Have you got the firmware document this particular HPMC ?.

[Torsten.]

Latest firmware is version 6.1 from year 1999.

Fixes between 5.6 and 6.1:

PF_CB1X0060:

- fixes LAN timeout problem when the BCH lan search command is used

- the BCH search LAN command now allows the number of retries to be
set to specific values. Two different types can be controlled: the
number of retries while searching for a server and the number of
retries during an IO transfer. These values are set by specifying a
LAN IP (all zeros means search for any available server) followed by
the search retry number and the IO retry number.

Example: sea lan.0.0.0.0.5.100 specifies a search for any
available server retrying search packets 5 times and IO packets
100 times.

- a "-5 returned by LAN entry init" is now only displayed if
a specific "search lan" is used vs a general "search". A message
suggesting that a LAN cable may be missing or not connected
will be displayed also.

PF_CB1X0058:

- supports latest version of LAN controller chipset

From Torsten's document, it doesn't look like it, HPMC isn't mentioned.  But you might as well upgrade, you don't have anything to lose.
