New Features - 


        ProLiant ML570 ROM P20 (06/18/2000)
        ============================================

		Provide user with POST-based Help menu for optimizing
		PCI busses for 66 MHz PCI Cards.

Problems Fixed -




        ProLiant ML570 ROM P20 (06/18/2000)
        ============================================

		Swapped the I/O base address for LPT1 and LPT2 (LPT1 is
		now 0378h and LPT2 is now 03BCh) since the current value
		of 03BCh for LPT1 does not work in EPP mode.

		Under a specific circumstance (all slots on PCI bus
		populated and hot-swapping a card which requests more
		PCI I/O space), there would not be available I/O
		resources for PCI Hot-Swapping.  This has been fixed.

		Properly detect memory failures during POST (if POST
		speedup is disabled) for memory failures above 
		4 Gbytes.

		Fixed labeling of Thermal Censors under Compaq Insight
		Manager.

		Fixed issue with 601 Diskette POST failures whenever 
		a reset occurs during an Integrated Remote Console
		session under Windows 2000.

		Fixed possible issue with default configuration not 
		setting up ROM date in CMOS.

		No longer stop POST if a working power supply is not
		in Bay 1. Only halt POST if there is not a working 
		power supply in Bay 1 and if there is not a working
		Fan 5. Thermals are fine as long as the system has
		a working Fan 5 OR a working Power Supply in Bay 1.
