Problem When using BIOS R0058, user will read wrong Processor frequency in BIOS
and OS on any of the Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5500/5600 series
Implication User Might find incorrect Processor frequency in BIOS serup->Advanced-
>Processor configuration->Processor Frequency. The Processor frequency
might be displayed as 1.60GHz in BIOS R0058
Status This issue might be fixed in a future BIOS revision

Voltage Change Error Message is logged in the SEL when LVDIMM’s are
installed
Problem When LVDIMM’s are installed in an Intel® S5500/S5520 Series Server System,
the IBMC will report a DIMM voltage change error message in the SEL, when
the server boots up. The Sensor also reads a higher threshold value (1.44V)
than the expected 1.35V for the LVDIMM memory
Example:78 06/19/2012-15:29:06 Voltage /BB +1.35v P1 MEM (#0x1D)
Warning event: BB +1.35v P1 MEM reports the sensor is in a high, but
non-critical, and going higher state. Sensor reading: Unspecified.
Threshold value: 1.44 Volts. BMC - LUN #0 (Channel #00h)
Implication User may incorrectly conclude that the Intel® S5500/S5520 Series Server
System does not support LVDIMM use.
