SOFTPAQ NUMBER: SP9506 PART NUMBER: N/A FILE NAME: N/A TITLE: Compaq Server Support for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Remote Insight Board Drivers) VERSION: 2.12 Rev A LANGUAGE: Japanese CATEGORY: Drivers DIVISIONS: Systems PRODUCTS AFFECTED: All Compaq Servers OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Japanese) SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: N/A PREREQUISITES: N/A EFFECTIVE DATE: January 21, 1999 ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED: Yes SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: 2.x SUPERSEDES: SP8474 DESCRIPTION: This SoftPaq is for Japanese products, and cannot be run in United States mode. This SoftPaq creates two files -- a description file and a self-extracting executable file. The self-extracting executable file contains Compaq Server Support for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 that supports the following subsystems and features of Compaq Servers: Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver Compaq Remote Insight Board WAN Driver Compaq Server Support Installation Utility Enhancements/Fixes: The release of the Compaq Server Support for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Version 2.12 Revision A, primarily supports the following new products: - Compaq Prosignia 720 6/350 - Compaq Prosignia 720 6/400 - Compaq ProLiant 400 6/350 Model 1 - Compaq ProLiant 400 6/350 Model 4300 - Compaq ProLiant 400 6/400 Model 1 - Compaq ProLiant 400 6/400 Model 4300 - Compaq ProLiant 400 6/450 Model 1 - Compaq ProLiant 5500 6/450-1 - Compaq ProLiant 5500R 6/450-1 - Compaq ProLiant 5500 6/450-2 - Compaq ProLiant 5500R 6/450-2 - Compaq Smart Array 221 Controller Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver(CPQRIB.SYS) Updated the Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver version from 1.50 to 1.51. Version 1.51 corrects an issue where the previous version of the Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver would not start on a multiprocessor Compaq ProLiant 3000 or 5500 configured as follows: Compaq Remote Insight Board/EISA and system ROM dated later than 3/98. Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver(RIBWAN.SYS) - Updated the RIBWAN.INF file to re-enable the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI Driver, along with the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver, after it is installed and removed using Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT then reinstalled through the Windows NT Control Panel using the RIBWAN.INF file. - Fixed a Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN routing issue. In the Compaq Remote Insight Board User Guide, you are asked to perform the "route add A B" command, where A and B are IP addresses. In previous Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 versions, the packets destined for target A are not routed through the device properly if B is an IP address on one of the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN endpoints. Beginning in Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 Version 2.12A, the packets destined for IP address A are properly routed through IP address B, which is the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN device. Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0(SETUP.EXE) - Added support to upgrade/downgrade your HAL if Microsoft Service Pack 4 is installed on your system. - Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to disallow installation of the Compaq SCSI Controller Driver, the Compaq SMART/SMART-2 Array Controller Driver, or the Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI Miniport Driver if it detects that you have removed the driver through the Windows NT Control Panel. Once the driver has been uninstalled from the Windows NT Control Panel, you must reboot the system or reinstall the driver through the Windows NT Control Panel. - Added a new popup, indicating the supported version of the Compaq Array Configuration Utility that is supported in this Compaq SSD for Windows NT 4.0 release, which will appear after the option to install the utility has been selected. - Added an enhancement to indicate when you should update the Compaq Array Configuration Utility on your system. - Removed the capability for Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Version 2.12A (or later) to operate on Compaq Professional Workstation products. - Added support for the Compaq NC3161 Fast Ethernet NIC. - Modified Compaq Server Support Setup for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to prompt you to update the Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver after installing RAS to ensure that a registry setting created by the RAS install has the correct value for this driver. If this driver is not updated after a RAS install is performed, the registry value will be incorrect, disabling the "route add A B" command functionality that was fixed in this release (see the "Compaq Remote Insight Board/PCI WAN Driver(RIBWAN.SYS)" entry in this section). For details, refer to NTREADME.HLP in the created support files. HOW TO USE: 1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory.
