ENHANCEMENTS: 
- Provides a virtual serial port enhancement that enables iLO 2 remote serial 
console users to establish a session at any time prior to, or during, the 
system Power-On Self-Test (POST) sequence, and enables them to view and 
interact with POST. Previously, the HOST ROM would detect the presence of the 
serial port/Virtual Serial Port at POST, and if it was not connected, then the 
BIOS Serial Console Redirection feature would not transmit data for the rest of 
the boot cycle. The most recent HOST ROMs and iLO 2 firmware now communicate 
the presence of a Remote Serial Console connection, and will start transmitting 
data if a connection is made during the system boot process.

- Updates downloadable to use new Smart Component delivery method.
