This component updates the Power Management Controller firmware on the ProLiant ML/DL G6 servers.

Upgrade Requirement:
Optional - Users should update to this version if their system is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version.

CP011310.exe ver. 2.9(D) is a replacement for the previous CP011009.exe ver. 2.9(C).  Ver. 2.9(D) contains a minor update to provide support with HPSUM.  The Power Management Controller Firmware contained within ver. 2.9(D) is the same as the Firmware contained within ver. 2.9(C). Therefore, it is not necessary to upgrade with ver. 2.9(D), if ver. 2.9(C) was previously used to successfully upgrade the Power Management Controller firmware to ver. 2.9.

Add support for Dynamic Power Capping. Dynamic Power Capping allows reclaiming power and cooling capacity by safely limiting server power consumption using a fast-acting, hardware-based capping algorithm. Dynamic Power Capping requires updating the System ROM and the iLO 2 Firmware in addition to the Power Management Controller Firmware. All required firmware must be updated to utilize Dynamic Power Capping.

Prerequisites:
You must have iLO 2 version 1.78 (or later) in order to flash the Power Management Controller.

This component requires iLO 2 version 1.78 or later.  Do not flash the iLO 2 Firmware and Power Management Controller Firmware simultaneously.

If the iLO 2 FW is not at version 1.78 or later before upgrading the Power Controller Firmware with this component the following message will be displayed:

"The software is not supported for installation on this system.
You must upgrade the iLO2 firmware to version 1.78 (or later) before flashing the Power Management Controller."

ML330 G6 models with Power Supply FIO kit 500447-B21 and DL320 G6 models with Power Supply FIO kit 515739-B21/537150-B21 do not support the Power Management Controller feature. Attempting to execute this component on these models will result in the following error message

"The software is not supported for installation on this system.

Unable to communicate with the Power Management Controller. You may be able to correct this problem by cycling power. You must physically disconnect all power, not just press the power button. If this is a blade server, you must remove and reinsert the blade.

Press 'Close' to exit Setup."
