changelog:
  -     *Fixes in version 14.26.6000 :**
      
        * Fixed an issue that cause the firmware to hang when an FLR occurred at the same time as the teardown. As a result, the teardown flow took a lock, and never  released it because it was being aborted by an FLR.
      
      **Fixes in version 14.26.4012 :**
      
        * Updated the firmware behavior to report PLDM version 1.1.0 regardless of whether Redfish was enabled or not.
        * Enabled the option to prevent clock and capture CPLD GPIOs glitch upon firmware reset.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a function to misbehave when a PCIe Traffic Light Protocol(TLP) was set with a poisoned indication.
        * Fixed a rare issue that resulted in "destroy mkey " command getting stuck when rebooting the hypervisor.
      
      **Fixes in version 16.26.6000 :**
      
        * Fixed an issue that prevented PCI link from being established when the firmware was corrupted.
        * Fixed an issue that triggered a firmware assert and resulted in a wrong deallocation of a resource when Packet Pacing was enabled, and a QP was being destroyed.
        * Fixed an issue that cause the firmware to hang when an FLR occurred at the same time as the teardown. As a result, the teardown flow took a lock, and never  released it because it was being aborted by an FLR.
      
      **Fixes in version 16.26.4012:**
      
        * Updated the firmware behavior to report PLDM version 1.1.0 regardless of whether Redfish was enabled or not.
        * Enabled the option to prevent clock and capture CPLD GPIOs glitch upon firmware reset.
        * Fixed an issue that slowed the firmware flows when executing many destroy XRQ commands on an XRQ that supported DC transport service.
        * Fixed an issue that caused performance degradation when working in dual-port devices under bidirectional traffic stress.
        * On rare occasions, when firmware coalesce Host stuck events occur, a async event might be delayed to be reported, and not be triggered until the next time the PCIe hangs on one of the hosts.
        * Fixed an issue that resulted in unexpected queue pairs transitioned to error in lossy tests.
        * Limited the maximum amount of dumps created on a Physical Function(PF).
        * Renamed the GMP Mellanox Vendor Specific External Capability mask enum from IsDiagnosticCountersSupported to IsDiagnosticDataSupported.
        * Fixed a stability issue in RoCE retransmissions under stress affecting Zero-Touch-RoCE.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a function to misbehave when a PCIe TLP was set with a poisoned indication.
        * Fixed an issue that caused large number of packet to drop when running Jumbo frames with Time to live (TTL) rewrite
        * Limited the number of the elements in the QoS tree 2K. Creating more than 250 Vport_tc for every TC was not allowed
        * Fixed the query QP flow. Instead of always taking port 1, FW will now reply the proper port, 1 or 2, for the dual port RDMA over Converged Ethernet(RoCE) net device.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the nack counters to constantly be reported as "0". 
        * In a rare scenario when the driver was executing the "2err" command and th Queue pair(QP) was in SQ drain state, the firmware might post event of broken Work Queue (WQ) instead of sending error CQEs on all the WQEs.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices is updated to 14.27.1016:**
      
      P21930-B21 (HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ MCX4121A-XCAT Adapter)  
      P11341-B21 (HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ MCX4621A-ACAB OCP3 Adapter)
      
      **Firmware for the following devices is updated to 16.27.1016:**
      
      P13188-B21 (HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 MCX512F-ACAT Adapter)  
      P21927-B21 (HPE Ethernet 100Gb 2-Port QSFP28 MCX516A-CCHT Adapter)  
      P10112-B21 (HPE Ethernet 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 MCX562A-ACAI OCP3 Adapter)
      
      **New features and changes in version 14.27.1016 and 16.27.1016:**
      
        * RoCE Selective Repeat introduces a new QP retransmission mode in RoCE: recovery from packet drop by resending the dropped packet and not only all the PSN window (Go-Back-N protocol). This new capability comes with the following limitations:  
                 Selective repeat cannot be used with AR  
                 Does not work with signature (T10-DIF)  
                 Does not work with Tag Matching enabled
        * Allows BMC to query and control NIC over RedFish API (https://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish). Currently, the NIC supports reading data and setting basic Ethernet and InfiniBand parameters
        * Enables matching of source_vhca_port in the FDB flow for ECMP hardware offload on a single FDB.
        * Firmware can be now updated as well as DB strings while performing Live Firmware Patch.
        * Added support for dumping hardware steering entries (raw data) using the resource dump API.
        * The eth_link_down_counter now counts logical link downs as well.
        * Enables the device to generate events that will notify the user about any resource dumps updates. The resource dump owner (PF/ECPF) will be notified on the VF command failures by events that will contain the needed information to call the resource_dump command. The device will dump the resource in the standard resource dump sequence.
        * Added support for RSS based on inner headers of GTP-U tunneled packets.

Note: If the port does not go up, switch to Force mode.                                                                                                                        
      
      **New features and changes included in version 16.31.1014:**
      
        * NIC scheduling feature support has been disabled for non-privileged functions.
        * Implemented a new NC-SI command get_debug_info to get mstdump via the NC-SI protocol to debug a device if the PCI link fails for any given reason.
        * support for Enabling/Disabling NIC and RDMA (port/partition) was included via the UEFI HII system settings.
        * Increased the maximum number of MSIX per VF to 127.
        * Asymmetrical MSIX Configuration: This feature allows the device to be configured with a different number of MSIX vectors per physical PCI functions.To use this feature, please follow these steps:
        *         Clear NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to disable global symmetrical MSIX configuration.
        *         Set PF_NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to enable asymmetrical per Physical Function MSIX configuration.
        *         Configure PF_NUM_PF_MSIX per physical PCI function.
        * RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
        * Added a new bit ("data_in_order") to query the QP and allow a process/library to detect when the AR is enabled.
        * A new flex parser to support GENEVE hardware offload and ICMP.
        * When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.
        * Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
        * Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2 QPs.
        * RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB receive queues according to the DLID and  the DQPN.

        * A race condition that occured between the duplicate read and QP commands (2RST, 2ERR and Destroy) in the signature that caused the command to hang.
        * When all traffic applications sharing the same combination of <function, priority, side> were rate limited (for example by congestion control), this limit was enforced on other applications with different combinations of <function, priority, side> under the same VL. For example, requestor flows (RDMA-write) were limited to rate X, however, this rate was also enforced on a QP sending RDMA-read responses. This firmware version prevents rate limit enforcement on traffic applications which should not be limited.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * On rare occasions, the system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Packet Pacing rate was used if asymmetric VFs was enabled.
        * Incorrect RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * Issue with RSS on IPSec flows in ConnectX-4 Lx led to performance degradation. In this scenario, the SPI optimization caused packets from a given host to hash to the same CPU core. The fix was to ignore SPI optimization according to l4_type in ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.  
      
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.35.3006:**
      
        * Packet loss that occurred when restarting the transmit. 
        * An issue that prevented RoCE malformed packets (UDP packet with dest_port equal to RoCE well known udp_dport (0x4791)) from being counted on the vport_counter when the function disables RoCE (through MODIFY_NIC_VPORT_CONTEXT command).
        * A memory leakage that occurred when closing connected QPs (Type RC/UC/XRC/DC).
        * Added a missing VLAN strip.

             drives in RAID 1, 5, 10, and 50 logical drives.
      
           * In some I/O workloads, the file system or application might read  
             incorrect data from encrypted RAID 0 (with two or more physical  
             drives) or RAID 10/10ADM (with four or more physical drives) logical  
             drives.
      
           * A controller might hang when a Test Unit Ready command fails during  
             SSD logical drive Rapid Parity Initialization.
      
           * During a rebuild and extreme simultaneous host I/O writes, the rebuild  
             operation might use old data, resulting in subsequent host reads that  
             might return old data.
      
           * A host might read incorrect data after background parity  
             initialization finishes on a logical drive on a single array with  
             multiple logical drives.
      
           * A controller lockup issue might occur during the repair of an  
             unrecoverable read error (URE) on a RAID 5 volume.

             coalesced host request encounters a fatal error.
      
           * A failed drive installed during controller boot is not identified as a  
             failed drive.
      
           * The failed drive status LED is not illuminated when a good drive is  
             replaced with a failed drive in a backplane.
      
           * In configurations with backplanes, a failed drive installed as a  
             replacement for a previously configured RAID volume is not identified  
             as a failed drive.
      
           * A rebuild of a logical drive created from SSD drives fails to start  
             within 1,200 seconds.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where PCIe root ports were incorrectly indicating they
      supported PCIe Gen4. In rare cases this could cause a PCIe device to attempt
      to train at Gen4. Only PCIe Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 are supported on the ProLiant
      DL385 Gen10. Without this resolution devices may run slower than their optimal
      frequency.
      
      Addressed an issue where core counts for some processors such as AMD EPYC 7282
      would be incorrectly displayed in iLO and some pre-boot pages. This was not a
      functional issue and only affected the count of enabled cores as displayed to
      the user. The cores would have been active even without this resolution.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may fail to boot if the RBSU Bifurcate
      option was set to anything other than Auto when using AMD EPYC 7002 series
      processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may immediately power on after issuing
      shutdown while running VMware ESXi.
      
      Addressed an issue where some PCIe cards may not be available due to PCIe
      training issues.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server Security
      called UEFI Variable Access Firmware Control. This option, when enabled, can
      be used to block UEFI Variable writes, such as to the UEFI Boot Order, from
      the Operating System or a third-party utility. HPE recommends leaving this
      capability disabled unless the user specifically wants to prevent the
      operating system's normal operation of writing to UEFI Variables, which
      typically occur during OS install.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50_08-09-2021
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
      AMD Gen 3 EPYC 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: AMD I/O Virtualization Technology
      enabled, TPM visible, DMA remapping enabled, AMD DRTM enabled, and Secure Boot
      enabled. Disabling any of these features while Secured-core is enabled can
      prevent Secured-core from working properly.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server Availability
      called IPMI Watchdog Timer. When enabled, the system will start an IPMI based
      watchdog timer during boot which can be used to protect against a boot hang or
      other unexpected system boot issue. It is the responsibility of the user to
      disable the IPMI watchdog timer once the operating system has booted. Failure
      to disable the timer can result in an unexpected server reset or shutdown.
      
      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.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Dynamic PCIe Rate
      Change. This option should be enabled for certain PCIe devices that change
      their advertised speed during training. The option is disabled by default, and
      should only be enabled if the system is configured with a device which is
      training at a less than advertised speed.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for MCTP Broadcast
      Support. This option is used to control the PCIe Management Component
      Transport Protocol (MCTP) support for a given slot. This option can be used to
      disable MCTP support to a given PCIe endpoint that may not properly support
      this protocol. It is recommended that this option remain enabled for full
      system functionality.

  -     Add new System Configuration (RBSU) configuration options that allow
      controlling the processor's P0 (maximum) frequency. This includes the "Custom
      Pstate0" option with settings of "Auto" (default) and "Manual" and the
      "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" option that allows setting the P0 frequency. When
      the "Custom Pstate0" option is configured for "Manual", the value of the
      "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" is used for the processor's P0 frequency. When the
      "Custom Pstate0" option is configured for "Auto", the processor uses its
      normal, maximum P0 frequency and the "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" option is not
      configurable. In System Configuration (RBSU), these options are located under
      the BIOS/Processor Options. This setting has the following Redfish

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50_07-29-2021
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
      AMD Gen 3 EPYC 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: AMD I/O Virtualization Technology
      enabled, TPM visible, DMA remapping enabled, AMD DRTM enabled, and Secure Boot
      enabled. Disabling any of these features while Secured-core is enabled can
      prevent Secured-core from working properly.
      
      \- Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server
      Availability called IPMI Watchdog Timer. When enabled, the system will start
      an IPMI based watchdog timer during boot which can be used to protect against
      a boot hang or other unexpected system boot issue. It is the responsibility of
      the user to disable the IPMI watchdog timer once the operating system has
      booted. Failure to disable the timer can result in an unexpected server reset
      or shutdown.
      
      \- 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 the 4SFF 24G x4NVMe/SAS UBM1 Storage Controller
      backplane.
      
      \- Added an enhancement to existing processor current monitoring in order to
      avoid potential overcurrent shutdowns.

  -     \- Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Dynamic PCIe Rate
      Change. This option should be enabled for certain PCIe devices that change
      their advertised speed during training. The option is disabled by default, and
      should only be enabled if the system is configured with a device which is
      training at a less than advertised speed.
      
      \- Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for MCTP Broadcast
      Support. This option is used to control the PCIe Management Component
      Transport Protocol (MCTP) support for a given slot. This option can be used to
      disable MCTP support to a given PCIe endpoint that may not properly support
      this protocol. It is recommended that this option remain enabled for full
      system functionality.
      
      \- Added support for reporting CPU PPIN/Serial Number in SMBIOS.

      log a Corrected Memory Error Threshold Event in cases where the system is not

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50_07-29-2021
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
      AMD Gen 3 EPYC 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: AMD I/O Virtualization Technology
      enabled, TPM visible, DMA remapping enabled, AMD DRTM enabled, and Secure Boot
      enabled. Disabling any of these features while Secured-core is enabled can
      prevent Secured-core from working properly.
      
      \- Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server
      Availability called IPMI Watchdog Timer. When enabled, the system will start
      an IPMI based watchdog timer during boot which can be used to protect against
      a boot hang or other unexpected system boot issue. It is the responsibility of
      the user to disable the IPMI watchdog timer once the operating system has
      booted. Failure to disable the timer can result in an unexpected server reset
      or shutdown.
      
      \- 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 an enhancement to existing processor current monitoring in order to
      avoid potential overcurrent shutdowns.

      Tolerant (ADDDC) memory mode for all Workload Profiles except Low Latency and
      Custom if the feature is supported by the server's DIMM configuration. Note
      that if the Advanced Memory Protection mode had previously been configured for
      Mirroring or Online Spare, the setting will NOT be automatically changed to
      HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) mode. Also, if the DIMM configuration
      does not support HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) mode, then the
      Advanced Memory Protection Mode will remain Advanced ECC Mode. Note that if
      the current BIOS configuration settings are queried via Redfish or the RESTful
      API, the setting for the Advanced Memory Protection Mode will indicate this
      change.

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.

      internal error occurred during RIS operation".
      
      Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would
      still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced
      with the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System
      ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.
      
      Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in
      BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient
      resources to support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an
      insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would
      have been required to detect the presence of the newly added drive.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-
      bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only

      microcode which provides mitigation for an Intel sighting where under complex
      micro-architectural conditions, executing X87 or AVX or integer divide
      instructions may results in unpredictable system behavior. This issue is not
      unique to HPE servers.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during POST when
      both iLO and the server are reset simultaneously.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may experience a Red Screen (RSOD) during
      boot when a Matrox GPU is present and the server is booting in Legacy Boot
      Mode. This problem could occur with other optional PCIe graphics adapters.
      This issue is not intermittent and will occur on every boot with impacted
      optional PCIe graphics adapters with previous System ROM revisions. This issue
      is not seen with servers configured in UEFI Boot Mode or when using the
      embedded graphics controller.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may incorrectly report that a DIMM has
      been mapped out after a memory training failure in the Integrated Management
      Log (IML) when the DIMM is still present in the system memory map. The IML
      will now correctly indicate the memory training failure, but will not indicate
      that the DIMM has been mapped out. This change only impacts the IML logging of
      the error and does not impact the operation of the system.

  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server Availability
      called IPMI Watchdog Timer. When enabled, the system will start an IPMI based
      watchdog timer during boot which can be used to protect against a boot hang or
      other unexpected system boot issue. It is the responsibility of the user to
      disable the IPMI watchdog timer once the operating system has booted. Failure
      to disable the timer can result in an unexpected server reset or shutdown.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server Security
      called UEFI Variable Access Firmware Control. This option, when enabled, can
      be used to block UEFI Variable writes, such as to the UEFI Boot Order, from
      the Operating System or a third-party utility. HPE recommends leaving this
      capability disabled unless the user specifically wants to prevent the
      operating system's normal operation of writing to UEFI Variables, which
      typically occur during OS install.
      
      Updated the BIOS TPM 1.2 support for Windows 2022.

  -     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.
