IBM eserver xSeries 240 and IBM Netfinity 5600 Flash BIOS Update TPJT 1 58 Version 1.16 -[TPJT58A-1.16]- IBM eserver xSeries 240 and IBM Netfinity 5600-[8664]- Windows NT 4.0 SP6 Windows 2000 TPJT58A IBM eserver xSeries 240 and IBM Netfinity 5600 Flash BIOS Update 1.0 32P0272 32P0272U.EXE . This update is packaged as a self-extracting Package for the web (PFW). To unpack, this update requires that your TEMP environment variable be set to a path with read/write access. You must be logged in as an administrator. All IBM 2 Worldwide 20010629000000.000000-240 V1.16 - Remote POST of Windows 2000 hangs. This has been fixed. - Under some circumstances, German, Italian, and Spanish Setup hangs. This has been fixed. V1.15 - This BIOS update addresses Intel Errata G85 and E76. This Errata effects 933 MHZ / 1GHZ 'B' Stepping Level Pentium III processors, only (i.e. A and C Stepping Levels are okay, as well as B levels at speeds lower than 933MHZ). This BIOS includes a patch from Intel which Intel believes prevents a potential data error problem. Although Intel states that the problem can only occur under certain limited temperature and voltage conditions, IBM strongly recommends updating your BIOS immediately. - Some PCI adapters cause the system to hang intermittently during power-up. This has been corrected. V1.14 - With some RIPL network adapters, if a remote boot failed, the system might hang. This has been corrected. - If the user presses <ALT-F1> to boot the system partition, but the system partition was incorrectly created and is invalid, the system might hang. POST now issues an error message and continues. - Under Novell Netware, using a memory-mapped I/O RAID adapter, when accessing the DOS partition, keyboard activity may cause the system to hang or reboot. This has been corrected. - Excessive memory errors may occur when using a single DIMM, especially when using Hitachi DIMMs. This has been corrected. - The warning "Current memory configuration is not optimized." may be issued for valid memory configurations involving 1GB DIMMS. This has been corrected V1.13 - Update video bios to correct video memory reporting. V1.12 - Correct speed calculation on C0 stepping level processors. - Fix error with BOOTIX adapters and OS/2. - Add Setup option to disable delayed PCI to ISA read cycles (to work around Linux Adaptec driver hang). V1.11 - Support for processor speeds up to 1GHz. - Support for Pentium III C0 stepping level processors. - Fix remote POST interrupt disable error. - Fix System Partition Hang condition. V1.10 - Support for processor speeds up to 933MHz. - Change CMOS save/restore utility from NCU.EXE to CMOSUTIL.EXE - Change flash update utility to prevent accidental flash of other systems. - Fix DMI processor family information. - Fix flash update utility unattended save operation. - Fix serial port operation under Windows 2000 in non-ACPI mode. - Fix hibernation problem under Windows 2000. - Add SMBIOS entry for maximum memory size - Update Video BIOS to fix Windows NT install hang. V1.09 - Support for processor speeds up to 800MHz. - Support for Pentium III B0 stepping level processors. - System performance improved. - Detect non-optimal and invalid memory configurations. - Fix SMBIOS speed and memory size reporting errors. - Fix problem booting SCO 5.05 install CD. - Fix occasional hang while booting due to SMBus collision. - Fix NLS setup corruption. - Report single/multi bit memory errors and identify DIMM to Diags. - Fix system hang when booting without a keyboard. - Light diagnostic panel LEDs when a processor fails. - Fix help message for "Change VPD" in setup. - Correct flash image filename in system VPD. - Fix misc minor ASL problems. V1.08 - Support for Active PCI. - Fix for IDE disk identification - Fix to Type 17 SMBIOS structures - Update to processor microcode files 2 32P0272U.EXE -a -s NOT SUPPORTED NOT SUPPORTED
