Important Note:
      
       IMPORTANT: After upgrading to the ProLiant DL140 G2 BMC Firmware v1.22 the BMC 
            may not be recognized during POST when connecting the server to 
            AC power and immediately powering on.  Upgrading the DL140 G2 
            system ROM to version 1.14 or later will prevent this issue.

      NOTE: Secure Socket Layer, Secure Shell and virtual floppy enhancements 
            are available as LO100i technology previews with this firmware release. 
            This allows customers to evaluate and use these features at

        ===========================================

           
 	1. Resolved an issue where the serial com port would hang after 
 	   powering down the server and then exiting the BMC session.
 	              
 	2. Resolved an issue where the BMC would become unresponsive 
 	   when using the SMASH CLP load command to flash new firmware 
 	   and the TFTP server returned an error of "file not found".

   	3. Resolved an issue where the DHCP status shown by the CLP 
   	   was sometimes incorrect.

	4. Removed the reset verb from the BMC CLP target directories.
	            
	5. Changed the BMC CLP command prompt to /./->
	              
	6. Updated the BMC firmware for the latest SMSC chip revision.
	 
	7. Resolved an issue where system would not correctly PXE boot 
	   when the BMC interface was set to Shared.



Known Problems -
 
	1. If the user tries to remotely establish a remote console EMS 
	   connection with a server running Windows 2003 SP1, the session will 
	   disconnect the first time this is attempted.   Subsequent attempts 
	   to establish and log in to EMS will work.  Will be fixed in 
	   an upcoming maintenance release.
