* If you access DRAC 5 GUI using Internet Explorer and click "Save As"
in one of the GUI pages, the browser may open the file within the
Web browser and avoid prompting you to save the file to your
system’s hard drive. To resolve this issue, download the Cumulative
Security Update for Internet Explorer located on the Microsoft
Support website at support.microsoft.com.

KNOWN ISSUES FOR DRAC 5 WITH FIRMWARE UPDATE
######################################################################
* Network traffic maycause the firmware update to timeout. If the
firmware download procedure exceeds 15 minutes, the DRAC will
timeout, cancel the firmware download procedure, reset, and then
return to normal operation.. To work around this issue, transfer the
firmware flash image to a local drive on the server. Using Console
Redirection, connect to the remote system and install the firmware
locally using local racadm.

KNOWN ISSUES FOR DRAC 5 WITH VIRTUAL MEDIA
######################################################################
* Virtual Media may not function properly on Windows operating system
clients that are configured with Internet Explorer Enhanced Security.
To resolve this issue, see your Microsoft operating system
documentation or contact your administrator.
* If you use Virtual Media and the Windows 2000 operating system CD to
install Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, your system may momentarily
lose its connection to the CD drive during the installation procedure,
and the operating system may fail to install properly. To fix this
issue, download "usbstor.sys" from the Microsoft Support website at
support.microsoft.com and run the program only on your systems that
experience this issue. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB823086
for more information.
* If Virtual Flash is enabled and does not contain a valid image
(for example the virtual flash contains a corrupted or random
image), you may not be able to install Windows 2000 locally or
remotely. To fix this issue, install a valid image on Virtual Flash
or disable Virtual Flash if it will not be used during the
installation procedure.
* Installing network and chipset drivers on the server causes the
Virtual Media connection to drop when configured in the Shared-NIC
mode. Installing the network or chipset drivers causes the LOM to
reset, which in turn causes network packets to timeout and
the Virtual Media connection to timeout and drop. To work around
this issue, copy the drivers from your virtual drive to the server’s
local hard drive. To prevent a dropped Virtual Media connection
from interfering with your driver installation procedure, start the
driver installation directly from the server.
