      Addressed an issue where certain processors (i3, Pentium, or Celeron) were
      incorrectly showing support for SGX in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) when
      they should not. Customers using an i3, Pentium, or Celeron processor with SGX
      enabled need to back up any SGX protected data before updating to the DL20
      Gen10 1.20_01_28_2019 or later BIOS versions. Failure to do so will result in
      any SGX protected data becoming inaccessible. This issue is not unique to HPE
      servers.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain PCIe option cards may not train properly and
      cause the system to hang during POST. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.
