HP ML530 Implementing Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2 on HP - Page 31

Appendix B: resolved issues This section lists issues with existing Windows Server 2003 installations that are resolved by understanding support limitations or by performing ROM, firmware, and PSP upgrades. Table 12. Resolved issues Issue 1 Issue 2 SYSTEM ROM UPGRADE REQUIRED on ProLiant servers with Intel® Xeon™, Xeon DP, or Xeon MP processors to correct timing marginality in the Instruction Decoder. Description Intel Corp. has identified a timing marginality in a small percentage of Intel Xeon, Intel Xeon DP and Intel Xeon MP Processors that can cause erratic system behavior after prolonged usage. Based on Erratum P72 in the Intel Xeon Processor Specification Update and Erratum O69 in the Intel Xeon MP Processor Specification Update dated July 2004, the timing marginality in the instruction decoder unit may cause unpredictable application or system behavior. Solution HP strongly recommends downloading and applying the System ROMPaq Upgrade Diskette (dated September 2004 or later) to upgrade the ProLiant System ROM to the appropriate date. The Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature in Windows Server 2003 causes the HP Insight Management Agents and the HP ProLiant Rack Infrastructure Service to stop running. Description If the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) feature is enabled in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, it causes the HP Insight Management Agents for Windows Server 2003 and the HP ProLiant Rack Infrastructure Interface Service for Windows Server 2003 (this only affects ProLiant Server Blades) to stop running. Solution This issue was resolved in an earlier PSP. Install PSP 7.70A (or later) to get the fix. 31
