These new drivers are also compatible with earlier versions of the Remote Supervisor Adapter. 2.2 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.23 to 1.24 For all xSeries and Netfinity server models running Windows 2000 with service processor hardware installed: Added a setup utility program for use in upgrading or installing the drivers. See the Windows 2000 installation topic in section 3 below. For xSeries 232 and 342 servers running NetWare without the Remote Supervisor Adapter, and for xSeries 300 servers running NetWare: The IBM Advanced System Management device driver for Novell NetWare now supports the Automatic Server Restart (ASR) feature on these servers. The driver automatically detects the ASR hardware so no additional installation steps are necessary from those listed in the NetWare installation topic in section 3 below. 2.3 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.22 to 1.23 Added support for future IBM xSeries eServers. 2.4 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.21 to 1.22 For xSeries 330 servers running Windows 2000 with the Remote Supervisor Adapter: Fixed a bug that could cause Windows 2000 to crash. For xSeries 232 and 342 servers running Windows NT-4 without the Remote Supervisor Adapter, and for xSeries 300 servers running Windows NT-4: After driver installation, these servers need to be rebooted to start the ASR driver. See the note in the Windows NT-4 installation topic in section 3 below. For xSeries 232 and 342 servers running Windows 2000 without the Remote Supervisor Adapter, and for xSeries 300 servers running Windows 2000: To enable the Automatic Server Restart feature a special asrsetup.exe routine needs to be executed. See the Windows 2000 installation topic in section 3 below. For xSeries 220 servers running NetWare 5.1 with Support Pack 2, and the Remote Supervisor Adapter: A code bug that prevented the IBM Advanced System Management device driver for Novell NetWare from running properly, has been fixed. For xSeries 220 servers running Windows NT or Windows 2000 with the Remote Supervisor Adapter: The Remote Supervisor Adapter can now perform a graceful shutdown of the host operating system without requiring a management application, such as IBM Director, or Netfinity Director running on the server. 2.5 Advanced System Management Device Driver version 1.20 to 1.21 For xSeries 220 servers running Windows 2000 with the Remote Supervisor Adapter: There are new driver installation and update instructions included within this README.TXT file. For xSeries 220 servers running NetWare: Changes have been made to the Automatic Server Restart (ASR) device driver to properly enable the ASR hardware circuit. 3.0 System Management Device Driver installation instructions -------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The Netfinity Manager application program must be stopped before any of these service processor device drivers can be installed.
