New Features -

	   ROM P11 - ProLiant 6500 Xeon/6400R (06/29/1999)
       =======================================================

       Add support for shrinking option ROMs to allow more cards with 
       option ROMs to be installed, specifically to allow many Adaptec 
       controllers in one box.

       Support latest Intel processor steppings and speeds.




Problems Fixed -


	   ROM P11 - ProLiant 6500 Xeon/6400R (06/29/1999)
       =======================================================

       Change for OS2 certification.

       In extremely rare circumstances, a small subset of events
       logged to the event log on the first POST of the next
       millenium may have the incorrect date. This only occurs if
       no external software updates the century byte prior to the
       first POST. Even if no external software updates the century
       byte, the first POST of the new millenium will properly
       update the century byte. The problem only occurs for a 
       small number of possible events (which only occur if there is
       some issue with the server) during early POST prior to the
       BIOS updating the century byte.

       Fixed rare occurrence of temperature failures caused by bug in 
       health driver.

       Change temperature sensor default configuration to support
       different chassis configurations.





Known Problems - 

	None.
