        ProLiant DL380 G4 ROM P51 (10/10/2005)
        ============================================


             1) Resolved an issue that may result in a server hang during POST
	        when certain storage controllers are installed and more than 7
	        logical drive volumes are configured.  This issue may occur on
	        certain controllers, whether embedded or expansion card based,
	        if 8 or more blank drives are attached to the controller.  This
	        issue will occur with, but is not limited to, the HP 8 Port
	        SAS/SATA controller, HP Single-Channel U320 SCSI HBA G2 Controller,
	        and HP 64-Bit/133 MHz PCI-X Dual-Channel U320 Controller.

	     2) Resolved an issue where uncorrectable memory errors may be reported 
	        on the incorrect DIMMs when using Microsoft Windows 2003 x64 Edition.
