The release of the Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Version 2.05 Revision A, primarily supports the Compaq Fibre Channel Storage System Drivers. Compaq Fibre Channel Storage System - Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI Driver (CPQFCALM.SYS) Added support for the new Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers. - Compaq Fibre Channel Array Controllers SCSI Class Driver (CPQFCAC.SYS) Added support for the new Compaq Fibre Channel Array Controllers. Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer (CPQIMLV.EXE) - Added machine name/filename to the printed output. - Changed the initial sort order. In SSD 2.04A, the events were sorted by Initial Time, most recent entries first. Beginning with SSD 2.05A, the events are sorted by Update Time, most recent entries first. - Added ALT key support for Machine (ALT-M), Browse (ALT-B), and Refresh (ALT-R) on the remote dialog bar. Compaq NetFlex-3 Controller (NETFLX3.SYS) - 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 Remote Insight Board Driver (CPQRIB.SYS) - Updated the Compaq Remote Insight Board driver version number from 1.22 to 1.23. This updated driver includes a fix for a random problem that prevented all of the system events from being copied to the Compaq Remote Insight Board. Compaq Remote Insight Board WAN Driver (RIBWAN.SYS) - Modified the OEMSETUP.INF file to perform a check to determine if a Service Pack needs to be reapplied to the system after RAS is installed. This check is performed because the files taken from the original Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 media during RAS install may not be the same as the files previously applied on the system from the Service Pack media. Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows NT Setup (SETUP.EXE) - Modified the SETUP.EXE file to perform a check to determine if a Service Pack needs to be reapplied to the system after RAS is installed. This check is performed because the files taken from the original Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 media during RAS install may not be the same as the files previously applied on the system from the Service Pack media. Compaq System Management Driver (SYSMGMT.SYS) - Updated the Compaq System Management driver version from 2.57.01 to 2.58.01. - Added a Compaq System Management driver fix. To ensure continued proper operation of the Compaq System Management driver on Compaq Pentium-based systems, such as the Compaq ProLiant 1500, 2000, 4000, and 4500 and the Compaq ProSignia 200, 300, and 500, configured with Microsoft Service Packs, version 2.58.01 or later of the Compaq System Management driver is required. - Added a Compaq System Management fix that prevents a fatal system crash from occurring when a shutdown/reboot is performed after using SSD Setup on a Compaq ProLiant 2500 system with an Intel Network Interface Controller installed. After the SSD installation completed and Setup exited, a fatal system crash occurred (blue screen) during an attempted shutdown/reboot. When the system was subsequently manually rebooted, the system restarted without any problems. Compaq Shutdown Script for Windows NT (CPQSHUT.CMD) - Added support for a script to be executed at system shutdown, so that user applications like database management systems can be terminated gracefully. For more information on this additional feature, refer to the section entitled Compaq Power Down Manager. HOW TO USE: 1.
