Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes:
Corrected an issue where L1 Cache Operational Mode is reported incorrectly as Write-Through in SMBIOS. All L1/L2/L3 should be Write-Back .
Corrected an issue where a complex sequence of internal processor events may result in unexpected page faults or use of incorrect page translations if EPT (Extended Page Tables) is enabled. Due to this error, a guest may crash or experience unpredictable system behavior.
Corrected an issue where BIOS cannot read Extended PCIe Capabilities on devices other than CPU1 using UEFI interfaces.
Corrected an issue in the IHV SCT test where the responses to the invalid passing parameters are incorrect.
Corrected an issue in System Setup where the system was truncating device names in the Device Settings page when Console Redirection was active.
Corrected BIOS/iDRAC Console Redirection interface issue that could change BIOS Setup settings to
defaults.
Enhancements:
Updated Intel processor and memory reference codes to Rev V2.00.00.05.
Updated Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 V2 product family microcode to 427.
