Problems Fixed -


        HP ProLiant DL380 G4 system ROM P51 (04/26/2006)
        =================================================

		1) Resolved issue which could result in intermittent hangs 
		   using iLO virtual media.

		2) Resolved potential issue with Online Spare Advanced Memory Protection 
		   feature which may result when failed DIMMs are installed as the spare 
		   memory.
		
		3) Resolved an issue where the System ROM could hang at the
		   end of POST when attempting to boot from a USB CDROM. 

		4) Resolved issue where Microsoft's future Windows Server 
		   operating system code-named "Longhorn" would not install 
		   properly.  This operating system is not close to shipping 
		   and Microsoft has just released the Beta 1 version.

		5) Resolved an issue that may result in a server hang during POST when 
		   certain storage controllers are installed and more than 7 logical 
		   drive volumes are configured.  This issue may occur on certain 
		   controllers, whether embedded or expansion card based, if 8 or 
		   more blank drives are attached to the controller.  This issue will 
		   occur with, but is not limited to, the HP 8 Port SAS/SATA controller, 
		   HP Single-Channel U320 SCSI HBA G2 Controller, and HP 64-Bit/133 
		   MHz PCI-X Dual-Channel U320 Controller.

		6) Added support for iSCSI adapters to be configured as the 
		   boot controller in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).  
	   	   Certain iSCSI adapters previously would not show up in 
		   the boot controller menu in RBSU.
