            ============================================ 
	
                Updated to integrate the latest Intel processor support code
                into the System ROM.  This works around an issue with the 
                Intel Xeon processor that can result in erratic system
                behavior after prolonged usage.  The failures were identified
                in a small percentage of Intel Xeon processors during
                simulated long-term reliability testing.  These issues have
                only been seen in Intel's simulated environment, and no field
                issues have been identified.  While the nature of the failure
                for systems experiencing this issue is difficult to quantify,
                systems may experience systems hangs, Windows blue screen,
                or Linux kernel panics.  HP recommends customers transition
                to this new BIOS version to prevent the aforementioned issues.
