      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may experience Machine Check Exceptions or
      unexpected reboots under heavy load and high temperature. This issue is NOT
      unique to HP servers. HP recommends that users experiencing these issues
      update to this revision of the System ROM before replacing any hardware
      components.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (RBSU) Dynamic Power Savings Mode Response Option when configured for Slow
      Mode may not efficiently switch processor performance modes resulting in lower
      than expected performance.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may not properly respond to error events
      from devices attached to certain PCI Express root ports.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Channel Interleaving option in the ROM Based
      Setup Utility (RBSU) did not function when configured for Disabled. Even when
      this option was configured to Disabled, Channel Interleaving would be enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where a server configured for UEFI boot mode may become
      unresponsive during boot when configured with an optional graphics controller
      that does not support UEFI boot mode. This issue does not affect systems
      configured in Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue in the HP RESTful API data model with the reporting of
      "EmbSasXBoot" and "SlotXStorageBoot" properties in the HpBiosMappings
      resource. The properties were not associated with the correct PCI devices for
      the embedded and optional storage controllers.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may become unresponsive during boot when
      configured with a very large number of disks such as fibre adapters.
      
      Addressed an issue in the HP RESTful API BIOS support that resulted in
      internal HTTP sessions between BIOS and iLO left open during boot. This can
      result in the iLO Event Log indicating multiple events for HTTP session
      logins.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system would become unresponsive during boot and
      display a NMI error when configured with an optional PCI Express device
      supporting older versions of the PCI Express specification.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system would not reset configuration settings to
      defaults when using the Embedded UEFI Shell Sysconfig -d command.
      
      Addressed an issue where the HP RESTful API and Embedded UEFI Shell
      description of the storage controller may begin with an instance of 2 instead
      of 1 when only one storage controller was installed in the server.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may fail to boot a Linux Operating System
      when using serial console redirection when the physical Serial Port is
      disabled and the iLO Virtual Serial Port is enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where a system configured for Legacy Boot Mode may become
      unresponsive during boot and display a NMI error when the Virtual Install Disk
      is enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where a system configured for UEFI Boot Mode with an
      optional PCI Express based USB 3.0 controller installed may not be able to
      properly load the USB driver under the operating system. This issue does not
      affect systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where thermal and inventory data may not be available for
      all DIMMs in the system when certain processors, such as the Xeon E5-2667 v3,
      are installed in the server.

changelog:
  -     Enhanced PCIe resource allocation so that systems configured with multiple
      PCIe expansion devices may in some cases no longer report a "276 Option Card
      Configuration Error" during system boot due to not having enough I/O resources
      to support what is requested by the installed devices. This BIOS revision
      allows a wider range of PCIe configurations that request large amounts of I/O
      to be configured properly.
      
      Updated the UEFI Secure Boot revocations list (DBX) with the latest copy from
      Microsoft.
      
      Updated the HP RESTful API HPE BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the
      latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options.
      
      Updated the UEFI Secure Boot Key Database revocations list (DBX) with the
      latest version from Microsoft. This includes the latest list of revoked
      certificates.
      
      Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities.
      
      Increased the default timeout value of the iSCSI UEFI Software Initiator boot
      to 20 seconds. This may help resolve issues of intermittent connection drop
      during an iSCSI boot.

      (RBSU) USB Boot Options setting may not properly allow the server to boot from
      the internal SD card before a USB key when SD is higher in the priority list.
      This issue only affects servers configured in Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the ambient temperature reported by the system during
      server boot may report incorrectly. This issue also requires an iLO firmware

      result in non-optimal performance. Please consult the Memory Population
      Guidelines for more information on memory population rules and
      recommendations.
      
      Added a new Auto option for the XPT Prefetcher in the BIOS/Platform
      Configuration (RBSU) menu that will default the XPT prefetcher to disabled
      based on a current Intel sighting processor issue.  Enabling this option (via
      setting this option for Force Enable) may improve latency performance, but
      Intel has indicated rare stability issues may occur if XPT Prefetcher is
      enabled.
      
      Added support for HPE 128GB SmartMemory Load Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs).
      
      Updated the system thermal logic to support the latest GPU adapters.

      Addressed an issue where the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Energy
      Efficient Turbo setting was "backwards".  When the configuration setting was
      set to enabled, the feature would actually be Disabled.  When configured to
      Disabled, the feature would actually be enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server might lockup and display a red screen when
      trying to repair a failed RAID volume off of an S100i SW RAID controller.
      
      Addressed an issue where the RESTful API may report that BIOS settings were
      not applied properly even when they are properly configured.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during boot after
      a warm reset, typically seen with a blank screen, when a Trusted Platform
      Module (TPM) is installed.  If reboot issues are seen with systems containing
      an optional TPM, it is highly recommended the System ROM be enabled to this
      revision or later.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where the system may incorrectly report a
      413 Innovation Engine Authentication Error on a server reboot.
      
      Removed support for the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Power On Logo
      disable functionality.
      
      Removed support for the chipset firmware based Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
      known as Intel Platform Trust Technology (Intel PTT). This feature is no
      longer supported due to stability issues and Intel recommends not supporting
      this feature. Users should instead install a discrete HPE TPM option for this
      support.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.10_05-21-2019
changelog:
  -     Added support for HPE Persistent Memory featuring Intel Optane DC Persistent
      Memory.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority
      Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency
      support on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are
      optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is
      located in the Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs
      are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating
      Systems, Intel Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high
      priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base
      frequency while lower priority cores will run at a slower frequency.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to
      the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy for
      which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy
      may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
      would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are
      extremely rare.
      
      Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a
      single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
      versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available
      on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
      server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant
      Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.
      
      Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security
      vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

      Boot Mode. This issue did not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode or
      when booting from other types of media.
      
      Addressed an issue where a dual port networking device may show up in the
      System Configuration Utilities with two Port 1 names instead of properly being
      represented as Port 1 and Port 2. This did not impact any functionality to the

      This system ROM contains the latest Intel microcode that addresses an issue
      where the system may experience an Uncorrected Machine Check Exception in Bank
      0 with Status containing 000F0150. This update may not address all Bank 0
      machine check events with a Status containing 000F0150 but should be used
      before any other further service actions for issues resulting in this
      Integrated Management Log (IML) entry. This issue is not unique to HPE
      servers. This issue was incorrectly documented as being addressed in the v2.00
      System ROMs.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where systems configured with the v2.00
      System ROM may experience a 389-Unexpected Shutdown error in the Integrated
      Management Log (IML) when running a memory intensive workload. This issue did
      not exist in the v1.50 versions of the System ROMs or earlier.

changelog:
  -     Added support for HPE One button secure erase. This option can be launched
      from the HPE Intelligent Provisioning application or through the HPE RESTful
      API to securely restore the system back to a default configuration. This
      option also requires iLO firmware 1.40 or later, and Intelligent Provisioning
      3.30 or later.
      
      Added Secure Configuration Lock feature. This feature can be enabled to detect
      system hardware, security configuration, or firmware revision changes to
      protect against malicious or unintended modifications to the server. This
      protection can be enabled for systems in transit from the factory to the
      customer site, in transit from one customer site to another, or can be left
      enabled on a deployed server. A new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Server
      Configuration Lock menu in the Server Security Options is available to enable
      and configure this functionality.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Backup and Restore Settings
      menu to System Default Options. This option can be used to backup (save off)

      not unique to HPE servers.
      
      Addressed an issue where the serial port would not function properly when the
      iLO CLI serial interface was also enabled on the platform. This could lead to
      the serial BAUD rate not being configured properly and the serial output from
      the host would be corrupted or no output would be seen.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where the system could become unresponsive
      in POST when configured in Legacy Boot Mode when a USB Mouse is attached. This
      issue does not impact systems configured in UEFI Boot Mode.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Memory Options called
      Refresh Watermarks. When selecting the Low Watermark setting, the memory
      controller will help reduce susceptibility to a DDR4 RowHammer attack. It is
      expected that a memory performance impact will be seen when enabling the Low
      Watermark setting. The default operation of the system has not changed and
      customers wanting to provide additional RowHammer protection should enable
      this setting.
      
      Added support to BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) to allow importing and
      exporting Secure Boot signature lists as a signed binary file. This is useful
      to import the Microsoft revocation list binary file into the Secure Boot DBX
      as found on the UEFI forum at https://uefi.org/revocationlistfile.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Advanced PCIe Device

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware corrects the possibility of the drive becoming unresponsive and requiring a power cycle following a soft system reboot. This behavior appears as if the drive is no longer attached to the system following the system soft reboot. It is most often observed during Operating System Installation but can occur following any system soft reboot.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware improves background scans for media robustness, and also corrects a laboratory induced rare condition that could result in the disk not being updated with the latest cache data.
      
      **Problems Fixed for HPDA (C):**
      
        * Component would fail to install drive firmware for drives present in a system configured with two or more external drive enclosures attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x. The following message would be reported in the component log file - "Device appears more than once in tree". The drive firmware installation failure was not observed in configurations having only one external drive enclosure attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x.
        * Component fails to update the firmware for drives connected behind an HP Smart Array P431 controller. Component reports the firmware update was successful. However, after a power cycle, the firmware version remains unchanged.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware resolved a potential multiport system failover condition where the drive might not be recognized, due to the drive responding too slowly to a link reset on port A if port B was unavailable.  This firmware also fixed possible aborted command errors due to incorrect overlapped command tag checking being performed.
