Enhancements/Fixes:

The release of the Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows 
NT 4.0, Version 2.06 Revision A, primarily supports the new Compaq 
4/8 GB SLR Tape Driver, the new Compaq ProLiant 1600 Models 
6/350-1 and 6/400-1, the new Compaq ProLiant 1600R Model 6/400-1,
and the new Compaq ProLiant 800 Model 6/350-1.

Compaq Array Controller(CPQARRAY.SYS)
	Updated the Compaq Array Controller driver version from 3.21 
	to 3.22. This updated Compaq Array Controller driver will 
	now save the current cache configuration of the redundant 
	pair and set the cache configuration to 100% read when 
	initializing for Compaq Online Storage Controller Recovery 
	Option support. These enhancements to the Compaq Array 
	Controller driver allow a non-degraded condition to be 
	detected via Compaq Insight Manager and a read cache as 
	opposed to running with cache completely disabled during 
	recovery operation.

Compaq 4/8 GB SLR Tape Driver(TANDQIC.SYS)
	Added support for the new Compaq 4/8 GB SLR Tape Driver that 
	supports the Compaq 4/8 GB SLR Tape Drive.  This driver is 
	an OEM driver from Tandberg Data Inc.  For more information on 
	this new driver, refer to the section entitled Compaq 4/8 GB 
	SLR Tape Drive Support.

Compaq Integrated Management Display Utility(CPQLCD.EXE)
	Added the ability to run silently using command-line arguments.  
	The utility processes and writes its output to a log file.  
	This ability is similar to console application behavior 
	except that there is no console output.

Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer(CPQIMLV.EXE)
	Added the ability to run silently using command-line arguments.  
	The utility processes and writes its output to a log file.  
	This ability is similar to console application behavior 
	except that there is no console output.

Compaq Power Down Manager(CPQPSW.EXE)
	Added the ability to run silently using command-line arguments.  
	The utility processes and writes its output to a log file.  
	This ability is similar to console application behavior 
	except that there is no console output.

Compaq Power Supply Viewer(CPQPSP.EXE)
	Added the ability to run silently using command-line arguments.  
	The utility processes and writes its output to a log file.  
	This ability is similar to console application behavior 
	except that there is no console output.

Compaq Remote Insight Board Driver(CPQRIB.SYS)
	Updated the Compaq Remote Insight Board driver from version 
	1.23 to 1.24.  This updated driver eliminates potential problems 
	with the previous version of the driver that was writing past 
	the length of the resource descriptor.

Compaq Remote Insight Board WAN Driver(RIBWAN.SYS)
	Modified the OEMSETUP.INF file to check the wins binding order 
	and to verify that the network and WAN cards are not out of order.  
	If the cards are out of order, a warning message will appear.  

Compaq Support Software Setup for Microsoft Windows NT(SETUP.EXE)
	Corrected a problem with installing remote components using 
	Express Setup.  If the remote machine was at the Ctrl + Alt + Del 
	login screen when an Express Setup was performed, the Compaq 
	System Tools option of the Start menu was not created.

	Corrected a problem with updating the Compaq Fibre Channel Array 
	Controllers SCSI Class driver when installing a new SSD over an 
	existing one by implementing a multiple file check to ensure that 
	the correct drivers are updated.  When an updated Compaq Fibre 
	Channel Array Controllers SCSI Class driver was included and the 
	Compaq Fibre Channel Host Controllers SCSI driver was unchanged 
	in the new SSD, the Compaq Fibre Channel Array Controllers SCSI 
	Class driver would not be updated.  

Compaq System Management Driver(SYSMGMT.SYS)
	Updated the Compaq System Management driver version from 2.58.02 
	to 3.00.01.

	Added support for the Compaq ProLiant 1600 Models 6/350-1 and 
	6/400-1, the Compaq ProLiant 1600R Model 6/400-1, and the Compaq 
	ProLiant 800 Model 6/350-1.

	Modified the behavior of the Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) after 
	the system encounters a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI).  In this 
	case, ASR will reboot the system after one minute.  The ASR 
	timeout value specified through the Compaq System Configuration 
	Utility will not be changed, and ASR behavior is unchanged in 
	all other cases.

	Corrected a problem in which the time of last update timestamp 
	on entries in the Compaq Integrated Management Log was not updated 
	when the entry was updated. This timestamp is visible through 
	the Compaq Integrated Management Display and through the 
	update time field of the Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer.

	Corrected a problem on Compaq Professional Workstations in which 
	the Hours in Service value, which is visible through Compaq Insight 
	Manager, was not initialized properly. 

	Corrected the following intermittent problems with the Compaq Hot 
	Plug Redundant Power Supplies on the Compaq ProLiant 1200, the 
	Compaq ProLiant 1600 Model 6/266-1, and the Compaq ProLiant 1600R 
	Model 6/266-1: power supply failures were improperly reported 
	as removals and power supply insertions were improperly reported 
	as repairs.

For details, refer to NTREADME.HLP in the created support files.

HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change

and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files.
The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed.
You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for 
the files, or default to the download directory.
The following files will be created:
       README.TXT
       NTSSD.EXE

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