              BIOS Version 1.08 - Build OQE108A
                 - Update processor microcode (SRV_P_37)
                   This BIOS flash image update contains an Intel errata patch for the
                   microprocessor firmware, it addresses a potential marginal timing issue 
                   in the Arithmetic Logic Unit which might cause a system to exhibit erratic
                   behavior such as a system hang, reboot, blue screen or Kernel Panic (Linux),
                   and may also cause in-progress system operations (e.g., file, I/O) to fail. 
                   The possibility of this behavior is believed to be limited, but  IBM strongly
                   recommends that customers install this update as soon as possible to prevent
                   the possibility of the issues listed above.
