DESCRIPTION: Creates a bootable diskette that will upgrade the firmware in the 
Remote Insight Board/PCI to version 1.11.

Enhancements/Fixes:
1. When the F8 setup runs, any pending interrupts to the server are now 
cleared. This fixes an issue where an IRQ generated while the OS is running 
may still be asserted after the server reboots. The server can then lock up if
RIB is using an IRQ that typically isn't masked by BIOS (e.g., IRQ9).
2. Corrects a problem where the battery would be erroneously tagged as failed
in some servers where the inside-chassis temperature increases at a high rate. 
3. Corrects a condition where the RIB/PCI might not be detected by BIOS or the 
operating system after a server reboot.
4. Contains an improved NIC driver for the version of RIB/PCI that has the
Intel 82559 NIC. Included in this driver is better resistance to Ethernet
broadcast storms.
5. Fixes an issue where the board would continously reboot itself in the event 
of some types of hardware failures.
6. Fixes an issue where the card and the server potentially could lock up when
switching between text and graphics modes while in remote console. 
   
HOW TO USE:
1.  Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is an executable with 
a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions.  You will be prompted to 
insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette.

4.  After the diskette has been created, you may delete the  
SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2.

5.  Insert and reboot the server with the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition
from the diskette. Follow the directions in Rompaq when it starts.
