      None
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **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 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 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 a system configured with an option Trusted Platform
      module 1.2 and configured for legacy boot mode may not be able to properly
      support Microsoft Windows Bitlocker. This issue does not affect systems
      configured in UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where User Defined Default settings may fail to be properly
      applied to the system after Restoring System Defaults from the System
      Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU).
      
      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 become unresponsive during boot when
      configured with one processor. This issue was introduced with the v1.20
      05/06/2015 version of the system ROM and did not affect earlier versions of
      the system ROM. This issue does not impact systems configured with more than
      one processor.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may not report processor temperatures
      correctly when the server is configured with three processors. This issue does
      not affect systems with other processor configurations.
      
      **Known Issues:**
      
      None


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.40_10-27-2015
changelog:
  -     Added support for an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0.
      
      Added support to detect and log when memory performance may be degraded due to
      a high rate of correctable memory errors. When this condition is detected, a
      new Integrated Management Log (IML) message will be logged indicating a "High
      rate of corrected memory errors, performance may be degraded".
      
      Added support to the Embedded UEFI Shell to allow the user to export Secure
      Boot certificates to a file.
      
      Added support to automatically initialize the Trusted Platform Modules (TPM)
      nonvolatile storage when the TPM is first installed on a platform. This
      feature helps avoid issues where a TPM may be locked out from use to an
      Operating System and requires the user to manually clear the TPM setting from
      the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) menus when first installed.
      
      Updated branding during the boot process and in the pre-boot System Utilities
      from HP to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. No branding changes were made that
      could impact software running on the system. Industry standard SMBIOS tables
      were NOT updated to reflect Hewlett Packard Enterprise branding.
      
      Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities.
      
      Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the
      latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options.
      
      Added support for the industry standard SMBIOS Type 2 baseboard record.
      
      Added an option for "Configure for 2 minimum required, 4 required for
      redundancy" to the Power Supply Requirements Override setting in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This option can be selected to force the system to
      use "2+2" power supply redundancy. This option should only be selected if
      the HP Power Advisor indicates the system's configuration allows the server to
      operate properly with two power supplies installed. This option was
      incorrectly not included in RBSU in previous revisions of the System ROM. It
      could be configured using CONREP and was honored by the System ROM. If this
      option was previously configured with CONREP, updating to this revision of the
      System ROM will NOT impact the power supply requirements.
      
      Added support to the HP RESTful API to allow the user to configure the UEFI
      boot order when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Added support for 64GB LRDIMMs.

      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where the user may not be able to properly download an
      Active Health Systems (AHS) file from System Utilities or the Embedded UEFI
      shell when certain date ranges were used.
      
      Addressed an issue where a system configured with a Trusted Platform Module
      (TPM) may improperly measure an extra EV_SEPARATOR into the TPM PCR7.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Active Health System (AHS) file could not be
      downloaded to the embedded SD card from the embedded UEFI Shell.
      
      Addressed issues with USB support in the pre-boot environment when the system
      is configured in Legacy Boot Mode. These issues did not affect systems
      configured in UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain optional PCIe video adapters would fail to
      work properly when using a Linux Operating System.
      
      Addressed an issue where industry standard SMBIOS Type 9 entries for PCIe
      Slots attached to a not installed processor did not exist.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Boot Configuration may not work
      properly when configuring these options through the HP RESTful interface. This
      issue does not affect systems where the UEFI iSCSI Boot Configuration is
      configured through the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU).
      
      Addressed an issue where the drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller
      may not be detected on the first boot after switching from UEFI Boot Mode to
      Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the PXE Boot Policy does not function properly when
      the Network VLAN Configuration option is enabled. When Network VLAN
      Configuration is enabled, the server would always attempt to boot both iPV4
      and iPV6 regardless of the PXE Boot Order Policy setting.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server would display a Red Screen error and
      become unresponsive when exiting the System Utilities Embedded User
      Diagnostics when configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact
      systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the HP ProLiant Dynamic Power Regulator would not
      function properly when configured for Slow Mode. In rare cases, this could
      cause the system to not optimally switch processor power states.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may display a Red Screen error and become
      unresponsive from the UEFI shell when interrupting the ping command via a
      CTRL-C key press.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may report a 335-HP RESTful API error
      after setting the BIOS Administrator password through the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Date and Time may be set incorrectly when using
      the Date and Time option from the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) when the
      Daylight Savings Time option is enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may display a Red Screen error and become
      unresponsive during boot when more than 256 hard drives are attached to a
      storage controller. The UEFI BIOS will now limit the enumeration of bootable
      devices to 256 entries.
      
      Addressed an issue where video is not displayed when using the embedded video
      controller with certain newer monitors, such as the HP E190i, which do not
      properly operate in native resolutions such as 1280x1024.
      
      Addressed an issue with the incorrect version of the HpServerBootSettings
      schema in the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server could become unresponsive during boot or
      from the embedded UEFI shell when a Block I/O device such as a USB key or hard
      drive has a corrupt FAT32 file system.
      
      Addressed an issue where an erroneous 312 - HP Smart Battery error message
      would be displayed and logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) on the
      first boot after the system battery was removed from the server.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI or Legacy Option ROM for a PCIe adapter may
      not be properly executed when installed in certain slots. This could cause
      such issues as an inability to boot using the PCIe adapter. This issue was
      seen with a Brocade network adapter but could be seen with other adapters.
      
      Addressed an issue where processor temperatures may not be reported properly
      when the server was configured with 3 processors. This issue does not affect
      systems configured with a different amount of processors installed.
      
      **Known Issues:**
      
      None


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.20_05-16-2016
changelog:
  -     Added support for Intel Xeon E7-4800 v4 and E7-8800 v4 series processors.
      
      Added support for 128GB Load Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMM).
      
      Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) PCIe I/O
      Allocation option that allows the user to select how PCIe resources are
      assigned. This option can be used to address an issue where a server
      configured with a large number PCIe option cards that request legacy I/O
      space, such as Graphics Adapters, will display and log to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML) a "276-IMPORTANT: Option Card Configuration Error"
      message indicating that one or more PCIe devices may not have been assigned
      its requested I/O resources and attempt to boot.
      
      Updated the UEFI Secure Boot revocations list (DBX) with the latest copy from
      Microsoft.
      
      Updated to the latest support modules for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology
      (TXT) including the Intel Authenticated Code Module (ACM) and Intel Secure
      Initialization (SINIT) module.
      
      Updated the HP RESTful API HPE BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the
      latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options.
      
      Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities.
      
      Updated the UEFI Secure Boot Key Database revocations list (DBX) with the
      latest version from Microsoft. This includes the latest list of revoked
      certificates.
      
      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.

  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      None
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (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
      version update to a revision later than 2.4x which will be released later this
      year. This issue has no impact on the thermal operation of the server and is
      simply an issue with the temperature displayed during boot. While updating to
      this revision of the BIOS will not address this issue unless the iLO FW
      revision is later than 2.4x, there are no issues caused by updating the BIOS
      without updating iLO FW.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI or Legacy Option ROM for a PCIe adapter may
      not be properly executed when installed in certain slots. This could cause
      such issues as an inability to boot using the PCIe adapter. This issue was
      seen with a Brocade network adapter but could be seen with other adapters.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server health LED may remain set in a degraded or
      failed state after an error event was resolved during server operation.
      Previously, a server reset may have been needed to clear the health LED event.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where the server may become unresponsive
      during boot when performing reboot testing. When this issue occurs, the system
      will report an Illegal Opcode Exception (Red Screen) in the pre-boot error
      handler.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (RBSU) option for Embedded UEFI Shell Auto Startup Script Network Location
      does not accept an NSH file name containing upper case characters.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Software Initiator boot options may
      become invalid if the DHCP server provides a new IP Address to a previously
      configured iSCSI boot option.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during boot when
      configured with a HPE Dual microSD device when one of the microSD devices is
      failed or missing.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may assign incorrect ACPI NUMA proximity
      allocations for servers configured with two or more processors and with memory
      only attached to a single processor socket potentially leading to non-optimal
      performance. This issue does not impact servers with memory configured on
      multiple processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) setting may not
      be configured properly through the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue where the internal SD card would remain active after the
      user has disabled the SD slot from System Utilities BIOS/Platform
      Configuration (RBSU) option. This issue only affects systems configured in
      Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may become unresponsive when using the
      PING command from the Embedded UEFI Shell.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Software Initiator boot options may
      become invalid if the DHCP server provides a new IP Address to a previously
      configured iSCSI boot option.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may fail to boot from existing UEFI iSCSI
      Software Initiator boot options if the user changed the iSCSI Target IP
      address.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may fail to boot from UEFI iSCSI Software
      Initiator boot options that has iSCSI Initiator or Target configured using
      static IPv6 addresses.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Software Initiator boot option IPv6
      address cannot be configured using the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue that may result in losing the existing UEFI iSCSI Software
      Initiator boot options if any of the connection parameters (LUN, Remote Port,
      IP address, login credentials) change.
      
      Addressed an issue in reporting the incorrect PCIe slot number in the error
      messages of failed iSCSI boot attempts.
      
      Addressed an issue of iSCSI boot configuration options not being available
      from the HP RESTful API when there are no network adapters in the system.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where the server may become unresponsive due
      to a Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI) when performing a shutdown or startup from
      an Operating System.
      
      **Known Issues:**
      
      None

      the Date and Time option from the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) when the
      Daylight Savings Time option is enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may display a Red Screen error and become
      unresponsive during boot when more than 256 hard drives are attached to a
      storage controller. The UEFI BIOS will now limit the enumeration of bootable
      devices to 256 entries.
      
      Addressed an issue where video is not displayed when using the embedded video
      controller with certain newer monitors, such as the HP E190i, which do not
      properly operate in native resolutions such as 1280x1024.

      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.

      None
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where a system that experiences an HPE Smart Storage
      Battery failure may become unresponsive when configured with iLO Firmware
      2.40.Note there is an issue wherea system configured with Integrated
      Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware version 2.40 may experience an intermittent and
      false HPE Smart Storage Battery failure, logged in the Integrated Management
      Log (IML).Due to the BIOS issue addressed in this revision, the false HPE
      Smart Storage Battery failure may result in the system becoming unresponsive.
      This issue does not impact systems that are not configured with an HPE Smart
      Storage Battery or systems configured with iLO Firmware 2.30 or earlier.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (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
      version update to a revision later than 2.4x which will be released later this
      year. This issue has no impact on the thermal operation of the server and is
      simply an issue with the temperature displayed during boot. While updating to
      this revision of the BIOS will not address this issue unless the iLO FW
      revision is later than 2.4x, there are no issues caused by updating the BIOS
      without updating iLO FW.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI or Legacy Option ROM for a PCIe adapter may
      not be properly executed when installed in certain slots. This could cause
      such issues as an inability to boot using the PCIe adapter. This issue was
      seen with a Brocade network adapter but could be seen with other adapters.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server health LED may remain set in a degraded or
      failed state after an error event was resolved during server operation.
      Previously, a server reset may have been needed to clear the health LED event.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration
      (RBSU) option for Embedded UEFI Shell Auto Startup Script Network Location
      does not accept an NSH file name containing upper case characters.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Software Initiator boot options may
      become invalid if the DHCP server provides a new IP Address to a previously
      configured iSCSI boot option.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during boot when
      configured with a HPE Dual microSD device when one of the microSD devices is
      failed or missing.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Automatic Server Recovery (ASR) setting may not
      be configured properly through the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue where the internal SD card would remain active after the
      user has disabled the SD slot from System Utilities BIOS/Platform
      Configuration (RBSU) option. This issue only affects systems configured in
      Legacy Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may become unresponsive when using the
      PING command from the Embedded UEFI Shell.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Software Initiator boot options may
      become invalid if the DHCP server provides a new IP Address to a previously
      configured iSCSI boot option.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may fail to boot from existing UEFI iSCSI
      Software Initiator boot options if the user changed the iSCSI Target IP
      address.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may fail to boot from UEFI iSCSI Software
      Initiator boot options that has iSCSI Initiator or Target configured using
      static IPv6 addresses.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI iSCSI Software Initiator boot option IPv6
      address cannot be configured using the HP RESTful API.
      
      Addressed an issue that may result in losing the existing UEFI iSCSI Software
      Initiator boot options if any of the connection parameters (LUN, Remote Port,
      IP address, login credentials) change.
      
      Addressed an issue in reporting the incorrect PCIe slot number in the error
      messages of failed iSCSI boot attempts.
      
      Addressed an issue of iSCSI boot configuration options not being available
      from the HP RESTful API when there are no network adapters in the system.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where the server may become unresponsive due
      to a Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI) when performing a shutdown or startup from
      an Operating System.

      Addressed an issue with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 series Processors, Intel Xeon
      E3-1200 v6 series Processors, 6th Generation Intel Core i3 Processors, 7th
      Generation Intel Core i3 Processors, and Intel Pentium Processor G Series
      Processors in which a complex number of concurrent micro-architectural
      conditions may result in unpredictable system behavior when Intel
      Hyperthreading is enabled. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated
      version of Intel's microcode for these processors that addresses this issue.
      The issue requires short loops of less than 64 instructions that use the AH,
      BH, CH, or DH registers as well as their corresponding wider registers (e.g.
      RAX, EAX, or AX for AH) when both logical processors on the same physical
      processor core are active. This issue is not unique to HPE ProLiant servers
      and could impact any system utilizing affected processors which do not include
      the updated microcode. 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 for systems with Intel Hyperthreading enabled (which is the
      default for systems using processors which support Intel Hyperthreading).

  -     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
      device.
      
      Addressed an issue where a system may not log the failed DIMM (FRU) to the
      Integrated Management Log (IML) when experiencing an uncorrectable memory
      error when in ADDDC Memory Mode. In this case the system would log a Machine

      key to save boot order changes.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may become unresponsive during POST with a
      Red Screen Exception (RSOD) when the server was reset (restarted) at the same
      time that an iLO firmware reset was initiated. Note that updating iLO firmware
      results in the reset of iLO firmware.

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.
      
      Updated the System ROM support for One Button Secure Erase functionality with
      the latest HPE option devices.
      
      Updated the RESTful API HPE BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the
      latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options.

      vulnerabilities are not unique to HPE servers.
      
      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 ML30
      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.
      
      Addressed an issue in which the system may not properly boot to the HPE 8GB
      Dual microSD Flash USB Drive when an SD card is installed on the internal SD
      slot when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not
      impact systems in UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain 3rd party USB drive keys may not function
      properly after a system reset when the system is configured in UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the HPE CN1000E-T adapter may not boot properly in
      Legacy Boot Mode. This issue does not impact systems configured in UEFI Boot
      Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where firmware updates staged through the HPE RESTful API
      may fail to properly execute on a subsequent boot and be marked with an
      exception in the iLO firmware installation queue.
      
      Addressed an issue where iLO virtual media may not boot properly after setting
      the Boot on Next Reset option in the iLO Remote Console and Media - Virtual
      Media settings.
      
      Addressed an issue where the AHS Download application from the System
      Utilities Embedded Applications or UEFI Shell may fail to work properly with
      iLO firmware 1.30 or later.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI Shell sysconfig command may fail to set an
      option or become unresponsive.
      
      Addressed an issue where an optional SATA DVD drive may not unlock and allow
      media to be ejected after an operating system reboot.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during boot and
      experience a Red Screen (RSOD) when booting in Legacy Boot mode with a SATA
      M.2 drive installed. This issue does not impact systems in UEFI Boot Mode.
      
      Addressed an issue where a USB KVM, such as the HP AF611A KVM, may not
      function properly after a system reboot.

      menu in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) when pressing the F10 or F12
      key to save boot order changes.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may become unresponsive during POST with a
      Red Screen Exception (RSOD) when the server was reset (restarted) at the same
      time that an iLO firmware reset was initiated.  Note that updating iLO
      firmware results in the reset of iLO firmware.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System Utilities System Information data could
      not be successfully exported to an FTP (network) location. Previously the
      System Utilities would report the file was saved successfully but no actual
      information was saved on the network share.

  -     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
      Configuration called PCIe Switch MMIO Configuration. This option addresses a
      virtualization issue caused by different interpretations of the PCIe
      specification by disabling PCIE Switch MMIO Configuration.
      
      Updated the System ROM to allow for an increased amount of 64-bit Memory
      Mapped I/O available for third party options cards.
      
      Updated the System ROM support for One Button Secure Erase functionality with

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.50_08-27-2021
changelog:
  -     Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022. Windows Server 2022 adds a
      new security feature called Secured-core. Secured-core is only supported on
      3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. Secured-core servers use a
      combination of hardware features, firmware enablement and Windows Server
      operating system capabilities to provide protection against malware and
      rootkit security exploits.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Microsoft Secured-
      core Support. Enabling this setting makes the following policy changes and
      configures the corresponding options: Intel Virtualization Technology
      enabled, Intel VT-d enabled, Intel TXT Support enabled, Secure Boot enabled,
      TPM enabled in 2.0 mode. Disabling any of these features while Secured-core is
      enabled can prevent Secured-core from working properly.
      
      Added new RBSU option to Omit Boot Device Event in TPM PCR[4] following EDK2.
      Warning: changing the setting will affect TPM measurements and can impact
      software functionality which utilizes the TPM PCR registers such as Microsoft
      BitLocker. PCR[4] is the register that records the process of attempting to
      boot different hardware paths like from a a hard drive or CD, and what boot
      devices are attempted, and the Initial Program Loader (IPL) code that is
      loaded and executed from the device. If boot from one device fails,
      measurements in PCR[4] record the attempt to boot the next device or boot
      path. If recording which device attempted to boot is omitted with this option
      (i.e. enable this option), the BIOS records the event type
      EV_OMIT_BOOT_DEVICE_EVENTS in PCR[4], otherwise the event is not recorded.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.52_09-22-2021
changelog:
  -     Added support for updating NVMe/SATA drive firmware managed by Intel VROC via
      Firmware Update page in UEFI System Utilities.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for PCIe HotPlug Error
      Control. Use this option to select PCIe (NVMe) Hot-Plug support for the
      platform. When Hot-Plug Surprise is selected, the platform will attempt to
      protect the platform from experiencing an error on a surprise removal event.
      This option should be selected for older Operating Systems that do not support
      Enhanced Downstream Port Containment (eDPC). When eDPC Firmware Control is
      selected, the platform firmware and OS will properly negotiate and log all
      hot-plug events. This option is currently not supported by all Operating
      Systems. When eDPC OS Control is selected hot-plug events are handled by the
      Operating System with no involvement by the platform. All logging of events in
      this mode will be limited to the Operating System only. It is important that
      this option be set properly based on the Operating System to ensure hot-plug
      events and surprise removal events are handled properly by the platform.
      Please consult Operating System documentation for additional details. Note it
      is always recommended to perform a graceful device removal from the Operating
      System before performing a hot-plug event.

      Intel's reference code behavior.
      
      The path to the option:
      
      Memory Options >Memory Encryption Options >Total Memory Encryption Multi-
      Tenant (TME-MT)
      
      Added Chinese translation for "Intel(R) Speed Select Technology" in RBSU.

changelog:
  -     Replaced "AC power" with "external power" in the help text of "Automatic
      power-on" option. This is due to ProLiant servers also provide the DC power
      supply option.
      
      Added "DMI Power Management (ASPM)" option in RBSU. The option has the default
      value of "disable", which will override default setting of "enable" from the
      previous ROM. This is due to enabling DMI power management might result in
      system hang with machine check exception based on Intel erratum RKL-15.
      
      The path to the option is: Processor Options -> DMI Power Management (ASPM)
      
      This setting has the Redfish property URI of:
      /redfish/v1/systems/1/bios/settings/E3DmiAspm
      
      To follow DMTF schema, change the Redfish registry version naming to have the
      pattern of "^\d+.\d+.\d+$".
      
      For example,
      /redfish/v1/registrystore/registries/zh/biosattributeregistrya55.v1_1_20 will
      now becomes
      /redfish/v1/registrystore/registries/zh/biosattributeregistrya55.1.1.20

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.52_09-22-2021
changelog:
  -     Added new RBSU option to Omit Boot Device Event in TPM PCR[4] following EDK2.
      Warning: changing the setting will affect TPM measurements and can impact
      software functionality which utilizes the TPM PCR registers such as Microsoft
      BitLocker. PCR[4] is the register that records the process of attempting to
      boot different hardware paths like from a a hard drive or CD, and what boot
      devices are attempted, and the Initial Program Loader (IPL) code that is
      loaded and executed from the device. If boot from one device fails,
      measurements in PCR[4] record the attempt to boot the next device or boot
      path. If recording which device attempted to boot is omitted with this option
      (i.e. enable this option), the BIOS records the event type
      EV_OMIT_BOOT_DEVICE_EVENTS in PCR[4], otherwise the event is not recorded.
      
      Added support for updating NVMe/SATA drive firmware managed by Intel VROC via
      Firmware Update page in UEFI System Utilities.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for PCIe HotPlug Error
      Control. Use this option to select PCIe (NVMe) Hot-Plug support for the
      platform. When Hot-Plug Surprise is selected, the platform will attempt to
      protect the platform from experiencing an error on a surprise removal event.
      This option should be selected for older Operating Systems that do not support
      Enhanced Downstream Port Containment (eDPC). When eDPC Firmware Control is
      selected, the platform firmware and OS will properly negotiate and log all
      hot-plug events. This option is currently not supported by all Operating
      Systems. When eDPC OS Control is selected hot-plug events are handled by the
      Operating System with no involvement by the platform. All logging of events in
      this mode will be limited to the Operating System only. It is important that
      this option be set properly based on the Operating System to ensure hot-plug
      events and surprise removal events are handled properly by the platform.
      Please consult Operating System documentation for additional details. Note it
      is always recommended to perform a graceful device removal from the Operating
      System before performing a hot-plug event.

      **Problems Fixed:**  
            Resolved an issue, that can result in a network outage, when a profile is created with duplicate multiple networks.   
            Resolved an issue were Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) will reset modules that have port mirroring enabled when VCM restarts, and will casue a network outage.   
            Resolved an issue were VC modules do not provide information about CPU, part number, etc. via Command Line Interface (CLI).   
            Resolved an issue when using VC CLI, were a user is unable to add LDAP groups with names containing spaces.   
            Resolved an issue when a profile is created with multiple networks that use a Shared Uplink Set (SUS) without selecting any networks, and if this profile is applied to a server with Flex NICs, this will result in a segmentation fault, VCM SEGV.   
            Resolved an issue were 'About' HP VCM pop-up window was causing IE8 to crash, which results, in the About table not being displayed.  
            Resolved an issue with VCM SEGV when the user has a profile (with multiple networks defined in a connection without a network being configured), then edits the profile without making any changes, and then applies the profile to a server with Flex-10 LOM.
      
      **Known Issues:  
      **In a double-dense domain configuration, interconnect bays 7 and 8 should not be used to create a FC Fabric. The fabric should instead be created on bays 5 and 6. If a fabric is created on bays 7 or 8 using VCMCLI, an incorrect error message may be displayed 'ERROR: Module not found' instead of 'ERROR: A fabric is not allowed to be created with the specified bay for a double-sense configuration'   
            When a Blade server port has multiple FlexNICs defined (one of them is defined as FCoE) and the FCoE FlexNIC is deleted, the band width does not redistribute to other active FlexNICs even through the GUI will show it has.   
            If the Primary VC modules loses power or is removed, a Profile Status change trap is not sent as it should be. Work-around: When the Primary VC module loses power or is removed, the cpqHoSWRunninagStatusChangeTrap trap (defined in the cpqhost.mib MIB) will be sent by the backup VC module when it becomes Primary. A sample trap is shown below:   
                 
               Enterprise Specific Trap (.11017) Uptime: 20 days, 2:54:46.44,   
               SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: bay2TC,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.11.1.0 = INTEGER: 10,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "aus-c7000-13_vc_domain",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.3.1 = STRING: "HP Virtual Connect Domain Manager",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.2.0 = STRING: "VCM Domain status trap",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.4.1 = STRING: "3.15",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.12.1 = INTEGER: 4,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 = INTEGER: 5,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.14.1 = STRING: "VcD_6f54796e7543",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 = INTEGER: 2   
                 
               The two MIB OIDs in the trap above to analyze are:   
               enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1   
               enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1   
                 
               These OIDs will contain the following values when the Backup VC module has become the Primary:   
               cpqHoSWRunningConfigStatus : operational(5)   
               cpqHoSWRunningRedundancyMode : master(2)   
                 
            When upgrading from a pre-3.00 VC release, if Fibre Channel SNMP traps were defined with DNS type of the Trap Destination address, upon completion of the upgrade SNMP settings will not be applied to the VC-FC modules. Work-around: Edit any FC SNMP trap destinations, using the GUI or CLI, that have a DNS name for the trap destination and change the DNS name to an IPv4 address.   
            When Virtual Connect has assigned a Server Profile to a server, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can't modify the protocol configuration (iSCSI/FCoE) of any NIC (including the 551m), even if the NIC is not connected to a Virtual Connect module. Any protocol configuration changes must be made when the Server Profile is not assigned to the server.

      **Problems Fixed:**  
            Resolved an issue where the primary VC module could not communicate with other modules due to a problem with the reverse DNS lookup when DNS is enabled in the VC infrastructure.   
            Resolved an issue where the VCM GUI was using HTTP instead of HTTPS.   
            Resolved an issue where changes in the SNMP configuration caused an outage.   
            Resolved an issue where updating gen numbers while creating or assigning a profile caused a NO-COMM state.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where renaming the associated network on the Edit Ethernet Network screen cleared the native property.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen caused a popup message to appear stating that there are no server connections to display, even when server profiles with assigned networks existed.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where the Calculating Server Connections progress bar hung after clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen.   
            Resolved an issue where OA would enter NO-COMM state when multiple VC Enet modules were reset at the same time and then reconfigured. The VC Ethernet Module recovery algorithm has been optimized to recover Odd side modules and then Even side modules (previously was a full reset/recovery of all modules in parallel). Depending on configuration of the Domain, this will reduce or eliminate Network outage during a full enclosure recovery.   
            Resolved loss of FC connectivity when an 8Gb/24-Port VC-FC Module receives a multi-sequence frame from an in band Storage Management application (application was executing on a server within the c7000 enclosure). Resulted in a 8Gb/24-Port FC Module reset and loss of FC connectivity.   
            Resolved an issue when the VC-FC 24-Port Module would not recover from an NO-COMM state after an OA failover. The IP address for the FC Module was not being updated correctly, and blocking the proper communication with the Primary VC Module.  
            Resolved an issue where VCM reported a NO-COMM state for a VC-FC module, even though the VC-FC module was still responding to a ping command.
