SUPERSEDES HISTORY:

Enhancements
PDC 46.34

Added BOOT support for the following PCI I/O cards:
AD331A PCI-X, 1-port, GigE 1000Base-T Adapter
AD332A PCI-X, 1-port, GigE 1000Base-SX Adapter
Added BOOT, SWAP, and DUMP support for the following PCI I/O cards:
AB378B PCI-X, 1-port, 4GB Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
AB379B PCI-X, 2-port, 4GB Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter

PDC 45.11

Enabled support for PA-8900 processors.
Added support for a total of 8, 4GB DIMMs increasing the maximum system memory size from 24GB to 32GB.
Added 30 second delay after a "ser pdt clear" command at the BCH Main Menu to allow manual power down of the system and replacement of a bad DIMM without requiring rotation of all remaining DIMMs.
Added support for future 4GB Fiber Channel Host Bus Adapters.


So firmwarre update I would go for, look here:
PDC 45.44

Fixed an issue where the system may HPMC during every other boot just after memory self-test with a MEM_UNEXPECTED_HPMC event when FastBoot was enabled.
In previous versions after a successful reboot following a system fault the System LED may not automatically change from flashing red to flashing yellow.

PDC 45.11

In previous revisions with a four port lan card installed, a "ser scsi default" command at the BCH Main Menu may incorrectly display the following error: "ERROR: failed IODC write for path: 0x1000400".
In previous revisions a "deconfigured:stopped" processor may incorrectly be displayed as being in an "unknown" state when using the BCH Main Menu "in pr" command to view processor status.
In previous revisions when performing a "sea ipl" from the BCH Main Menu, any device that does not have a bootable lif may display a "bad lif magic" message while logging a "BOOT_BAD_LIF_MAGIC_OTHER" event.
Any updates to the system clock at the BCH Main Menu or the Operating System will now always be reflected in the iLO Management Processor without requiring a system reset.
Autoboot will no longer be halted if the System Event Log is full.
In previous versions multiple Single Bit Errors with MEM_CORR_ERR and MEM_MULTIPLE_ERRORS_DETECTED events may cause the system to hang during power on self test.

PDC 44.24

Resolved an issue where the system would fail to dump following a TOC.
ErrorHandler will now send chassis codes to indicate the type of error encountered.
In the case of a DMT entry not being found the system will halt and send out a DMT_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND chassis code.
Added two chassis codes to send out the entire part number of the memory extender.
Resolved an issue which caused HPUX to incorrectly report installed physical memory.
Low Priority Machine Checks are turned off until HPUX boot is complete to avoid improperly registering a Low Priority Machine Check.
Corrected a parity error chassis code from returning incorrect data and triggering attention LED on every BCH boot during a memory ECC test.
Resolved an issue which caused random memory rank deallocations due to a missing resistor on the memory extender.
Corrected an issue that resulted in a stopped processor after running an MP memory test.
Corrected an issue where AUTOSTART flag was incorrectly read from stable store and when set, prevented autoboot and autosearch.
Resolved an issue when booting add-on PCI LAN cards that allowed the first LAN server to respond to boot the machine.
In previous versions, a PDC_ALLOC request to allocate space would return SUCCESS even when there was insufficient storage to do so.
Resolved an issue that resulted in a HPMC when attempting to boot on single core systems.
Corrected an issue that resulted in no PIM for an L1 cache error.
Resolved an issue that caused a memory hang when multiple memory errors are detected.
Corrected an issue that cleared the PDT on hard reset resulting in changes to memory configuration to be lost between DC power cycles.
Added logging of inbound correctable and uncorrectable errors.
Initialized a variable that when uninitialized, caused a CC_MEM_EXTENDER_SPD_ERROR event indicating the memory extender SPD couldn't be read.
Corrected an issue that filled the SEL log with PDCE_CALL_TAKE_TOO_LONG events which would require clearing the log before using autoboot.
Resolved an issue where an ACC card (Z7340A) placed in a PCI slot could not be mapped due to insufficient memory failure.
Corrected an issue where the Tachlite FibreChannel IODC driver (A6795A) failed to come online with the B-Series and M-Series switches at port F set at 2Gbps fixed speed, resulting in an FibreChannel boot failure at the BCH prompt: "IODC ENTRY_INIT failed. Error Status: -4".
