I pulled this old message (see below) out of the archives. Did the beta 
health drivers ever materialise? I have inherited a pair of DL360s 
running Fedora Core 3 (ew) and would very much to use FreeBSD on them, 
but the noisy fan and unclean shutdown issues are of concern.

The new driver leverages portions of our Unix and Linux health drivers.  We will be making this available soon to the larger FreeBSD community as a beta test.  The driver will not be officially supported or warrantied by HP, but we will do our best to make sure it works and is useful.  I will send an email to -current to announce its availability.
