 Following an uninstallation, it may be necessary to reboot the system for the
uninstallation to complete.
 On some Dell systems, the Processor Logical Processor (HyperThreading) setting in the
DCIM_BIOSEnumeration class displays ‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled’ even if the installed
processor does not support hyperthreading technology.
 In this case, changes to the Processor Logical Processor (HyperThreading) setting may
toggle the multi-core capability on and off, rather than hyperthreading.
 On some Dell systems, the Multiple CPU Cores setting in the DCIM_BIOSEnumeration
class displays ‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled’ even if the installed processor does not support
multi-core technology. In this case, changes to the multiple CPU cores are ineffective.
 Change the auditing object access audit policy to enable auditing for the desired
namespace in Windows Vista. For instructions about enabling auditing, see the Microsoft
article: "Access to WMI Namespaces" at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/Aa822575.aspx. For instructions about enabling the WMI logging, see the
Microsoft article "WMI log Files" at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/Aa394564.aspx
 For local users, if the User Account Control (UAC) is turned on, only the built-in local
Administrator account can access the DCIM\SYSMAN namespace. For remote users, if
UAC is turned on and the remote system is part of a domain, use a domain account that is
in the local Administrators group of the remote computer, to access the DCIM\SYSMAN
namespace of the target computer. For more information, see the Microsoft article "User
Account Control and WMI" at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa826699.aspx
 An operation that sets or verifies a BIOS password may pause the operating system for up
to five seconds.
 Dell Command | Monitor creates NT Event Log entries referring to ‘System
Administrator’. This is a name for a low level component of Dell Command | Monitor
that is necessary for operation.
 To install and operate Dell Command | Monitor, .NET Framework 4.0 or later is required
on Windows operating systems.
 For systems configured as RAID through Intel Rapid Storage Technology, if the RAID is
in ‘verify and fix’ state, DC | M does not create instances of DCIM_PhysicalDiskView
and DCIM_VirtualDiskView. The ‘verify and fix’ is a transition state and the RAID
volume is engaged for handling the corresponding commands.
 In silent mode (unattended) of installation, the system may restart itself.
