        ProLiant ML370 G3 ROM P28 (06/23/2004)
        ============================================

                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.
