TITLE: HP ProLiant Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) Firmware

VERSION: 1.42 Rev. B
DESCRIPTION:
This package installs an updated version of the firmware for the HP ProLiant 
Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO2) Management Processor for the supported 
workstation models and operating systems. 

Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) V1.42 is a standard feature enhancement/bug fix 
release and does not require the purchase of a licensed feature upgrade. The 
current feature set available on the management processor will remain intact 
after installing this firmware.

NOTE: Effective 9 July 2007, iLO Advanced Packs and iLO Select Packs may be 
purchased on an individual basis, or as part of an Insight Control software 
suite. If purchased with an Insight Control Suite or iLO Power Management Pack, 
Technical Support and Software Update Services are provided for all software, 
including iLO Advanced or iLO Select. If purchased on a standalone basis, iLO 
Advanced Packs or the iLO Select Packs enable a one-time key activation of 
licensed features. After the initial activation, feature upgrades will require 
the purchase of upgrade license keys in iLO 2 firmware releases following 
version 1.35.
