New Features -


        ProLiant DL580 G2 ROM P27 (06/19/2003)
        ============================================
	    Added support for the latest Intel Pentium 4 Xeon processors.  
		
            Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Option to modify
            processor performance settings.  HP has determined that some 
            applications may benefit by modifying the "CPU Performance Settings."  
            Based on the type of application run on the server, this setting may 
            impact system performance.  The system is optimized for memory 
            by default.

            Added message during POST when a system battery failure is detected.  
            Previously, the system would simply go back to default settings
            in this condition. This should help customers and service more 
            easily troubleshoot issues with systems losing their configuration 
            settings due to failed system batteries.
