DESCRIPTION:
Creates the Support Software for Novell Products (NSSD).

NSSD contains NetWare and intraNetWare drivers, NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs)
and support information to optimize the performance of NetWare and intraNetWare
on Compaq servers. This software enhances the performance of Compaq options
such as Compaq Drive Array controllers, Compaq 32-Bit SCSI-2 controllers, and
Compaq CD-ROM drives.

Enhancements/Fixes in Version 6.40 Rev A:

This release of the Support Software for Novell Products (NSSD) primarily
supports the following new products:

  - ML330 G2, ATA RAID
  - ML350 G2

The following Compaq drivers were updated:

CPQHLTH.NLM Version 4.36 - NSSD 6.40
- Added support for ML330 and ML350.
- Added changes to fix a fan oscillation problem on the ML350.
- Added changes to fix the LED colors for the ML370 and the DL380.  If the
  temperature crosses Temp Caution and falls back to normal within the
  next 60 seconds, the Health Driver should leave the OverTemp LED amber
  and the Internal Health LED red.  


CPQPOWER.NLM Version 1.08 - NSSD 6.40
- Fixed a screen refresh issue for when the NLM would unload occasionally
  when the F3 button is pressed.
- Fixed the server abend when the utility is unloaded with an 'unload
  cpqpower' command on servers without redundant power supply support.

HOW TO USE:

 1. Download the SoftPaq into a directory and change to that
    directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with
    the filename SP16415.EXE.

 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file
    and follow the on-screen instructions. A new directory will be
    created named "NSSD_A.640", and the NSSD files will be expanded
    into a that directory and subdirectories will be created.

 4. After the NSSD has been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file
    downloaded in step 1.

 5. For installation instructions, refer to INSTALL.RDM (ASCII Text File)
    or NSSD.HLP (Windows Help File) in the directory that was created
    by the SoftPaq.
