SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION: 5.0       

SUPERSEDES: SP17287

DESCRIPTION:
This SoftPaq creates a set of utility files that can be used with a remote 
configuration tool such as Altiris eXpress to update or restore the System ROM 
in the Compaq Deskpro EN, Deskpro EN (SFF), and Deskpro EN (SFF-v) Series with 
a 686P2/686P3 Family ROM.  It also includes the ROM Image.

The standard ROMPaq will not work for updating a PC remotely over a network.

The ROM Family and ROM date can be determined by running the Setup Utility by 
pressing F10 on the target computer during system power on of the computer, and 
viewing File/System Information.  This information can be saved into a text 
file by selecting File/Save to Diskette.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:
 - Adds support for 0.13um PIII 1.13- and 1.2-GHz Processors (microcode patch and 
   thermal support).
 - Adds legacy support for USB mouse.
 - Updates Video Bios (version 2387).
 - Adds code to prevent ROMPAQ from downgrading the ROM below 2.11 on new System 
   boards designed to support the 0.13um PIII processors.
 - Makes cosmetic changes and language translations to F10 Setup.
 - Improves upper memory resource allocation to free up as much memory as possible.
 - Enhances the ACPI subsystem to be more robust.
 - Enables PME on all PME capable NICs at shutdown so that WOL Token Ring NICs can 
   wake the system.
 - Modifies ROM flash algorithm to be more robust.
 - Corrects CAS Latency 2 memory support.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive.  The file downloaded is 
a self-extracting executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2.  Execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.  Entering 
"Y" confirms the unpacking of several files.

3.  After the files have been created, you may delete the self-extracting file 
downloaded in step 1.

4.  Refer to the files README.TXT and REPSET.TXT for further information about the 
utility programs.
