  support of Java 1.6.0. Remote console only supports Java version
  1.5.0.

  Advanced Management Module will shut down blades to prevent thermal
  damage to the installed components.
  - Email alerts from the Advanced Management module provide log source
  information.
  - User resets of the Advanced Management Module now generate an SNMP trap.
  - Support for the Secure Shell (SSH) Public Key authentication allows

  - The Advanced Management Module now allows management of local user
  files stored on the AMM.
  - Added a new feature for one time authenticated access to the Server
  Connectivity Module to trust an IP address.
  Limitations:
  - Power information on BladeCenter systems is refreshed at a default
  rate of once every 10 minutes. Power values for blades in such a
  system will therefore not be updated more frequently than every 10
  minutes, regardless of the rate at which PowerExecutive short-term
  polling is set to (once a minute, by default).
  - On triple-wide and quad-wide LS41 and HS41 blades setting a power
  capping value may not work as expected. The default value will be
  higher than the maximum power capping value. If capping is enabled
  with this default power capping value, an error message is displayed:
  "The Maximum Power value you entered is not within the accepted range.
  Please enter a different value. The power capping value may be set
  to a value within the power capping range to enable power capping."
