Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HP recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
Important Notes:
This System ROM flash does require a bootblock flash using AFUDOS. There is NO online flash capability with this ROM release.
Firmware Dependencies:
None
Problems Fixed:
Resolved an issue where the server will not boot when replacing a hard disk drive with a different drive model number. The new BIOS allows a selection for a newly added hard drive with a different model number to be placed at the bottom of the hard disk drive boot sequence.
Resolved an issue where the server was unable to boot from PXE NIC using the IPMITOOL chassis bootdev pxe command.
Resolved an issue where the ESC+Q and ESC+( keys would not properly switch between serial console and LO100 CLP.
Resolved an issue where the Mellanox 10Gb PCIe Single Port NIC would intermittently fail to train to the correct speed.
Resolved an issue where the NC362i NIC would periodically initialize at x! PCIe bandwidth on a reboot.
Resolved an issue where the web (HTTP) connection to LO100 management is disabled each time the user enters the ROM Setup Utility and executes a Save and Exit.

|
Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HP recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
Important Notes:
SP55180 ver. 2011.09.01 (B) provides the same system ROM image as SP54779 ver. 2011.09.01 (A). Support is added in ver. 2011.09.01 (B) to perform the System ROMPaq Flash without user interface. The user does not need to flash the system ROM with ver. 2011.09.01 (B) if the system has previously been flashed with ver. 2011.09.01 (A).
This SoftPaq version will execute the "afudos" utility to upgrade the system bios due to a bootblock change.
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 Event Log 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 Event Log contains no log entry when this issue occurs. This issue does not occur if the Intel C-State tech is configured to "disabled" or the C State package limit setting is set to "C1" or "C3". The system is susceptible to this issue in the default Intel C-State tech and C State package limit setting configurations.

Upgrade Requirement:
Recommended - HP recommends users update to this version at their earliest convenience.
Important Notes: NoneFirmware Dependencies: NoneProblems Fixed: For servers using Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, resolve an issue where an uncorrectable memory error may occur. If this error occurs, the system may generate a blue screen if using Microsoft Windows operating systems, generate a panic if using a Linux operating system, or become unresponsive. In addition, the System Health LED may be illuminated amber and the System Event Log may have an event indicating the uncorrectable memory error. 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 processors 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.Updated the Redundant Fan SDR table to prevent possible false sensor warnings as fan speeds are reduced at boot-up time. Known Issues: None
