Release Notes

• During POST, if the system displays cable detect message: "CBL0001: Backplane 0 power cable
disconnected", you must check all the backplane cables as this message is not limited to Backplane 0 only.
•
Do not reboot the host while RAID rebuild is in-progress. If the host is reset, IDSDM is also reset.
•
On certain iDRAC versions, creating vFlash partition and downloading DUP images may take a little longer
than usual due to updated open source packages.
• When using Auto Config, the config XML filename must be specified in the DHCP server using the -f
<filename> flag.
