    I have an HP Microserver N36L. It has an AMI bios with an HP Proliant 2.0 slic in the F0 module.

    I want the bios to have a 2.1 slic in it. If I try and add a 21. slic via AMITool I get "Boot block checksum not valid". Using the advanced options in AMITool I can choose to "Ignore checksum and module 80H warnings" and create the bios.

    My concern is that I will end up with bios that will brick the board.

    Any thoughts?

    @ Ozymandias and Sebus,
    I think 911Medic had to do a manual mod on those Proliant Server MB's in the past.
    Maybe he will help out with these.

    Just modified the HP Microserver N36L bios with MMTOOL and replaced the F0 (2.0) module with a F0 (2.1) module from an MSI megabook book. Running AMITool's verify indicates that the checksums are correct but I don't have the server yet.

    The original BIOS has SLIC 2.0, but it is NOT visible
    And so far there are no known SLP tools for Proliant servers

    But if you try to verify the original BIOS you get the checksums NOT correct (which means MMTool corrects the checksum, which might be not good)

    Hello all

    Anybody had any joy trying to a get a valid SLIC 2.1 table loaded into the BIOS of the HP Microserver N36L

    This machine is getting popular at the moment .. since HP have £100 cashback on it until the end of January .. got mine for £212 before cashback .. with the cashbacl £112 .. not bad at all for a small little server

    Anyway really would like to get W2K8 R2 onto this

    This tool is amazing, I managed to flash my P5KPL-Vm with my first modded bios without failure!
