DESCRIPTION:   This release provides updated firmware for the latest
               maintenance releases of the Hewlett-Packard Integrated
               Lights-Out Management Controller.

New features -

1.  Support added for ProLiant BL30p server.

2.  Added "Static IP Bay Configuration" feature to ease the initial deployment 
    of an entire enclosure, or the subsequent deployment of blades within an existing 
    enclosure. This feature permits the iLO management processor in each blade slot 
    to obtain a predefined IP address without relying on DHCP. iLO is immediately 
    accessible for server deployment using Virtual Media and other remote 
    administration functions.

3.  Enhanced the Virtual Serial Port to operate on Linux operating systems without 
    having to use the Linux 'setserial' command to configure the non-standard IO 
    address of 0x0408 for the serial port. Legacy IO addresses used in Linux by 
    default now function.

4.  Added a simple command set that can be used during telnet Remote Console sessions
    or Virtual Serial Port sessions. Using various key sequences, the server can be
    powered on/off/reset, or the UID light can be turned on/off from the telnet session.


Problems fixed from last release -

1.


Documentation -

1.  The updated iLO User Guide and the Updated Information Booklet can be found by
    following the links at:  

	http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/ilo/documentation.html

    This release is covered by the documentation for the iLO 1.50 release.

2.  Check the online help files for additional information about how to use features.
    Online help files can be accessed from within the browser web pages by clicking
    on the question mark in the upper right-hand corner of each page.

3.  Instructions for using the "Static IP Bay Configuration" can be found
    in the documentation for the ProLiant BL30p server.

4.  Key sequences for simple command set available for use during telnet sessions:

    <CTRL-P 0>	Turn power off (simple press of button)
    <CTRL-P 1>	Turn power on
    <CTRL-P 6>	Perform ACPI shutdown (hold power button for 6 seconds)
    <CTRL-P !>	Perform reboot (immediate power shutdown, followed by power on)
    <CTRL-U 0>	Turn UID light off
    <CTRL-U 1>	Turn UID light on

    Key sequences operate during a telnet remote console session or virtual serial
    port session. The keys will not work before authentication or before the user
    selection of 'r' (remote console) or 's' (virtual serial port). The power
    control requests are correctly ignored when the user does not have the proper
    privilege for power control.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Obtain two formatted 1.44 MB diskettes.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to
    that directory.  The file that is downloaded is SP25041.EXE.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:

SP25041 [ENTER]

You will be prompted to place each formatted 1.44 MB diskette into a diskette
drive to create the diskettes.  Be sure and note the first and second diskettes.

4.  After the diskettes are created, you may delete the downloaded file
    SP25041.EXE if you wish.

5.  Insert the first diskette in drive A: and cold boot the system.  The system will prompt
    you when the second diskette should be inserted.
