DESCRIPTION:   This release provides updated firmware for the latest
               maintenance releases of the Hewlett-Packard Integrated
               Lights-Out Management Controller.

New features -
1. Enhanced iLO network connectivity on the front crash port of HP blade servers, excluding BL20p G1 & G2.

2. A BladeSystem configuration wizard for the initial setup of a Blade Server.  
   The wizard provides step-by-step instructions to simplify single blade setup without requiring DHCP or PXE. 
   The HP BladeSystem Setup page will automatically launch after a user authenticates to iLO from the front port.

3. The BL p-class tab has been redesigned to provide the following new functionality:
   
   The rack view provides a graphical representation of the entire rack including
   blade servers, switches, patch panels, and power supplies.  

   The rack view can be used to launch any iLO in the rack.

   Access to the BladeSystem configuration wizard.

Problems fixed from last release -

1. Correctly handle invalid password from within an XML PERL script.

HOW TO USE:

1.  Obtain two formatted 1.44 MB diskettes.

2.  Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to
    that directory.  The file that is downloaded is SP26186.EXE.

3.  From that drive and directory, execute the SoftPaq file:

SP26186 [ENTER]

You will be prompted to place each formatted 1.44 MB diskette into a diskette
drive to create the diskettes.  Be sure and note the first and second diskettes.

4.  After the diskettes are created, you may delete the downloaded file
    SP26186.EXE if you wish.

5.  Insert the first diskette in drive A: and cold boot the system.  The system will prompt
    you when the second diskette should be inserted.
