 Pre BIOS 77 passwords are considered all lower case.
-DC Power cycle is required if updating from R0054 or earlier. 
-System reset may occur on a boot after NVRAM corruption. 
-Video mode is set to 80x25 until BIOS defaults are loaded
-PAE (or equivalent) mode must be set to see >2.5GB of memory.
-The ESB NIC disable option in BIOS setup has been removed. 
-IF CMOS IS CLEARED, IT MUST BE CLEARED PER THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
