for better performance.

* If you issue the graceful shutdown command using SOL Proxy option 4

(Reboot and Activate Console Redirection) on a system running

Microsoft Windows 2000 with an ACPI-compliant BIOS, Windows

performs an emergency shutdown instead of a graceful shutdown.

Windows does not send WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages

to the running programs; therefore, the programs cannot notify the

user to save data and quit gracefully. This could result in data

corruption or data loss.

* Storage controllers from PERC 4 and earlier use <ctrl>+M to enter

configuration during BIOS POST. This is the same ASCII value

normally set by the <enter> key so <ctrl>+M will not react as

expected when in a SOL session during boot. Use <esc><ctrl><M> to

enter PERC 4 setup.

Alternate key strokes are provided as BIOS starts up for a number

of special keys. See the "Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management

Controller Utilities User's Guide" for the complete list.

* If you get the message "already installed" when trying to install

the IPMItool Linux .rpm file, use the --force option.

For example,

rpm -Uvh --force <rpm filename>
