Installing iDRAC Service Module when System
Configuration Lock Down Mode is enabled in iDRAC
When the System Configuration Lock Down mode feature is enabled through iDRAC, no configuration operations can be
performed for iSM. All the features that were enabled before the System Configuration Lock Down mode feature was turned on
continue to be enabled. If iSM is installed after the System Configuration Lock Down mode feature is enabled, then only the iSM
features that were enabled earlier are available for the users. Whenever the System Configuration Lock Down mode feature is
turned off in iDRAC, then all the configuration operations can be performed.
