NOTES:

  1. This version of the software cannot view AND/OR test certain options
     that are supported by the DL590/64.

     A. Network Adapters
        Testing of network controllers requires EFI network drivers, these
        drivers were unavailable at the time of the diagnostics release.
        This should not effect network support in higher level OSes
        (i.e. RedHat Linux 64 and Windows XP 64 Limited Edition)

     B. SCSI Controllers are not identified or tested.
        Compaq 64-Bit/66MHz Single Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter and 
        Compaq 64-Bit/66MHz Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter

     C. Tape Drives are not tested.

     D. Fibre Channel devices are not tested.
    

  2. Diagnostics does not identify add on modules for the Compaq SMART Array
     5300.  
  
     Diagnostics names all 5300 series controllers "Compaq SMART Array 5300."  
     Diagnostics can correctly test the "basic" functionality of the 5300
     controller card.  The advanced features provided by the add-on cards are
     not tested.  
  
     This applies to the following options:

       Smart Array 5302/32 Controller
       Smart Array 5302/64 Controller
       Smart Array 5304/128 Controller
       128MB Cache Module for Smart Array 5302 Controller
       Advanced Data Guarding Module for Smart Array 5302 Controller
