This release of the Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51, Version 1.27 A, primarily supports the following updated drivers: Compaq System Management Driver, Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver, and Compaq NetFlex-3 Controller. Compaq MP HAL (HALSP.DLL) Fixed a problem with the year 2000 if the OS is running during transition. Compaq NetFlex-3 Controller Updated the Compaq NetFlex-3 driver to disable autonegotiation in the Physical Layer (PHY) when both speed and duplex are set, thus enhancing network connections. Compaq Online Recovery Server (CPQRSYS.EXE) Corrected a problem where the check disk process would hang until a timeout occurred when using PCI controllers and Microsoft Windows NT with Service Pack 3 included. Added an option, allowing modification of the time for a checkdisk timeout to less than the default time of 30 minutes. Added the ability to display the drive letters acquired when you are not using a CPQRSYS.RSO file. Corrected a problem when using the Compaq SMART-2SL Array Controller. An event log message would inform you that a reset command to the array controller failed on a non-existent bus. Added a notification to the Compaq Insight Manager (CIM) when no new physical drives were found after a failover. Corrected a random problem where the event log would fill-up with entries upon launching the Compaq Recovery Server Service. Compaq Standby Recovery Server Modified the Compaq Standby Recovery Server to allow a graceful shutdown when running the Compaq Remote Monitor Service for Compaq PCI Hot Plug support. Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver Added a fix to keep the event logs in sync with the event logs on the machine. Added a fix for a random problem that prevented all of the system events from being copied to the Compaq Remote Insight Board. Compaq Support Software Setup Utility Updated the Setup application to display the new SSD version number. Compaq System Management Driver Updated the System Management driver version number from 2.55.01 to 2.57.01. Improved logging of non-correctable memory events on the Compaq ProLiant 6000, 6500, and 7000. The driver will now report a list of memory module numbers. Corrected a problem with correctable memory error messages in the Windows NT Event Viewer. Corrected a problem with marking entries in the Critical Error Log as "corrected" via Compaq Insight Manager. Corrected a problem with marking 750/500 Watt Hot Plug Redundant Power Supplies as "redundant" and with showing redundant status within the Integrated Management Log and the Windows NT Event Viewer on the Compaq ProLiant 6000, 6500, and 7000. Corrected a problem with reporting the model number of certain revisions of the 750/500 Watt Hot Plug Redundant Power Supply on the Compaq ProLiant 6000, 6500, and 7000. Corrected the following problems with the 400 Watt Hot Plug Redundant Power Supply on the Compaq ProLiant 1200, 1600, and 2500: Failure of a single supply no longer causes an improper system shutdown five to thirty minutes later. Improper marking of the power subsystem as redundant no longer occurs after a supply has been removed. System fan failures are no longer reported as power supply failures (allowing automatic system shutdown due to the fan failure to correctly occur). Corrected a problem on Compaq Professional Workstations configured with the Compaq System Management driver in which applications that cause a floating point exception could cause the Workstation to hang. A ROM upgrade is required to fully correct the problem; upgrade the system ROM to any version dated 12/17/97 or later. HOW TO USE: 1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files. The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed. You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for the files, or default to the download directory. The following files will be created: README.TXT SRVR.EXE 3. After the files have been created, you may delete the self-extracting file downloaded in step 1. 4. From the directory in which the files are created, execute the self-extracting executable: SRVR.EXE [ENTER] 5. Follow the instructions on the screen to extract (unzip) the support software files to a folder on your hard drive and run the program SETUP.EXE to install the software.
