New Features -

        ProLiant ML570/ DL580 Server system ROM (06/18/2000)
        ====================================================

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




 Problems Fixed -

        ProLiant ML570/ DL580 Server system ROM (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.

                Fix labeling of Thermal Censors under Compaq Insight
                Manager.

                Fix 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.
