Important Note:

 IMPORTANT: After upgrading to the ProLiant DL145 G2 BMC Firmware v1.23

        ===========================================

           
 	   Resolved an issue where the IPMI session privilege level 
	   was getting limited to "user".  This could prevent customers 
	   from executing some commands such as power down.
		
			
Known Problems -

	   If the user tries to remotely establish a remote console EMS 
	   connection with a server running Windows 2003 SP1, the session 
	   will disconnect the first time this is attempted.   Subsequent 
	   attempts to establish and log in to EMS will work.  
	   Will be fixed in an upcoming maintenance release.
