NOTE: You can edit any of the settings visible in the template, but many settings are hidden
when using this option. For example there are only ten of the many BIOS settings that you can
see and edit using template but All BIOS settings can be configured so if you want to edit any
of those settings that we don’t get to see through template, you should edit them prior to
importing or uploading the file.
NOTE: The above note is applicable for Import Configuration from Reference Server, Import
from Existing Template, Select Reference Server.

NOTE: For C-Series server: Hardware monitoring is not available for DellPowerEdge C 6220 Server,
whereas it is available for iDRAC-based server. Network and BIOS configuration cannot be
performed using appliance. You need to do it manually. You should make sure that hard disk is
available as a boot device for OS installation. A single NIC should be set for PXE boot for OS
installation. The PXE boot NIC should be set as the first boot device, and the hard disk should be the
second in the boot order. This can be done through the BIOS of the server.. This should be set as
first boot device and hard disk should be set as second boot device.
Top of rack networking must be configured manually on the switches when using C-Series servers.
ASM will not do VLAN configuration for these devices. For Windows and Linux bare metal OS
installation, the first server facing port should be configured as untagged, for the PXE network. Any
other networks should be configured on other ports where workload networks are required. For
ESXi deployments both the PXE network should be configured as untagged, and the Hypervisor
Management network should be configured as tagged.
NOTE: For FX Server : FX2 Chassis is very similar to M1000E chassis. It supports four servers. It only
supports fabric A network support: M1000E Chassis supports Fabric A, Fabric B, and Fabric C. In
addition to Fabric A, FX2 supports PCI card.
