Firmware Dependencies:
None
Problems Fixed:
Resolved a processor issue where an unlikely and complex sequence of conditions operating in 64-bit mode could result in an application-level error, blue screen, kernel panic, or other unpredictable system behavior. This issue affects platforms utilizing Intel Xeon 7200-series, Intel Xeon 7300-series, and Intel Xeon 7400-series processors. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and could impact any system using affected processors. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version of Intel’s microcode for affected processors that addresses this issue. Due to the potential severity of the issue addressed in this revision of the System ROM, this System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix. HP strongly recommends immediate update to firmware revisions with required critical fixes. Note: This processor issue has resulted in the following error being logged to the Integrated Management Log on servers configured with the HP ProLiant Health Management Agents when configured in a Microsoft Virtual Server environment with large numbers of Virtual Machines (VM) simultaneously subjected to a heavy I/O workload (and may occur in other operating system environments): 'An Unrecoverable System Error has occurred (Error code 0x0000002D, 0x00000000)'.
Known Issues:
NoneVersion:2009.07.10(A)(11 Sep 2009) Upgrade Requirement: Resolved an issue where the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) would only allow the user to view 8 boot controllers. This fix will allow the user to properly set the boot controller if more than 8 mass storage devices are present in the system. Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Release 2. Version:2009.05.09 (A)(2 Jun 2009)
Resolved an issue where the user may experience a New Hardware Found Message or a Device Manager Yellow Bang under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems after updating to the February 2009 System ROM. This issue only affected the February 2009 System ROM. Note: The February 2009 System ROM has been removed from the HP Support Site due to this issue. If a system is currently using the February 2009 System ROM and upgrades to this revision of the System ROM, a New Hardware Found Message or a Device Manager Yellow Bang may be seen under Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. However, this should only be seen once until the OS has identified the 'new' hardware. If the February 2009 System ROM has never been used in the system, no issues should be seen.
Resolved an issue where the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) would not properly disable cores for the Dual-Core Intel Xeon E7200 Series Processors and the Quad-Core Intel Xeon E7300 Series Processors.
Resolved an issue where the system would fail to wake up from a Wake On LAN request when the system was previously shutdown using hibernate from Microsoft Windows Server 2008. As part of this change, the user must enable Wake On LAN support under Device Manager for each NIC port using the Power Management tab.
Resolved an issue where the server would not boot to CD/DVD media that was formatted with HDD Emulation. This issue was seen with certain versions of Symantec Ghost.
Version:2008.09.23 (A)(29 Sep 2008)
Resolved an issue where the system may experience an error that will result in either a Machine Check Event or a Fatal Memory Error logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). This issue is only seen with certain DIMMs and is extremely rare. This issue does not indicate an actual memory DIMM problem and is fully addressed by this new release of the System ROM.
Resolved an issue where the system will hang during boot when using the 09/01/2008 ROM with the Dual-Core Intel Xeon E7220 Processor or Dual-Core Intel Xeon E7210 Processor. The 09/01/2008 ROM could not be used with these processors.
Resolved an issue in which the Intel Core Multi-Processing(CMP) feature would not properly disable processor cores. This feature was introduced in the 09/01/2008 ROM. In addition, the naming of this option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) has been changed from Intel Core Multi-Processing(CMP) to Processor Core Disable. If this option was enabled when using the 09/01/2008 ROM, cores will properly be disabled when upgrading to this System ROM revision.
Resolved an issue that may under rare circumstances, on a system in which the Advanced Memory Protection Mode is configured for Mirrored Memory, result in a Blue Screen when running Microsoft Windows Server, a Kernel Panic when running Linux, or other system hang when running another operating system. If running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows Server 2008, a Blue Screen Stop Code of 0x00000080 may be displayed. If the HP iLO 2 System Management Controller Driver is loaded, the following message may be logged to the HP Integrated Management Log: 'An Unrecoverable System error has occurred (Error code 0x00080000, 0x00000000) or (Error code 0x20080000, 0x00000000)'.
Version:2008.09.01(A)(2 Sep 2008) Upgrade Requirement: Resolved an intermittent issue that can result in a Microsoft Windows Blue Screen, Linux kernel panic, or other error with other operating systems. This issue is typically logged to the HP Integrated Management Log (IML) as 'An Unrecoverable System error has occurred (Error code 0x0000002E, 0x00000000).' Added support for Intel's latest 7400 series Xeon processors.
Added support for Intel's Core Multi-Processing (CMP) Technology, that allows disabling of processor cores. This new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option allows for disabling one-half the cores on each physical processor such that a dual-core processor will have one core enabled and a quad-core processor will have two cores enabled. This feature is not supported by all models of the Intel Xeon processor. Consult Intel documentation for further information.
Version:2008.07.20 (A)(29 Aug 2008)
Resolved an issue where the system could experience a hang when entering the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) with the server being configured for PXE boot.
Resolved an issue where the system would hang or panic while booting a USB Drive Key. This issue was exhibited when booting from the HP Integrated VMWare ESX 3i USB solution or the HP Integrated Citrix Xenserver USB solution.
Resolved an issue where BIOS Serial Console did not work during POST when the attached serial cable or console device did not support handshaking. Previously, if the proper handshaking was not detected, BIOS serial console would be disabled.
Added a Power Supply Requirements Override menu selection in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow the server to operate with one power supply or be redundant with two power supplies. A customer should use the HP Power Calculator to ensure that their system's power requirements allow running in this configuration before enabling this feature.
Added an option for disabling expansion cards in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
Version:2008.01.30 (A)(20 Feb 2008)
Added a new Advanced ROM Based Setup Feature that allows the user to change the priority in which Option ROMs are loaded during POST for all PCI/PCI-e devices present in the system. Specifically, the 'Load Embedded Devices First' option allows the embedded NICs to have their PXE option ROM executed first prior to any plug-in cards. Since there is a limited number of Option ROMs that can be loaded, this option might be beneficial for those customers that need to guarantee that the embedded PXE option ROM is loaded. The 'Load Option Card Devices First' option is the default and forces the embedded NIC's PXE Option ROM to execute last. In certain PCI/PCI-e configurations, the PXE option ROM for embedded NICs will not be executed if loaded last due to a lack of available option ROM space.
Added support for booting USB DriveKeys that are formatted using file systems other than those typically used in Microsoft Operating Systems. USB DriveKeys formatted using Linux based filesystems may now be bootable with the addition of this support.
Version:2007.12.07 (A)(14 Dec 2007)
Added support to allow the user to enter the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) if an insufficient power configuration is detected during POST. This will allow the user to modify the Power Supply Requirements Override feature. This RBSU option can be used to allow the system to boot in the current power supply configuration. A customer should only enable the Power Supply Requirements Override if the HP Power Calculator Utility had been used to verify the system can operate safely with the installed power supply configuration.
Added support to allow the user to enter the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) or to boot an IDE CD-ROM when an unsupported processor is detected. Previously, the System ROM would only allow the user to boot a ROMPaq floppy or ROMPaq USB DriveKey in order to update the System ROM. The user can now update their System ROM version via CD-ROM in an unsupported processor configuration.
Version:2007.10.18 (A)(30 Oct 2007)
Increased USB storage timeouts to address an issue with iLO Virtual Media disconnecting due to heavy network traffic. This change would effect legacy USB emulation of iLO virtual USB devices, prior to OS drivers loading.
Resolved an issue where the ROM would display the incorrect memory amount during boot when the system is configured with 128GB or more of memory and the Advanced Memory Protection (AMP) mode is configured to Online Spare Mode or Mirroring Mode.
Resolved an issue with plug-in video cards when the card has more than one video controller, such as the NVIDIA QuadroPlex video adapter. With these types of video devices, the System ROM was not allocating PCI resources properly, resulting in device drivers not installing properly.
Resolved an issue where L2 cache size is displayed incorrectly during POST and when viewing system information with some utilities.
Modified System ROM to properly show chassis type as rack mounted server for software querying chassis type from the SMBIOS table.
Added preliminary support for Microsoft Windows 2008 (previously code-named Longhorn). While this support has been validated with beta versions of Microsoft Windows 2008, there are no known issues as of the time of this System ROM release. This support should be considered preliminary as the final versions of Microsoft Windows 2008 and its certification tests are not yet available.
Added a new RBSU option, Defer All Transactions Mode. When this option is enabled, front-side bus bandwidth may be increased on systems with heavy I/O workload because CPU initiated I/O transactions can be deferred enabling other transactions to make progress while data is retrieved. However, latency for completing transactions may also increase. The system's workload will determine which setting will provide highest performance.
Version:2007.08.08(A)(3 Oct 2007)
Initial release.
I just put a Samsung evo 250gig in mine. (I removed a seagate 250HDD)The cloning was SUPER easy, I went to frys, asked the computer guys and they gave me this:Take the old hard drive out, plug it into the sata source1, take new ssd out of the box and plug it into sata2 target.plug the unit it and flip the switch to on, once both red LED's turn solid, press and hold the blue clone button for three seconds and it will start the clone process. Took about 45-60min to get all done. When all the blue LED's are solid, turn the unit off and its done.I plugged the SSD into the verus, fired right up, no issues at all. Boot time went from 2:47secs to less than 60secs. (from being off, to the diag suite being fully loaded and functional)Very easy to swap the hard drives, and even easier to clone.
For the 150 bucks I spent on this, worth every penny!! In the long run putting an SSD in something running older system like Windows XP that does not natively support something called TRIM I believe the SSD is just going to become quickly cluttered up with what would otherwise just be temporary internet files that normally get erased on a mechanical drive but build up and eventually Constipate SSDs where you likely may need to remove Format and reinstall the image every 6months or so, and I don't think those fragile ribbons connectors inside can handle too many removals of the drives either. Make sure the fan works and processor are clean of lint.
Maybe max out the ram and call it a day.

I know people who have used an SSD in their device, but dont know the long term about them.Heres to hoping I dont run into any issues! But if I do, I have my factory hard drive still.
