New Features - ROM P12 - ProLiant 5500 Xeon (06/28/1999) ============================================================= Add support for shrinking option ROMs to allow more cards with option ROMs to be installed, specifically to allow many Adaptec controllers in one box. Support latest Intel processor steppings and speeds. Problems Fixed - ROM P12 - ProLiant 5500 Xeon (06/28/1999) ======================================================= Further enhancements to OS2 support to meet certification requirements. In extremely rare circumstances, a small subset of events logged to the event log on the first POST of the next millenium may have the incorrect date. This only occurs if no external software updates the century byte prior to the first POST. Even if no external software updates the century byte, the first POST of the new millenium will properly update the century byte. The problem only occurs for a small number of possible events (which only occur if there is some issue with the server) during early POST prior to the BIOS updating the century byte. Known Problems - None. HOW TO USE: 1. Obtain a formatted 1.44 MB diskette. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory.
