Release Notes
* Enabling remote console redirection from managed node using “racadm
localConRedirDisable 0” command can return a failure status under
some conditions. This error message is not correct and the actual
command works correctly and enables the console redirection feature.
* When the servers with DRAC 5 have a power supply supporting PM-Bus,
the voltage page on DRAC 5 shows the voltage reading of power supply
as N/A.
* DRAC stops DHCP requests if the traffic is > 6000frames/sec with 512
size. DRAC stops responses for local racadm and other IPMI comm
for > 9000Frames/sec.

KNOWN ISSUES FOR DRAC 5 WITH FIRMWARE UPDATE
######################################################################
* Network traffic may cause the firmware update to time-out. If the
firmware download procedure exceeds 15 minutes, the DRAC 5 will
time out, 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 DISABLING LOCAL VIDEO
######################################################################
* If the video is turned OFF locally on the server, the LCD displays
a message indicating the video is OFF. However, if the baseboard
management controller (BMC) is reset or there is a BMC firmware
update, the LCD message will not be displayed.
The LCD "Video OFF" message will only be displayed if the Video is
turned ON and turned OFF again.

install properly. To fix this issue, download "usbstor.sys"
from the Microsoft Support website at "support.microsoft.com" and
