* In Internet Explorer Version 6, the log data may not display,
leaving only the message, "Loading Chassis Event Log..." shown .
To address this, go to Advanced Settings/Security and make sure the
option, "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" is
NOT checked.
* In Internet Explorer Version 6, if the security setting is set to
restricted, the CMC User Interface on the Alert Management pages for
Email Alerts and SNMP Traps will pop up a Security Information message
stating that the page contains both secure and non secure items and
will ask if you want to continue. Please select "Yes". This is because
the Internet Explorer Version 6 does not allow the use of hidden IFRAMES
on secure (SSL) pages. (183022)

KNOWN ISSUES FOR CMC
######################################################################
* RACADM CLI based command line tool uses TFTP to transfer image files
for all firmware updates. Only the default port for TFTP (69) is
supported for transfers with version 1.0. (157754)
* Clearing the CMC Log can take a long time. Please allow up to
one (1) minute for this operation to complete.(152860)
* If the CMC is on a private network without access to the Internet
and you are using Internet Explorer 6 SP 2 or Internet Explorer 7,
you may experience delays of up to 30 seconds when using remote
RACADM commands. (161019)
* In the CMC User Interface, under Chassis -> Network/Security tab->
Network subtab, If the network speed is set to 1GB to match your
network environment then CMC will revert to Auto Negotiation internally
to determine the network speed and Duplex Mode. It will not use the
values set.(180871)
* Using the RACADM command line utility, setting the network speed to 1GB
will cause the CMC to revert to Auto Negotiation internally to determine
the network speed and Duplex Mode. (180873)
For Example, this will be ignored and Auto Negotiation will be attempted.

* Some USB-to-serial adapters have been found to generate a large number of
spurious interrupts when plugged in. If the adapter is connected to
the CMC's serial port when this happens, the CMC can become overloaded
when attempting to service these interrupts and may reboot. This problem is
exacerbated when the serial cable is very long, causing voltage levels to
drop and noise on the serial line to increase. To avoid this issue, Dell
recommends first connecting the USB-to-serial adapter into the USB port,
before connecting to the CMC. Dell also recommends disconnecting
the adapter from the CMC before rebooting or performing other power
management functions on a system that is attached to the CMC. (180373)
