video display when using an optional video controller. Resolved an issue where selecting "C3 State" for the Minimum Processor Idle Power State option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) would not properly select the C3 as the minimum available C-state. Instead, the availability of the C3-state would be removed and the available ability of the C6-state would remain (when it should have been removed). Resolved an issue where the hard drive and/or system board zone temperatures reported from HP Systems Insight Manager or from the iLO 2 web interface would be displayed incorrectly. This issue is cosmetic only and does not affect system cooling. Resolved an issue where a system boot hang could occur if option cards are installed on the Secondary Riser and the Primary Riser is not present. - Add support to the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to enable Network Server Mode. When enabled, this option allows a PS/2 keyboard to be locked out (prevent input) until the Power On password is entered. Add support for 16GB DDR3 Registered Memory Modules which will be available from HP in the future. Add support to disable individual network ports for the embedded network controller. This option is available in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) PCI Device Enable/Disable menu. By default, all network ports are enabled. - Resolve a rare issue in which Correctable Memory Threshold errors or, in extremely rare cases, Uncorrectable Memory errors, may occur on the server. In these cases, the issue does NOT indicate an actual DIMM issue. This error is most likely to occur when the server's thermal environment changes between when the system boots and normal operation. Upgrading to this revision of the System ROM will resolve these issues. Resolve an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the System ROM must be updated to this revision. Resolve an issue where the server would not properly boot to a USB Optical Drive (CD or DVD) when a USB Drive Key is present on the internal USB port. Resolve an issue where the system may hang while booting the OS when a non- bootable USB 1.1 Mass Storage device, such as a USB security key, is plugged into the system. - Resolved an issue where the user would automatically be prompted to set the Boot Controller Order the first time the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is run after having selected to Restore Default System Settings. Resolved an issue where the Administrative or Power-on password may not be set as expected if a user attempted to set a password longer than 7 characters. These passwords cannot be longer than 7 characters, and the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) will now stop accepting input after the seventh character. - Added support to display the ambient temperature measured near the air intake of the system during system boot. Added the option to disable devices installed in PCI Express slots from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Previous revisions of the System ROM only allowed disabling embedded PCI-express devices. Added support to allow some industry standard utilities to display power supply information such as the power supply wattage and part number. Added support for Collaborative Power Control. This feature, when using an operating system that supports this functionality (such as Windows Server 2008 Release 2), provides improved power management when HP Power Regulator is configured for HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode by allowing the operating system and platform firmware to work together to provide optimum control of processor frequency for improved power efficiency. This functionality has no impact on system operation if using an operating system that does not support this feature or if HP Power Regulator is not configured for HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode. The Collaborative Power Control selection in the Advanced Power Management Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) provides the capability to disable this feature. Only operating systems that support the PCC interface allow for Collaborative Power Control. At the time of release of this firmware, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is the only operating system that supports the PCC interface. Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Release 2. Updated text for ROM-Based Setup Utility menus for non-English languages. Added support to allow an operating system to read power usage and the configured power cap value (configured power cap value available only when using HP Dynamic Power Capping). This functionality requires HP integrated Lights-Out 2 Firmware revision 1.79 or later. This functionality is only available when using an operating system that supports the ACPI Power Meter Device defined in the ACPI 4.0 specification. At the time of release of this firmware, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is the only operating system that supports this functionality. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for PCI-X and PCI Express option cards that request large amounts of non-prefetchable PCI memory (up to 1GB). While these option cards are extremely rare, they will now function properly. - Resolved an issue where the iLO 2 Power Graphs may show excessive power peaks over the configured cap value when Dynamic Power Capping is enabled. Note that it is normal for some power peaks over the configured cap to occur which are within specification for HP Dynamic Power Capping and which do not affect circuit breaker protection. This revision of the System ROM does not affect these expected occurrences. Increased the amount of space available to load and execute option ROMs. In some cases, this may allow the option ROM of a device to be executed in instances where this was previously not possible. Modified the system manufacturer name, as stored in the industry standard SMBIOS tables, from "Hewlett-Packard" to "HP". While this will result in industry standard software referring to the platform as an "HP ProLiant" instead of a "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant", the most important aspect of this change is that it may affect customer scripts which looked for a manufacturer name of "Hewlett-Packard". In such cases, the customer's script will need to be updated. This change will result in the manufacturer name being consistent with previous generations of HP ProLiant servers which have always used "HP". Some customers were adversely affected when transitioning to G6 ProLiant servers because their scripts did not work because the manufacturer name had been changed to "Hewlett-Packard". Resolved an issue where error messages from HP Smart Array controllers would be logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on every server boot, even after the error was resolved. This issue was documented as fixed in a previous revision of the System ROM, but the original fix did not fully address the issue. Resolved an issue which could result in a system hang when installing the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 when the optional HP Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is installed and enabled in the system. This issue does not affect system operation if the system does not have the optional HP Trusted Platform Module installed or enabled. - Added support for a new Boot Override Menu during POST that can be entered by pressing the F11 key. This menu will allow the user to temporarily, for one boot only, override the current boot settings currently configured in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for displaying the Power Management Controller (PMC) Firmware version in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) information panel. Increased server power efficiency when the server is configured to take advantage of idle power states (C-states). Increased idle power savings will be observed if idle states are enabled in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) along with the proper Operating System support. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for using the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Asset Tag field as a Microsoft Windows 2003 SLP 1.0 Activation Marker. - *Upgrade Requirement:** Optional Users should update to this firmware revision if their system is affected by one of the documented fixesor if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this revision. **Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where an Uncorrectable Memory Error is inaccurately reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) when a DIMM fails to properly initialize during system boot. The inaccurate message states "207-Uncorrectable Memory Error detected by ROM-based memory validation (Memory Module X)" where X indicates an incorrect DIMM number. The IML will now report "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." where X indicates the processor number and Y indicates the DIMM number for the DIMM that failed to initialize properly. Resolved an issue where the system would fail to boot certain USB Drive Keys or SD Cards. This issue was seen when USB Drive Keys or SD Cards configured with a boot loader such as GRUB. This issue only effects USB based devices and has no impact on installations to other mass storage devices. Resolved an issue which could result in the power supply state being reported as "warning" for a non-installed power supply by some industry standard utilities that read power supply information from the industry standard SMBIOS tables. This issue results in no functional issue for the system. The status was simply indicated incorrectly. Resolved an issue where the ambient temperature is not displayed properly during system boot if the ambient temperature is below 0 Degrees Celsius. This issue only affects the display of the temperature on the screen during boot and does not affect operation of the system. **Known Issues:** None - Enhanced the look of the display during boot. The new enhanced look will be displayed by default. The Power-On Logo option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can be used to disable the enhanced display if desired. The enhanced display is not utilized if using an optional video card or if an iLO 2 TEXTCONs session is active. - *Upgrade Requirement:** Optional Users should update to this firmware revision if their system is affected by one of the documented fixesor if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this revision. **Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue which could cause correctable memory error threshold events or uncorrectable memory errors. This issue does not indicate a data issue with the DIMM and the System ROM upgrade will completely resolve this issue. Resolved an issue where the keyboard could stop responding after pressing the PAUSE key during system boot. This would prevent any further keyboard input from being accepted. Resolved the possibility of an extremely rare issue where the system could hang during system boot. This issue has never been observed on this platform. Resolved an issue where Restoring Default Settings from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) with a system containing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) could result in the system displaying a TPM initialization error during boot and halting the system. Resolved an issue where Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 would log erroneous warning messages into the system event log pertaining to the processor's frequency being limited by firmware in cases in which the frequency was not limited. This issue did not cause or indicate any actual performance degradation. The fix simply prevents the erroneous messages from being erroneously logged and does not change any behaviour of the processor, since there wasn't actually any performance capping being performed. Resolved an issue where Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 would log erroneous warning messages into the system event log pertaining to the processor's frequency being limited by firmware. The system firmware was incorrectly identifying slowness in frequency due to normal idle power state transitions as throttling due to power capping, even if power capping was not enabled or active. This fix simply prevents the warnings from being erroneously logged and does not change any behaviour of the processor, since there wasn't actually any performance capping being performed. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for Intel Xeon 5600 series quad-core and six-core processors. Added support for Low Voltage (1.35V) DDR3 DIMMs when Intel Xeon 5600-series processors are installed in the system. Added support to prevent the possibility of the server exceeding its allocated power budget if it is reset when managed as part of a Dynamic Group Power Cap. The server will now request permission to reset before doing so. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a very rare and intermittent issue where pressing keys during system boot could result in a hang or Red Screen illegal opcode. This issue only affects the system while booting through POST. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support for Intel Xeon 5600 series quad-core and six-core processors. Added support for Low Voltage (1.35V) DDR3 DIMMs when Intel Xeon 5600-series processors are installed in the system. **Known Issues:** None - Added new Advanced Performance Options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) for DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse. These options are only available when the system is using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors. These options are enabled by default (and are always enabled on previous revisions of the System ROM when using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors). While these options should remain enabled in most environments for optimum performance, in some high CPU- utilization environments disabling DCU Prefetcher and/or Data Reuse will improve overall performance. HP measurements indicate an ~8% performance increase with the SPECjbb2005 benchmark and ~4.6% performance increase with SAP when DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse are disabled. Added a new Turbo Boost Optimization option in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This option allows the user to choose between the traditional performance optimized behavior or a more power efficient behavior. This option is only valid when the Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature is enabled. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the System ROM must be updated to this revision. Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during the subsequent boot after changing the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM Based Setup Utility or via the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. This issue is only seen if the system is warm reset via the iLO power management interface or from a CTRL-ALT-DEL instead of properly exiting the configuration utilities. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None** ** **Firmware Dependencies:** None** ** **Problems Fixed:** For servers using Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, resolve an issue where an Uncorrectable Memory Error or Exceeded Correctable Memory Error Threshold Event may occur. These errors may result in events logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) and the System Health LED illuminating blinking amber. Additionally, if an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs, the system will reset and error messages indicating the failure will be displayed during Power On Self Test (POST). These errors do not indicate a problem with the memory DIMMs or the server system board. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and is resolved by a new revision of Intel's microcode for Intel Xeon processor 5600 series that is implemented in this version of the System ROM. Intel Xeon processor 5500 series are not affected by this issue. Note: After completing the flash upgrade process for this revision of the System ROM, the server should be power cycled.** ** **Known Issues:** None - 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:** Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running with the 10/14/2010 System ROM revisions. The 10/14/2010 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:** 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** CP014794.SCEXE ver. 2011.01.30 (B), which replaces the previous CP014700.SCEXE ver. 2011.01.30(A), contains a documentation update only. 2011.01.30 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2011.01.30 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2011.01.30. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Option that allows configuring the system fans to always operate at their maximum speed. This option should only be used for configurations and environments that require more cooling than is provided when the system is configured for Optimal Cooling or Increased Cooling as this option results in increased power usage and increased acoustics. 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. **Known Issues:** None - 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 the System ROM flash update process to improve the reliability of System ROM updates and decrease the probability of unintended corruption of the flash part. Note: As enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp? locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 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. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). 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. - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM.

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 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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.c om/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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 with the Intel Xeon Processor X5675, Intel Xeon Processor X5690, and Intel Xeon Processor X5687 where a rare and complex combination of data and environmental conditions may result in some instructions not executing properly causing unpredictable system behavior. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and could impact any system using the affected processors listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains and updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix for customers utilizing the affected processors. This issue does not impact any processors that are not listed above. Addressed an issue where the platform may experience networking issues under heavy workloads with Operating Systems, such as Linux RedHat 6.2, and IRQ Balancing enabled in the Operating System. As a result of this issue, software may lose interrupts, receive spurious interrupts or cause a network disconnect. **Known Issues:** None - Initial release. - Added support for the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for Dynamic Power Savings Mode Response under the Power Management Options menu. This tuning option allows the user to optimize the Power Regulator - Dynamic Power Savings Mode functionality based on the system's workload for improved power efficiency. Added support for the Power Supply High Efficiency Mode feature which is configured in the Power Management Options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This feature allows configuring how the system will handle redundant power supply configurations. High Efficiency Mode will provide the most power efficient operation with redundant power supplies by keeping one power supply in standby mode at lower power usage levels. Balanced Load will share the power delivery equally between both installed power supplies. This functionality requires the server to be upgraded to iLO 2 Firmware revision 1.77 or later. Added the "Memory Speed with 3 DIMMs per Channel" option in the Advanced Performance Tuning Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow configuring the system to run DIMMs at 1333 MHz when up to two DDR3 DIMMs are installed on a memory channel (if all other requirements for 1333 MHz operation are met). This provides a performance increase with most workloads. By default, the system will operate a maximum of 1066 MHz when two DIMMs are installed on any memory channel. HP has validated this functionality with all HP DIMMs. It is recommend this setting remain at the default of 1066 MHz if non-HP DIMMs are installed in the system. Added support in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) for the 1066 MHz selection for the Maximum Memory Bus Frequency option under the Power Management Options menu. With some workloads, a memory speed of 1066 MHz is more power efficient than 1333 MHz. Added the Node Interleaving option in the Advanced Performance Tuning Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Enabling Node Interleaving disables the NUMA architecture properties of the system. All operating systems supported by this platform support NUMA architectures. In the majority of cases, optimum performance is obtained by disabling Node Interleaving. When this option is enabled, memory addresses will be interleaved across the memory installed for each processor. Some workloads may see improved performance when this option is enabled. - Resolved an issue where the server will hang during system boot without any message displayed if maintenance switch 6 is set to the ON position (for clearing the configuration of the server). If switch 6 is in the ON position a message should be displayed indicating this condition when system boot is halted. Resolved an issue where error messages from HP SmartArray controllers would be logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on every server boot, even after the error was resolved. Resolved an issue where the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning Options for HW Prefetcher and Adjacent Sector Prefetch would not properly disable the corresponding functionality. Resolved an issue where selecting to Save User Defaults in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) could cause the loss of video display when using an optional video controller. Resolved an issue where selecting "C3 State" for the Minimum Processor Idle Power State option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) would not properly select the C3 as the minimum available C-state. Instead, the availability of the C3-state would be removed and the available ability of the C6-state would remain (when it should have been removed). - Add support to the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to enable Network Server Mode. When enabled, this option allows a PS/2 keyboard to be locked out (prevent input) until the Power On password is entered. Add support to disable individual network ports for the embedded network controller. This option is available in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) PCI Device Enable/Disable menu. By default, all network ports are enabled. Add support for 16GB DDR3 Registered Memory Modules which will be available from HP in the future. - Resolve a rare issue in which Correctable Memory Threshold errors or, in extremely rare cases, Uncorrectable Memory errors, may occur on the server. In these cases, the issue does NOT indicate an actual DIMM issue. This error is most likely to occur when the server's thermal environment changes between when the system boots and normal operation. Upgrading to this revision of the System ROM will resolve these issues. Resolve an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the System ROM must be updated to this revision. Resolve an issue where the server would not properly boot to a USB Optical Drive (CD or DVD) when a USB Drive Key is present on the internal USB port. Resolve an issue where the system may hang while booting the OS when a non- bootable USB 1.1 Mass Storage device, such as a USB security key, is plugged into the system. - Resolved an issue where the user would automatically be prompted to set the Boot Controller Order the first time the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is run after having selected to Restore Default System Settings. Resolved an issue where the Administrative or Power-on password may not be set as expected if a user attempted to set a password longer than 7 characters. These passwords cannot be longer than 7 characters, and the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) will now stop accepting input after the seventh character. - Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Release 2. Added support for Collaborative Power Control. This feature, when using an operating system that supports this functionality (such as Windows Server 2008 Release 2), provides improved power management when HP Power Regulator is configured for HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode by allowing the operating system and platform firmware to work together to provide optimum control of processor frequency for improved power efficiency. This functionality has no impact on system operation if using an operating system that does not support this feature or if HP Power Regulator is not configured for HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode. The Collaborative Power Control selection in the Advanced Power Management Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) provides the capability to disable this feature. Only operating systems that support the PCC interface allow for Collaborative Power Control. At the time of release of this firmware, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is the only operating system that supports the PCC interface. Added support to allow an operating system to read power usage and the configured power cap value (configured power cap value available only when using HP Dynamic Power Capping). This functionality requires HP integrated Lights-Out 2 Firmware revision 1.79 or later. This functionality is only available when using an operating system that supports the ACPI Power Meter Device defined in the ACPI 4.0 specification. At the time of release of this firmware, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 is the only operating system that supports this functionality. Added support to allow some industry standard utilities to display power supply information such as the power supply wattage and part number. Added support to display the ambient temperature measured near the air intake of the system during system boot. Added the option to disable devices installed in PCI Express slots from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Previous revisions of the System ROM only allowed disabling embedded PCI-express devices. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - Resolved an issue where the iLO 2 Power Graphs may show excessive power peaks over the configured cap value when Dynamic Power Capping is enabled. Note that it is normal for some power peaks over the configured cap to occur which are within specification for HP Dynamic Power Capping and which do not affect circuit breaker protection. This revision of the System ROM does not affect these expected occurrences. Increased the amount of space available to load and execute option ROMs. In some cases, this may allow the option ROM of a device to be executed in instances where this was previously not possible. Modified the system manufacturer name, as stored in the industry standard SMBIOS tables, from "Hewlett-Packard" to "HP". While this will result in industry standard software referring to the platform as an "HP ProLiant" instead of a "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant", the most important aspect of this change is that it may affect customer scripts which looked for a manufacturer name of "Hewlett-Packard". In such cases, the customer's script will need to be updated. This change will result in the manufacturer name being consistent with previous generations of HP ProLiant servers which have always used "HP". Some customers were adversely affected when transitioning to G6 ProLiant servers because their scripts did not work because the manufacturer name had been changed to "Hewlett-Packard". Resolved an issue where error messages from HP Smart Array controllers would be logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on every server boot, even after the error was resolved. This issue was documented as fixed in a previous revision of the System ROM, but the original fix did not fully address the issue. Resolved an issue which could result in a system hang when installing the 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 when the optional HP Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is installed and enabled in the system. This issue does not affect system operation if the system does not have the optional HP Trusted Platform Module installed or enabled. Added support for PCI-X and PCI Express option cards that request large amounts of non-prefetchable PCI memory (up to 1GB). While these option cards are extremely rare, they will now function properly. Updated text for ROM-Based Setup Utility menus for non-English languages. - Added support for a new Boot Override Menu during POST that can be entered by pressing the F11 key. This menu will allow the user to temporarily, for one boot only, override the current boot settings currently configured in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for displaying the Power Management Controller (PMC) Firmware version in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) information panel. Increased server power efficiency when the server is configured to take advantage of idle power states (C-states). Increased idle power savings will be observed if idle states are enabled in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) along with the proper Operating System support. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Added support for using the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Asset Tag field as a Microsoft Windows 2003 SLP 1.0 Activation Marker. Improved power efficiency by reducing fan speeds when the optional PCI-X Riser is installed. Previously, fans would run slightly faster than required for cooling the system in this configuration. This modification does not affect systems if they do not have the optional PCI-X Riser installed. - *Upgrade Requirement:** Optional Users should update to this firmware revision if their system is affected by one of the documented fixesor if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this revision. **Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where an Uncorrectable Memory Error is inaccurately reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) when a DIMM fails to properly initialize during system boot. The inaccurate message states "207-Uncorrectable Memory Error detected by ROM-based memory validation (Memory Module X)" where X indicates an incorrect DIMM number. The IML will now report "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." where X indicates the processor number and Y indicates the DIMM number for the DIMM that failed to initialize properly. Resolved an issue where the system would fail to boot certain USB Drive Keys or SD Cards. This issue was seen when USB Drive Keys or SD Cards configured with a boot loader such as GRUB. This issue only effects USB based devices and has no impact on installations to other mass storage devices. Resolved an issue which could result in the power supply state being reported as "warning" for a non-installed power supply by some industry standard utilities that read power supply information from the industry standard SMBIOS tables. This issue results in no functional issue for the system. The status was simply indicated incorrectly. Resolved an issue where the ambient temperature is not displayed properly during system boot if the ambient temperature is below 0 Degrees Celsius. This issue only affects the display of the temperature on the screen during boot and does not affect operation of the system. Resolved an issue where fan numbers were reported incorrectly for fans that are not installed. Fan numbers for failed fans were always reported correctly. **Known Issues:** None - Enhanced the look of the display during boot. The new enhanced look will be displayed by default. The Power-On Logo option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can be used to disable the enhanced display if desired. The enhanced display is not utilized if using an optional video card or if an iLO 2 TEXTCONs session is active. - *Upgrade Requirement:** Optional Users should update to this firmware revision if their system is affected by one of the documented fixesor if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this revision. **Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue which could cause correctable memory error threshold events or uncorrectable memory errors. This issue does not indicate a data issue with the DIMM and the System ROM upgrade will completely resolve this issue. Resolved an issue where the keyboard could stop responding after pressing the PAUSE key during system boot. This would prevent any further keyboard input from being accepted. Resolved the possibility of an extremely rare issue where the system could hang during system boot. This issue has never been observed on this platform. Resolved an issue where Restoring Default Settings from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) with a system containing a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) could result in the system displaying a TPM initialization error during boot and halting the system. Resolved an issue where Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 would log erroneous warning messages into the system event log pertaining to the processor's frequency being limited by firmware in cases in which the frequency was not limited. This issue did not cause or indicate any actual performance degradation. The fix simply prevents the erroneous messages from being erroneously logged and does not change any behaviour of the processor, since there wasn't actually any performance capping being performed.

This fix simply prevents the warnings from being erroneously logged and does not change any behaviour of the processor, since there wasn't actually any performance capping being performed. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for Intel Xeon 5600 series quad-core and six-core processors. Added support for Low Voltage (1.35V) DDR3 DIMMs when Intel Xeon 5600-series processors are installed in the system. Added support to prevent the possibility of the server exceeding its allocated power budget if it is reset when managed as part of a Dynamic Group Power Cap. The server will now request permission to reset before doing so. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a very rare and intermittent issue where pressing keys during system boot could result in a hang or Red Screen illegal opcode. This issue only affects the system while booting through POST. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support for Intel Xeon 5600 series quad-core and six-core processors. Added support for Low Voltage (1.35V) DDR3 DIMMs when Intel Xeon 5600-series processors are installed in the system. **Known Issues:** None - Added new Advanced Performance Options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) for DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse. These options are only available when the system is using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors. These options are enabled by default (and are always enabled on previous revisions of the System ROM when using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors). While these options should remain enabled in most environments for optimum performance, in some high CPU- utilization environments disabling DCU Prefetcher and/or Data Reuse will improve overall performance. HP measurements indicate an ~8% performance increase with the SPECjbb2005 benchmark and ~4.6% performance increase with SAP when DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse are disabled. Added a new Turbo Boost Optimization option in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This option allows the user to choose between the traditional performance optimized behavior or a more power efficient behavior. This option is only valid when the Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature is enabled. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue that may result in memory instability. The following symptoms may be observed: System hang during boot with all DIMM LEDs illuminated (an Integrated Management Log (IML) entry indicating an "Uncorrectable Memory Error (module unknown)" or "Memory Configuration Error: System boot halted" may or may not be logged); Uncorrectable Memory Errors logged to the IML and "Uncorrectable memory error detected on Processor x DIMM y" message displayed during boot; Correctable Memory Error Threshold events logged to the IML; failure of some DIMMs to initialize resulting in the system booting with less memory available to the operating system than expected and a "207-Memory Initialization Error" message displayed during boot. For instances where these errors occur due to this System ROM issue, the errors do not indicate of a problem with the server hardware or the installed DIMMs. The System ROM should be upgraded to this revision or later before replacing hardware components due to these errors. This issue is more likely to result in memory instability with Intel Xeon 5600-series processors than Intel Xeon 5500-series processors and with processor and DIMM configurations that result in memory operating at 1333 MHz. HP requires customers update to this revision of the System ROM due to the potential impact of this issue. Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during the subsequent boot after changing the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM Based Setup Utility or via the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. This issue is only seen if the system is warm reset via the iLO power management interface or from a CTRL-ALT-DEL instead of properly exiting the configuration utilities. Resolved an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the System ROM must be updated to this revision. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** For servers using Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, resolve an issue where an Uncorrectable Memory Error or Exceeded Correctable Memory Error Threshold Event may occur. These errors may result in events logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) and the System Health LED illuminating blinking amber. Additionally, if an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs, the system will reset and error messages indicating the failure will be displayed during Power On Self Test (POST). These errors do not indicate a problem with the memory DIMMs or the server system board. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and is resolved by a new revision of Intel's microcode for Intel Xeon processor 5600 series that is implemented in this version of the System ROM. Intel Xeon processor 5500 series are not affected by this issue. Note: After completing the flash upgrade process for this revision of the System ROM, the server should be power cycled. **Known Issues:** None - 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:** Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running with the 10/13/2010 System ROM revisions. The 10/13/2010 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:** 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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. **Known Issues:** None - 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 the System ROM flash update process to improve the reliability of System ROM updates and decrease the probability of unintended corruption of the flash part. Note: As enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp? locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 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. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). 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. - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.c om/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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 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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.c om/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375 **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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 with the Intel Xeon Processor X5675, Intel Xeon Processor X5690, and Intel Xeon Processor X5687 where a rare and complex combination of data and environmental conditions may result in some instructions not executing properly causing unpredictable system behavior. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and could impact any system using the affected processors listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains and updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix for customers utilizing the affected processors. This issue does not impact any processors that are not listed above. Addressed an issue where the platform may experience networking issues under heavy workloads with Operating Systems, such as Linux RedHat 6.2, and IRQ Balancing enabled in the Operating System. As a result of this issue, software may lose interrupts, receive spurious interrupts or cause a network disconnect. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support for the Intel Xeon E7530 Processor, Intel Xeon X7542 Processor, and Intel Xeon L7555 Processor. Previous revisions of the System ROM did NOT support these processors. Improved performance for specific usage models which create process pools for servicing web requests similar to the workload created by the SPECweb2009 performance benchmark. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the System ROM could incorrectly report and log a correctable memory error threshold event. This could result in the system reporting that a DIMM is degraded when a problem does not exist. Users should update to this System ROM before replacing DIMMs that are reported in such events. Resolved an issue where Intel Xeon 7500-series Processors that support Intel Hyperthreading Technology may default to Hyper-threading disabled if an Intel Xeon 7500-series Processor which does not support Hyper-Threading had been previously installed in the system. Resolved an issue where an incorrect entry is logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when an Uncorrectable Memory occurs on a system configured for Mirrored Memory Mode. The IML would include a correct entry indicating the error was isolated down to a pair of DIMMs and an incorrect entry indicating that the error was isolated to a specific DIMM. It is not possible to isolate a failure to a specific DIMM on this platform. Resolved an issue where the system may hang during POST after video is displayed when switch 6 of the Server Maintenance Switch is set to the On position. Resolved an issue where the system may experience an Illegal Op-Code Red Screen (halting the system) when attempting to boot from the embedded NC532i Network Adapter. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system would not properly configure devices plugged into PCI-Express expansion slots when the devices had multiple PCI to PCI bridges. Resolved an issue where Microsoft Windows 2008 and Microsoft Windows 2003 may experience an unexpected system reset while loading when node interleaving is enabled. The default setting of the server is Node Interleaving disabled so this change will only impact users who have changed the system defaults. Modified the system manufacturer name, as stored in the industry standard SMBIOS tables, from "Hewlett-Packard" to "HP". This will result in industry standard software identifying the platform as "HP ProLiant" instead of "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant". The most important aspect of this change is that it will affect customer scripts which look for a manufacturer name of "Hewlett-Packard". In such cases, the customer's script will need to be updated. This change will result in the manufacturer name being consistent with previous generations of HP ProLiant servers which have always used "HP". Some customers have been adversely affected when transitioning to the G6 ProLiant servers because their scripts will not work with the manufacturer name changed to "Hewlett-Packard". Updated embedded PXE firmware to gPXE version 1.01 to address issues with PXE getting a valid DHCP address as well as performance issues with TFTP transfers following a PXE boot. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system could potentially hang in late POST after the System ROM displays the Inlet Ambient Temperature. The potential hang could occur when the system has Integrated Lights Out firmware version 1.15 or above and when the system has various expansion devices installed in PCI- Express slots. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system would indicate an incorrect DIMM in the Integrated Management Log (IML) and light the incorrect DIMM LED on the System Insight Display (SID) when a Correctable Memory Threshold Event is encountered. When this issue occurs, the system will indicate the incorrect DIMM in the DIMM pair as being degraded. For example, Memory Board 1, DIMM 1 will be indicated as failed (via the IML and DIMM LEDs) if a Correctable Memory Threshold Event actually occurs on Memory Board 1, DIMM 8. Customers who experience a Correctable Memory Threshold Event should update to this System ROM revision to ensure the correct DIMM is identified before replacing the DIMM. Resolved an issue where the system would not successfully complete POST (system resets during the middle of system boot) when the optional PCI-E Expander is installed and a large amount of PCI-E Expansion devices are present. This issue is not seen in all configurations but will become more likely as additional PCI-E devices are added to the system. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support for the latest Intel E7 Series Xeon processors. Added an option to enable or disable the SLIT in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Options\Advanced Performance Tuning Options menus. The System Locality Information Table (SLIT) describes the relative access times between processors, memory subsystems, and I/O subsystems. Operating Systems that support the SLIT can use this information to improve performance by allocating resources and workloads more efficiently. **Known Issues:** None - Enhanced the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the server through the support of Double Device Data Correction (DDDC) for servers shipping with Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family of processors. DDDC is a significant improvement over Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) allowing continued operation when up to two x4 DRAM devices fail within a DIMM pair allowing for substantially increased system up-time. For systems supporting only SDDC, the system cannot handle two DRAM device failures within a DIMM pair. There are no memory capacity or performance reductions associated with DDDC. Note that DDDC is not supported with Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series processors or with systems that shipped with Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series processors and were later updated to Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family processors as DDDC requires the Memory Cartridges included with servers that ship with Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family processors. DDDC is not supported when x8 DIMMs are installed in the server. Enhanced the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the server by adding support for HP Memory Quarantine based on Intel's Machine Check Recovery (MCA Recovery) architecture. HP Memory Quarantine is a mechanism where the memory controller, operating system, and System ROM work together to allow a server to recover from uncorrectable memory errors which would have otherwise resulted in system downtime. If memory affected by an uncorrectable memory error is currently not in use, the operating system can mark that region as unusable and not access it. If memory affected by an uncorrectable memory error has been allocated to an application or virtual machine, the operating system can close only that application or virtual machine rather than halt the entire system. HP Memory Quarantine will not protect against all uncorrectable memory errors, but can improve system uptime when using an operating system that provides the necessary support. If the installed operating system supports this feature, consult operating system documentation for additional information. Added support for a new ROM-Based Setup (RBSU) Option called Enhanced Processor Core Disable (Intel Core Select) that allows the user to disable processor cores in pairs. This new option provides additional granularity over the Core Disable Option that is supported in previous revisions of the System ROM. - *Important Notes:** CP016412.SCEXE ver. 2011.05.23 (B), which replaces the previous CP016066.SCEXE ver. 2011.05.23 (A), contains a documentation update only. 2011.05.23 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2011.05.23 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2011.05.23. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or operating system crash (such as a VMware ESX Purple Screen of Death - PSoD) when the system is in a virtualized environment. Resolved an issue where the Operating System may report an intermittent Correctable Machine Check Bank 6 Error. This error is usually seen under Linux Operating Systems in the MCE Log and under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems in the WHEA Log. This error does not affect system operation and this revision of the System ROM prevents the Operating System from reporting the issue. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for industry standard ACPI mechanisms that provide operating systems the ability to read processor and I/O affinity and allow operating systems to intelligently distribute workloads. In certain configurations performance is improved. - *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:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - 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. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems being upgraded to the new System Peripheral Interface (SPI) board which contains the HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port Adapter. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** Added support for the new System Peripheral Interface (SPI) Board containing the HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331i-SPI Adapter. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where Low Latency Configurations would not function properly. **Known Issues:** None - The System ROM support has been enhanced to allow a system to continue booting when a memory training failure occurs. Previous versions of the System ROM would have halted during boot. When a memory training failure occurs, not all installed memory will be available to the operating system. The System ROM will log a 207 - Memory Initialization Error to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when this condition occurs. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an extremely rare issue where the system might report an erroneous Uncorrectable Machine Check Event during a system reboot in the Integrated Management Log (IML). This error would typically be seen with the following IML information: Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception (Board 0, Processor 1, APIC ID 0x00000040, Bank 0x0000000E, Status 0xE6000000'0000094A, Address 0x00000000'FED20610, Misc 0x00000000'00000000). Customers who experience this event are asked to update to this version of the System ROM before contacting HP Support. Updated embedded PXE Firmware to gPXE Version 4.0.582. This firmware addresses an issue where the system might stop responding during deployment of VMware Vcenter 5.0 via PXE. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** 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 ProLiant DL580 G7 System ROM revisions. The actual BIOS Firmware contained within ver. 2013.10.01(B) did not change as compared to ver. 2013.10.01. If using BIOS Firmware ver 2013.10.01, it is not necessary to update to ver. 2013.10.01(B). **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the System ROM could incorrectly report and log a correctable memory error threshold event. This could result in the system reporting that a DIMM is degraded when a problem does not exist. Users should update to this System ROM before replacing DIMMs that are reported in such events. **Known Issues:** None - Added a Max Cooling (Blowout) option to the Advanced Options menu in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Enhanced the Increased Cooling option in the Advanced Options menu of the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to provide additional cooling as compared to the Optimal Cooling option. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system could potentially hang in late POST after the System ROM displays the Inlet Ambient Temperature. The potential hang could occur when the system has Integrated Lights Out 3 firmware version 1.15 or above and when the system has various expansion devices installed in PCI- Express slots. Resolved an extremely rare issue where the system may experience a hang when configured in Online Spare Memory Advanced Memory Protection Mode when an Online Spare copy event is in progress or Mirrored Memory Advanced Memory Protection Mode when a Mirror Failover event is in progress. Resolved an issue in the System ROM where certain operating systems would fail to boot, or would boot with some features disabled, when the system is configured with a Low Profile PCI-e I/O expansion board and no other IO expansion board. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for the latest Intel E7 Series Xeon processors. Added a DCU Prefetcher Enable/Disable selection into the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) under the Advanced Options/Advanced Performance Tuning Options menus. This option allows the user to disable data cache prefetching which may improve performance when using some workloads. With most workloads, the default of Enabled will provide optimal performance and users should verify the performance of their workload before disabling this option in a production environment. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the System ROM would indict an incorrect DIMM in the Integrated Management Log (IML) and light the incorrect DIMM LED on the System Insight Display (SID) when a Correctable Memory Threshold Event is encountered. When this issue occurs, the system will indicate the incorrect DIMM in the DIMM pair as being degraded. For example, Memory Board 1, DIMM 1 will be indicated as failed (via the IML and DIMM LEDs) if a Correctable Memory Threshold Event actually occurs on Memory Board 1, DIMM 8. Customers who experience a Correctable Memory Threshold Event should update to this System ROM revision to ensure the correct DIMM is identified before replacing the DIMM. Modified the system manufacturer name, as stored in the industry standard SMBIOS tables, from "Hewlett-Packard" to "HP". This will result in industry standard software identifying the platform as "HP ProLiant" instead of "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant". The most important aspect of this change is that it will affect customer scripts which look for a manufacturer name of "Hewlett-Packard". In such cases, the customer's script will need to be updated. This change will result in the manufacturer name being consistent with previous generations of HP ProLiant servers which have always used "HP". Some customers have been adversely affected when transitioning to the G6 ProLiant servers because their scripts will not work with the manufacturer name changed to "Hewlett-Packard". Resolved an issue where the System ROM would not properly configure devices plugged into PCI-Express expansion slots when the devices had multiple PCI to PCI bridges. Resolved an issue where the HP Survey tool delivered with HP Smart Start will indicate the "Correctable Error Threshold Count" as "Feature not Supported." This is a reporting issue only. The DIMM does support HP Pre-failure Alerting and the Correctable Error Threshold Count. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a new ROM Based Setup (RBSU) Option called Enhanced Processor Core Disable (Intel Core Select) that allows the user to disable processor cores in pairs. This new option provides additional granularity over the existing Core Disable Option that is supported in the current System ROMs. Enhanced the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the server through the support of Double Device Data Correction (DDDC) for servers shipping with Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family processors. DDDC is a significant improvement over Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) allowing continued operation when up to two x4 DRAM devices fail within a DIMM pair allowing for substantially increased system up-time. For systems supporting only SDDC, the system cannot tolerate two DRAM device failures within a DIMM pair. There are no memory capacity or performance reductions associated with DDDC.

HP Memory Quarantine will not protect against all uncorrectable memory errors, but can improve system uptime when using an operating system that provides the necessary support. If the installed operating system supports this feature, consult operating system documentation for additional information. - *Important Notes:** CP015949.SCEXE ver. 2011.06.24 (B), which replaces the previous CP015798.SCEXE ver. 2011.06.24 (A), contains a documentation update only. 2011.06.24 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2011.06.24 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2011.06.24. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** The System ROM may flag an incorrect DIMM pair in the Integrated Management Log (IML) and light the incorrect DIMM LEDs on the System Insight Display (SID) when an Uncorrectable Memory Error is encountered. When this issue occurs, the system may indicate the incorrect DIMM pair as being the culprit of the Uncorrectable Memory Error. Customers who experience an Uncorrectable Memory Error should update to this revision of the System ROM to ensure the correct DIMM pair is identified before replacing the DIMM pair. An MCE could occur during POST after a system power on or after an OS reboot. The SMBIOS Type 19 entry for CPU 1 reports an invalid memory range for CPU 1. This can be seen using Microsoft Windows Logo Kit (WLK) and Linux dmidecode. The System ROM uses OS owned memory if the user modifies the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) setting Advanced Options->Advanced System ROM Options->x2APIC from its default value of 'Disabled' to 'Auto' and there are 8 Intel(r) Xeon(r) E7 family processors installed. Unexpected system behavior can be seen including server hang during boot, Windows Blue Screens, VMware PSOD, or Linux Kernel Panics. A performance degradation issue was introduced in the previous system ROM dated 03/24/2011. Memory performance is impacted under certain workloads, updating to this BIOS resolves this issue and no other changes are required. The system may terminate unexpectedly while the Operating System is booting or running with uncorrectable Machine Check Exceptions logged in the Integrated Management Log (IML) if the Low Profile I/O option card is installed, and no other I/O option card is installed. Uncorrectable memory errors (or other fatal system errors) are not logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when using some revisions of VMware ESX Server. These errors resulted 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). The VMware ESX Server issue which causes this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1 and VMware ESX 4.0 U3. The Operating System may report an intermittent Correctable Machine Check Bank 6 Error. This error is usually seen under Linux Operating Systems in the MCE Log and under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems in the WHEA Log. This error does not affect system operation and this ROM update simply masks the Operating System from reporting the issue. **Known Issues:** None - Enabled Package C3E function for Intel Xeon E7 (Westmere-EX) processors to help reduce power consumption when the system is idle. Reduced the system boot up time. Added support for industry standard ACPI mechanisms that provide operating systems the ability to read processor and I/O affinity and allow operating systems to intelligently distribute workloads. In certain configurations performance is improved. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where Linux operating system doesn't bring up the cpufreq driver for half of the processors. The net result is half of the processors cannot be performance controlled by Operating System. This issue is typically seen when HP Power Regulator option is set to HP Dynamic Power Savings mode in Power Management options in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) with Intel Xeon E7 (Westmere-EX) processors installed. Addressed an issue where the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Command Line Interface (CLI) command "Core Select" causes the system to stop responding. The issue can also be seen when users modify Enhanced Processor Core Disable (Intel Core Select) in System Options in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Addressed an issue where some logical processors are showing yellow bang in device manager under Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 if the user changes the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) setting Advanced Options->Advanced System ROM Options->x2APIC from its default value "Disabled" to "Auto" on a system with 8 Intel(r) Xeon(r) E7 (Westmere-EX) processors installed. Addressed an issue where the fan speed displayed in System Information in the iLO web page is lower than 99%, when Thermal Configuration is set to "Max Fans (Blowout)", and Advanced Options and Intel (R) Hyperthreading Options is set to "Disabled" in Processor Options, in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). Addressed an issue where Virtual Serial Port on the iLO3 sometimes does not work on a system with 16 HP StorageWorks 82E PCIe FC HBA Dual Port I/O cards installed. Addressed an issue where occasionally the system may fail to boot and will display the following messages, "insufficient power solution" and "Warning ILO 3 not responding", after a system reboot. Addressed an issue where system may stop responding if alt-ctrl-del is pressed under DOS or after POST has finished. Addressed an issue where the system may fail during a rank spare failover event in certain memory configurations when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) setting, System Options->Advanced Memory Protection, is set to "Online Spare with Advanced ECC Support". Addressed an issue where all Emulex LUNs might not be discovered under Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. This issue can be seen if the user modifies the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) setting Advanced Options->Advanced System ROM Options->x2APIC from its default value of "Disabled" to "Auto" and there are 8 Intel Xeon E7 family processors installed. Addressed an issue where Japanese fonts are sometimes corrupt in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue is typically seen when a large amount of PCI- Express IO cards are installed in the system. Addressed an issue where the DIMM state reporting is incorrect in hpasmcli under RHEL when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) setting, "System Options->Advanced Memory Protection", is set to "Online Spare with Advanced ECC Support". When running hpasmcli under RHEL 5.5 to get DIMM status (hpasmcli -s "show dimm"), it may show some DIMMs that are installed and in use as: "DIMM is present, but not in use". Addressed an issue where the memory board ID is incorrect in DIMM System Product Data (SPD) when running hpdiags under Windows Server 2008 R2 or hpasmcli under RHEL to get the DIMM System Product Data (SPD). Addressed an issue where the system may stop responding during Operating System boot or run time without any event logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) due to a faulty Low Profile IO board, Sub-IO board, or main IO board installed. 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. **Known Issues:** System may stop responding during Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.X x86-64 (RHEL6.0 or later) startup or installation when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) setting Advanced Options->Advanced System ROM Options->x2APIC is set to "Auto" and there are 8 Intel Xeon E7 family processors installed. HP recommends to set x2APIC option to its default value as "Disabled" to avoid this issue. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where system may stop responding during Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.X x86-64 (RHEL6.0 or later) startup or installation when the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) setting Advanced Options->Advanced System ROM Options->x2APIC is set to "Auto" and there are 8 Intel Xeon E7 family processors installed. Addressed an issue where system may reboot unexpectedly during Operating System boot or run time without any processor event logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) due to one or more faulty cores in processors installed. Addressed an issue where Emulex LUNs might not all been discovered in disk management after running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Emulex adapters (drivers and tools). **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. - *Important Notes:** CP020490.SCEXE ver. 2012.12.28 (B), which replaces the previous CP019501.SCEXE ver. 2012.12.28 (A), contains a documentation update only. 2012.12.28 (A) is functionally equivalent to 2012.12.28 (B) and it is not necessary to upgrade with Revision B if Revision A was previously used to upgrade the system ROM to version 2012.12.28. **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system may stop responding during the initial startup screen of Red Hat Linux with the intel_iommu=on boot parameter enabled. This issue is typically seen when one or more HP Smart Array cards are present in the system and the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) option is enabled in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** 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 POST (Power-On Self-Test) screen would become scrambled and the system might fail to enter ROM-Based Setup Utilities (RBSU) after disabling some I/O cards from PCI Device Enable/Disable in RBSU, such as HP SN100E 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter, HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331T Adapter, HP Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 332T Adapter, etc. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for the DDDC (Double Device Data Correction) aware POST (Power On Self Test) feature, which will improve the system memory's RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the system may delay to POST or fail to boot when the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is enabled, this issue would typically be seen on every warm reboot. TPM does not work in an Operation System after a system boot. Addressed an extremely rare issue where the system might stop responding and reboot unexpectedly during an Operating System boot or run time, and reports a lot of Uncorrectable Machine Check Event in the IML (Integrated Management Log). This error would typically be seen with a lot of following IML information: Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception (Board 0, Processor 2, APIC ID 0x00000040, Bank 0x0000000E, Status 0xF6000000'00000972, Address 0x00000023'7B6E25C0, Misc 0x00000000'00000000). Customers who experience this event need to update to this version of the System ROM before contacting HP Support. Updated the embedded PXE Firmware to gPXE Version 4.0.582. This firmware addresses an issue where the system might stop responding during the deployment of VMware Vcenter 5.0 via PXE. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - Added new Advanced Performance Options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) for DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse. These options are only available when the system is using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors. These options are enabled by default (and are always enabled on previous revisions of the System ROM when using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors). While these options should remain enabled in most environments for optimum performance, in some high CPU- utilization environments disabling DCU Prefetcher and/or Data Reuse will improve overall performance. HP measurements indicate an ~8% performance increase with the SPECjbb2005 benchmark and ~4.6% performance increase with SAP when DCU Prefetcher and Data Reuse are disabled. Added a new Turbo Boost Optimization option in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This option allows the user to choose between the traditional performance optimized behavior or a more power efficient behavior. This option is only valid when the Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature is enabled. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during the subsequent boot after changing the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM Based Setup Utility or via the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. This issue is only seen if the system is warm reset via the iLO power management interface or from a CTRL-ALT-DEL instead of properly exiting the configuration utilities. Resolved an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the System ROM must be updated to this revision. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** For servers using Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, resolve an issue where an Uncorrectable Memory Error or Exceeded Correctable Memory Error Threshold Event may occur. These errors may result in events logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) and the System Health LED illuminating blinking amber. Additionally, if an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs, the system will reset and error messages indicating the failure will be displayed during Power On Self Test (POST). These errors do not indicate a problem with the memory DIMMs or the server system board. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and is resolved by a new revision of Intel's microcode for Intel Xeon processor 5600 series that is implemented in this version of the System ROM. Intel Xeon processor 5500 series are not affected by this issue. Note: After completing the flash upgrade process for this revision of the System ROM, the server should be power cycled. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved a System ROM issue that can result in the server locking up intermittently during system boot (POST). When this issue occurs, the server lock-up will be prior to any video output being displayed. If the server does not lock-up during system boot, the server will function properly. This issue can occur on both cold boots and warm boots. **Known Issues:** None - 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - 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. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. - *Important Notes:** After updating to this revision of the System ROM, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site for any ROM version 01/30/2011 or earlier. A customer can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the following link: [ http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?locale=en_US&obj ectID=c02838375](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp ?locale=en_US&objectID=c02838375) **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Command Line Interface (CLI) would not set the QPI Bandwidth Optimization (RTID) feature properly. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** Enhancing the flash upgrade process requires modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM.

This option is only valid when the Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature is enabled. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue that may result in memory instability. The following symptoms may be observed: System hang during boot with all DIMM LEDs illuminated (an Integrated Management Log (IML) entry indicating an "Uncorrectable Memory Error (module unknown)" or "Memory Configuration Error: System boot halted" may or may not be logged); Uncorrectable Memory Errors logged to the IML and "Uncorrectable memory error detected on Processor x DIMM y" message displayed during boot; Correctable Memory Error Threshold events logged to the IML; failure of some DIMMs to initialize resulting in the system booting with less memory available to the operating system than expected and a "207-Memory Initialization Error" message displayed during boot. For instances where these errors occur due to this System ROM issue, the errors do not indicate of a problem with the server hardware or the installed DIMMs. The System ROM should be upgraded to this revision or later before replacing hardware components due to these errors. This issue is more likely to result in memory instability with Intel Xeon 5600-series processors than Intel Xeon 5500-series processors and with processor and DIMM configurations that result in memory operating at 1333 MHz. HP requires customers update to this revision of the System ROM due to the potential impact of this issue. Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during the subsequent boot after changing the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM Based Setup Utility or via the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. This issue is only seen if the system is warm reset via the iLO power management interface or from a CTRL-ALT-DEL instead of properly exiting the configuration utilities. Resolved an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is enabled by default).

The 10/18/2010 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. **Known Issues:** None - Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - 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. Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM- Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **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. **Known Issues:** None - Optimized the memory settings to improve the reliability of the memory system. - *Important Notes:** After updating to this revision of the System ROM, the System ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the HP Support site for any ROM version 01/28/2011 or earlier.

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 language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). - *Important Notes:** 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.

If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources. Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device. Addressed an issue where the system might become unresponsive during boot when an unsupported memory configuration is installed on processor 2. With this unsupported configuration, in this situation there is no user feedback on the monitor or in the Integrated Management Log (IML). With this revision of the System ROM, the system will properly display a message indicating the error and halt the boot process. Addressed an issue with some network devices name display in the System Utilities. Addressed an issue that would result in incorrect or corrupt UEFI boot order data, or malformed JSON output from the HP RESTFul API HpServerBootSettings resource. This also addresses an issue in configuring the server UEFI Boot Order using HP OneView and the HP RESTful API. Addressed an issue in accessing the file systems or booting to some RAID0 logical volumes off HP Smart Array controllers. This includes accessing the file system on such drivers in the System Utilities menus and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed an issue that might result in the BIOS Console Redirection support using the Virtual Serial Port to become non-functional. Addressed an issue with incorrect system time in Microsoft Windows operating systems when booted in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. When the system time or time zone are changed, on reboot the system time might 'jump' by the current operating system time zone offset. This issue does not occur when booting in UEFI Boot Mode. The change also removes the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for ACPI RTC Support. Addressed an issue where the system might experience a Machine Check Exception under heavy stress conditions when configured with an Intel Xeon E5-2609 processor. This issue does not affect any other processor models. Addressed an issue where the server might become unresponsive after a user has repeatedly entered and incorrect Power-On or Administrator Password. Addressed an issue where the server might become unresponsive after looping through the UEFI Boot Order an extended amount of time when no valid boot targets are detected. This issue only effects the server when configured in UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where a server might not be able to properly boot Windows Server 2008 R2 when configured with an Optional Graphics Card or GPGPU. Addressed an issue where the industry standard SMBIOS tables would not properly indicate the number of active cores when Intel Hyperthreading is disabled. The number of active cores would not be reported properly by some utilities. Addressed an issue where Wake On LAN does not function if the system was shutdown prior to booting an operating system (such as during the boot process or from the Embedded UEFI Shell). Wake On LAN does function properly if the system had been shut down from an operating system. Addressed an issue where the server would boot slowly when BIOS Serial Console was enabled to the iLO Virtual Serial Port. Addressed an issue where the server could be configured for Online Spare Memory Mode when the DIMM configuration did not support this mode. Addressed an issue where a USB key was still bootable when the USB Boot Functionality was disabled from System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU).

Addressed various issues where network boot support options might not be applied properly from HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. Addressed an issue where the Legacy Boot Order menu in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) might have incorrect port numbers when the server is configured in Legacy Boot Mode. This issue did not affect servers configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where a server configured with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 BitLocker might incorrectly prompt the user for a recovery password following a warm reset. Addressed an issue where messages displayed during the early boot process would not be displayed properly when viewed over BIOS Serial Console. Addressed an issue where the One Time Boot Menu includes network boot options for devices even when network boot is disabled for those devices. Addressed an issue where BIOS Serial Console redirection would not work properly when the terminal was configured in VT100+ mode and the server was configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where Linux dmesg might report a USB error message such as "EHCI: BIOS handoff failed" when the system was configured in Legacy Boot Mode. When this issue occurs, USB support still functions properly under the operating system and the error message is erroneous. This change only prevents the display of the erroneous message and does not impact USB functionality. Addressed several issues with the legacy USB support (USB support before the operating system loads) when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This includes addressing an issue where the system might log a 303/304 Keyboard controller failure error when certain USB KVMs are attached to the system. Addressed an issue where the SATA port numbers reported in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly match the port numbers reflected by labels on the system. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for the HP Dynamic Smart Array B140i to allow the user to launch the HP Smart Storage Administrator (HPSSA) application from the System Utilities menu.

Updated the HpBiosAttributeRegistry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where under extremely rare circumstances the server may become unresponsive during boot after experiencing a fatal system error. When this issue occurs, the Integrated Management Log (IML) will not have any indication of the error. Addressed an issue where the Administrator Password and Power-On Password were incorrectly allowed to be entered with a length of 32 characters with previous revisions of the System ROM. These passwords should support a maximum length of 31 characters. If a 32 character Administrator Password or Power-On Password had been configured in the server, updating to this revision of the System ROM will no longer allow entering these passwords. In this case, the user must set Switch 5 to the ON position to disable these passwords. The Administrator Password and Power-On Password must then be re-entered into the system with a maximum length of 31 characters. Addressed a rare intermittent issue where the F10 prompt to enter Intelligent Provisioning is not displayed. Note that the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware had a similar issue. To address all cases of the F10 prompt not being displayed, also update the iLO Firmware to revision 2.02.

This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources. Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device.

Wake On LAN does function properly if the system had been shut down from an operating system. Addressed an issue where the server would boot slowly when BIOS Serial Console was enabled to the iLO Virtual Serial Port. Addressed an issue where the server could be configured for Online Spare Memory Mode when the DIMM configuration did not support this mode. Addressed an issue where a USB key was still bootable when the USB Boot Functionality was disabled from System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Address an issue where the SysConfig command from the Embedded UEFI Shell could not be used to configure Secure Boot even when the user had indicated physical presence when entering the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed various issues where network boot support options might not be applied properly from HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. Addressed an issue where the Legacy Boot Order menu in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) might have incorrect port numbers when the server is configured in Legacy Boot Mode. This issue did not affect servers configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where a server configured with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 BitLocker might incorrectly prompt the user for a recovery password following a warm reset. Addressed an issue where messages displayed during the early boot process would not be displayed properly when viewed over BIOS Serial Console. Addressed an issue where the One Time Boot Menu includes network boot options for devices even when network boot is disabled for those devices. Addressed an issue where BIOS Serial Console redirection would not work properly when the terminal was configured in VT100+ mode and the server was configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where Linux dmesg might report a USB error message such as "EHCI: BIOS handoff failed" when the system was configured in Legacy Boot Mode. When this issue occurs, USB support still functions properly under the operating system and the error message is erroneous. This change only prevents the display of the erroneous message and does not impact USB functionality. Addressed several issues with the legacy USB support (USB support before the operating system loads) when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This includes addressing an issue where the system might log a 303/304 Keyboard controller failure error when certain USB KVMs are attached to the system. Addressed an issue where the SATA port numbers reported in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly match the port numbers reflected by labels on the system. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where systems may experience one of the following conditions: A "207 - Memory Initialization Error" message and Integrated Management Log (IML) event which results from one or more DIMMs not being initialized and in which not all installed memory will be available to the operating system; a performance degradation (caused by an excessive amount of corrected memory errors but which may not have any indication that this is the cause); or a Corrected Memory Error Threshold event logged to the IML. If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources.

When this issue occurs, the Integrated Management Log (IML) will not have any indication of the error. Addressed an issue where the Administrator Password and Power-On Password were incorrectly allowed to be entered with a length of 32 characters with previous revisions of the System ROM. These passwords should support a maximum length of 31 characters. If a 32 character Administrator Password or Power-On Password had been configured in the server, updating to this revision of the System ROM will no longer allow entering these passwords. In this case, the user must set Switch 5 to the ON position to disable these passwords. The Administrator Password and Power-On Password must then be re-entered into the system with a maximum length of 31 characters. Addressed a rare intermittent issue where the F10 prompt to enter Intelligent Provisioning is not displayed. Note that the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware had a similar issue. To address all cases of the F10 prompt not being displayed, also update the iLO Firmware to revision 2.02. Addressed an issue where selecting "Erase User Defaults" (to erase user defined defaults) in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) does not take effect if the user also selected Restore Default System Settings or Restore Default Manufacturing Settings. Addressed an issue where the Integrated Management Log (IML) or operating system log would report multiple error entries when an Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) occurs. Addressed an issue where the system may shutdown when a fatal error occurs in the pre-OS environment (such as the System Utilities or Embedded UEFI Shell) and not log any entry into the Integrated Management Log (IML). Addressed an issue where the server would become unresponsive during boot with DIMM configurations that include both when configured with 16GB and 32GB LRDIMMs. Addressed an issue where an HP Smart Array controller installed in a PCI Express Slot attached to Processor 2 may not be visible on the first boot after the server experiences an unexpected shutdown that requires using the HP Smart Storage Battery to backup storage data. Addressed an issue where the system would continue to run (server did not perform a Blue Screen or reset as expected) when a Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI) occurs when using Microsoft Windows 2008 or Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 when Processor x2APIC Support is configured to Enabled (the default value). This issue does not impact other operating systems. Addressed an issue where optical drives were not properly reported in the server One Time Boot Menu when the HP Smart Array B140i Smart Array controller is enabled. Addressed an issue where the server could experience a Red Screen reported as a General Protection Error when a user-initiated driver recover/rebuild operation is issued to the HP Dynamic Smart Array B140i controller.

Addressed an issue that could cause the server's Time Zone setting to be configured to an invalid value when non-volatile storage becomes corrupted due to a battery failure. Addressed an issue where HP Smart Array error messages are not logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). Addressed an issue that can result in an inability to access the Virtual Install Disk volume from the Embedded UEFI Shell. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where systems may experience one of the following conditions: A "207 - Memory Initialization Error" message and Integrated Management Log (IML) event which results from one or more DIMMs not being initialized and in which not all installed memory will be available to the operating system; a performance degradation (caused by an excessive amount of corrected memory errors but which may not have any indication that this is the cause); or a Corrected Memory Error Threshold event logged to the IML. If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources. Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device. Addressed an issue where the system might become unresponsive during boot when an unsupported memory configuration is installed on processor 2. With this unsupported configuration, in this situation there is no user feedback on the monitor or in the Integrated Management Log (IML). With this revision of the System ROM, the system will properly display a message indicating the error and halt the boot process. Addressed an issue with some network devices name display in the System Utilities. Addressed an issue that would result in incorrect or corrupt UEFI boot order data, or malformed JSON output from the HP RESTFul API HpServerBootSettings resource. This also addresses an issue in configuring the server UEFI Boot Order using HP OneView and the HP RESTful API. Addressed an issue in accessing the file systems or booting to some RAID0 logical volumes off HP Smart Array controllers. This includes accessing the file system on such drivers in the System Utilities menus and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed an issue that might result in the BIOS Console Redirection support using the Virtual Serial Port to become non-functional. Addressed an issue with incorrect system time in Microsoft Windows operating systems when booted in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. When the system time or time zone are changed, on reboot the system time might 'jump' by the current operating system time zone offset. This issue does not occur when booting in UEFI Boot Mode. The change also removes the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for ACPI RTC Support. Addressed an issue where the system might experience a Machine Check Exception under heavy stress conditions when configured with an Intel Xeon E5-2609 processor. This issue does not affect any other processor models. Addressed an issue where the server might become unresponsive after a user has repeatedly entered and incorrect Power-On or Administrator Password. Addressed an issue where the server might become unresponsive after looping through the UEFI Boot Order an extended amount of time when no valid boot targets are detected. This issue only effects the server when configured in UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where a server might not be able to properly boot Windows Server 2008 R2 when configured with an Optional Graphics Card or GPGPU. Addressed an issue where the industry standard SMBIOS tables would not properly indicate the number of active cores when Intel Hyperthreading is disabled. The number of active cores would not be reported properly by some utilities. Addressed an issue where Wake On LAN does not function if the system was shutdown prior to booting an operating system (such as during the boot process or from the Embedded UEFI Shell). Wake On LAN does function properly if the system had been shut down from an operating system. Addressed an issue where the server would boot slowly when BIOS Serial Console was enabled to the iLO Virtual Serial Port. Addressed an issue where the server could be configured for Online Spare Memory Mode when the DIMM configuration did not support this mode. Addressed an issue where a USB key was still bootable when the USB Boot Functionality was disabled from System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Address an issue where the SysConfig command from the Embedded UEFI Shell could not be used to configure Secure Boot even when the user had indicated physical presence when entering the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed various issues where network boot support options might not be applied properly from HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. Addressed an issue where the Legacy Boot Order menu in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) might have incorrect port numbers when the server is configured in Legacy Boot Mode. This issue did not affect servers configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where a server configured with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 BitLocker might incorrectly prompt the user for a recovery password following a warm reset. Addressed an issue where messages displayed during the early boot process would not be displayed properly when viewed over BIOS Serial Console. Addressed an issue where the One Time Boot Menu includes network boot options for devices even when network boot is disabled for those devices. Addressed an issue where BIOS Serial Console redirection would not work properly when the terminal was configured in VT100+ mode and the server was configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where Linux dmesg might report a USB error message such as "EHCI: BIOS handoff failed" when the system was configured in Legacy Boot Mode. When this issue occurs, USB support still functions properly under the operating system and the error message is erroneous. This change only prevents the display of the erroneous message and does not impact USB functionality. Addressed several issues with the legacy USB support (USB support before the operating system loads) when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This includes addressing an issue where the system might log a 303/304 Keyboard controller failure error when certain USB KVMs are attached to the system. Addressed an issue where the SATA port numbers reported in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly match the port numbers reflected by labels on the system. **Known Issues:** None - *Enhancements/New Features: ** Support for HP ProLiant BL 460c G7 server.

Added support for iSCSI boot with NC551m FlexFabric adapters and FlexFabric/Flex-10 modules. - *Important Notes: ** Read the latest version of HP Virtual Connect Release Notes. It can be found in the User Guide section, under the URL: [http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentT ype=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945 &prodSeriesId=3552695](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Docume ntIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=10 1&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695) **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue, that can result in a network outage, when a profile is created with duplicate multiple networks. Resolved an issue were Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) will reset modules that have port mirroring enabled when VCM restarts, and will casue a network outage. Resolved an issue were VC modules do not provide information about CPU, part number, etc. via Command Line Interface (CLI). Resolved an issue when using VC CLI, were a user is unable to add LDAP groups with names containing spaces. Resolved an issue when a profile is created with multiple networks that use a Shared Uplink Set (SUS) without selecting any networks, and if this profile is applied to a server with Flex NICs, this will result in a segmentation fault, VCM SEGV. Resolved an issue were 'About' HP VCM pop-up window was causing IE8 to crash, which results, in the About table not being displayed. Resolved an issue with VCM SEGV when the user has a profile (with multiple networks defined in a connection without a network being configured), then edits the profile without making any changes, and then applies the profile to a server with Flex-10 LOM. **Known Issues: **In a double-dense domain configuration, interconnect bays 7 and 8 should not be used to create a FC Fabric. The fabric should instead be created on bays 5 and 6. If a fabric is created on bays 7 or 8 using VCMCLI, an incorrect error message may be displayed 'ERROR: Module not found' instead of 'ERROR: A fabric is not allowed to be created with the specified bay for a double-sense configuration' When a Blade server port has multiple FlexNICs defined (one of them is defined as FCoE) and the FCoE FlexNIC is deleted, the band width does not redistribute to other active FlexNICs even through the GUI will show it has. If the Primary VC modules loses power or is removed, a Profile Status change trap is not sent as it should be. Work-around: When the Primary VC module loses power or is removed, the cpqHoSWRunninagStatusChangeTrap trap (defined in the cpqhost.mib MIB) will be sent by the backup VC module when it becomes Primary. A sample trap is shown below: Enterprise Specific Trap (.11017) Uptime: 20 days, 2:54:46.44, SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: bay2TC, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.11.1.0 = INTEGER: 10, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "aus-c7000-13_vc_domain", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.3.1 = STRING: "HP Virtual Connect Domain Manager", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.2.0 = STRING: "VCM Domain status trap", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.4.1 = STRING: "3.15", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.12.1 = INTEGER: 4, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 = INTEGER: 5, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.14.1 = STRING: "VcD_6f54796e7543", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 = INTEGER: 2 The two MIB OIDs in the trap above to analyze are: enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 These OIDs will contain the following values when the Backup VC module has become the Primary: cpqHoSWRunningConfigStatus : operational(5) cpqHoSWRunningRedundancyMode : master(2) When upgrading from a pre-3.00 VC release, if Fibre Channel SNMP traps were defined with DNS type of the Trap Destination address, upon completion of the upgrade SNMP settings will not be applied to the VC-FC modules. Work-around: Edit any FC SNMP trap destinations, using the GUI or CLI, that have a DNS name for the trap destination and change the DNS name to an IPv4 address. When Virtual Connect has assigned a Server Profile to a server, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can't modify the protocol configuration (iSCSI/FCoE) of any NIC (including the 551m), even if the NIC is not connected to a Virtual Connect module. Any protocol configuration changes must be made when the Server Profile is not assigned to the server. - *Firmware Dependency: ** OA: Minimum firmware version: 3.11 / Recommended version: 3.21 Generic firmware dependency is documented in the HP Virtual Connect Release Notes. It can be found in the 'User Guide' section, under the URL: _[http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695_](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695) **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the primary VC module could not communicate with other modules due to a problem with the reverse DNS lookup when DNS is enabled in the VC infrastructure. Resolved an issue where the VCM GUI was using HTTP instead of HTTPS. Resolved an issue where changes in the SNMP configuration caused an outage. Resolved an issue where updating gen numbers while creating or assigning a profile caused a NO-COMM state. Resolved a GUI issue where renaming the associated network on the Edit Ethernet Network screen cleared the native property. Resolved a GUI issue where clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen caused a popup message to appear stating that there are no server connections to display, even when server profiles with assigned networks existed. Resolved a GUI issue where the Calculating Server Connections progress bar hung after clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen. Resolved an issue where OA would enter NO-COMM state when multiple VC Enet modules were reset at the same time and then reconfigured. The VC Ethernet Module recovery algorithm has been optimized to recover Odd side modules and then Even side modules (previously was a full reset/recovery of all modules in parallel). Depending on configuration of the Domain, this will reduce or eliminate Network outage during a full enclosure recovery. Resolved loss of FC connectivity when an 8Gb/24-Port VC-FC Module receives a multi-sequence frame from an in band Storage Management application (application was executing on a server within the c7000 enclosure). Resulted in a 8Gb/24-Port FC Module reset and loss of FC connectivity. Resolved an issue when the VC-FC 24-Port Module would not recover from an NO-COMM state after an OA failover. The IP address for the FC Module was not being updated correctly, and blocking the proper communication with the Primary VC Module. Resolved an issue where VCM reported a NO-COMM state for a VC-FC module, even though the VC-FC module was still responding to a ping command. Resolved an issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version information did not display correctly on the OA rack firmware page. This resolution requires OA version 3.30. Resolved an issue with VC Manager failing to retrieve configuration generation number from VC Ethernet Module. Resolved an issue where the network nativelan setting cleared after adding another network. Resolved an issue where an hpvcm_deleteManagedObjects return code error occurred when deleting a profile. Resolved an issue that delayed the startup time on an enclosure with eight Flex-10/FlexFabric modules. Resolved a performance issue where adding a single network caused an update of all configured networks. Resolved an issue where firmware details did not display on a Firefox browser window. Resolved an issue where FCoE login took longer than expected when changing between fabrics. Resolved an issue where the VCM CLI command "set enet-vlan" did not return an error for the command "set enet-vlan VlanTagControl=Tunnel SharedServerVlanId=true". Resolved an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blade issue where there were problems disconnecting Flex-10 ports with I/O modules that do not support Flex-10, which could result in disabled network ports appearing as enabled. Resolved a GUI issue where titles on the Device Bay Summary screen were not displayed consistently. Resolved an issue where an SNMP trap configuration with only FC traps selected could not have an associated set of severities. Resolved an issue where an error was not indicated for login redistribution for a degraded/failed SAN in external connections. Resolved a GUI issue for HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blades where the entries in the Server Ethernet Adapter Information table did not properly collapse and expand. Resolved an issue found in an Integrity FlexFabric environment where the HP-UX boot path was lost while unassigning and reassigning a profile. Resolved an issue for a race condition between module recovery and enclosure recovery when an enclosure was recovering from an enclosure NO-COMM condition. Resolved an issue when recovering from a module NO-COMM state where the correct module state is properly tracked to avoid unnecessary failure for LANIO calls and GenNumber requests. Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version is displayed as "Not Available" in OA, but VCM has the correct firmware version information. Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the DHCP client in the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware became corrupted, causing the FC module to stop responding to VCM, resulting in a NO-COMM state. Resolved an issue when VC modules coming out of NO-COMM state, they may not be in sync with each other, which will result in unexpected additional module failures. Resolved a restriction where customers need to put the VC domain in VCEM maintenance mode in order to get the support dump. Resolved an issue where the GUI will state that the event manager registration has expired and then the user is logged out of the GUI unexpectedly. Resolved an FC connection outage due to a failure of the Virtual Connect Flex Fabric primary module. During the Backup Module recovery, the error caused a full Virtual Connect reset and recovery which created the outage. Resolved an issue with growing memory utilization on HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet modules when Blades are in a PXE Boot loop. Resolved an issue with a small memory leak found in stpd when handling of subport MED data update notices. Resolved an issue where a VC domain will get into NO-COMM state after performing OA failover and then fail back. Resolved an issue where the Private Networks filter rules were not updated when LAG (Link Aggregation Group) membership changes. Resolved an issue where when a module recovers from NO-COMM state, the stacking links will show failed status even though there is no real operational problem. Made adjustment for the Maximum RSS memory limit for graceful VC management process shutdown. - *Firmware Dependency: ** OA: Minimum firmware version: 3.11 / Recommended version: 3.30 Generic firmware dependency is documented in the HP Virtual Connect Release Notes.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.
