ELECTRONIC DISTRIBUTION ALLOWED:  Yes

SOFTPAQ UTILITY VERSION:  5.X

SUPERSEDES:  SP33495

DESCRIPTION: 
Unpacks the files that contain drivers and documentation to support the range of server adapters listed above. This set of files is an 
electronic update of the Network Server Adapters and Upgrade Modules Software and Documentation CD that came with the server adapter. 

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES: 
The Windows teaming software in this package now supports:
	- Blade I/O Port Mapping.  For blade systems, this software now displays the Enclosure Switch Bay number and Switch Port number instead of the Slot/Port number identifiers provided for non-HP BladeSystem adapters which makes identifying HP BladeSystem adapters easier.
	- Dual Channel Network Fault Tolerance.  This software now supports the following new team types:
	- Switch-assisted Dual Channel Network Fault Tolerance (INP)
	- Switch-assisted Dual Channel NFT and Preference Order (INP)
	- 802.3ad Dynamic Dual Channel Network Fault Tolerance (INP)
	- 802.3ad Dynamic Dual Channel NFT and Preference Order (INP)
	- Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). This software now supports LLDP, an IEEE industry-standard discovery protocol, which allows you to discover nearby network hardware. Support of this protocol allows you to use it on some newer switches instead of the Cisco Discovery Protocol.
	- Disabling Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).  This software now provides the ability to disable IPMI.

This software package contains Linux iSCSI Boot software for non-c class Blade servers.

Many of the drivers in this package have been renamed.
