Owner's Manual

* On PowerEdge 1950, 2950 and PowerVault NX 1950 systems with
internal USB, BIOS setting configuration for internal USB Port is
possible only if User Accessible/external (UA) USB ports are set to
"All Ports On." If UA USB ports are not set to "All Ports On"
and you try to configure the BIOS setting for the internal USB port
using SYSCFG, the configuration will appear to be successful
but the changes will not take effect after the next reboot. If
UA USB ports settings are changed from "All Ports On" to
"All Ports Off" or "Only Back Ports On," the USB port will
be automatically Set to "Off" during the next reboot.
RACADM Issues:
* The "racadm gettracelog" option may cause the system to hang. You
may need to restart the system.
Operating system installation issues:
* Installation of legacy Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems
may fail due to lack of support for new hardware. You should
modify the '%post' section of "ks.cfg" to update to a newer
version of the kernel or install the drivers from this section.
* The default root password for Linux installation is "root123."
This could be changed to be encrypted in the template "ks.cfg"
provided.
* The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system installation may
fail on systems equipped with multiple RAID and/or SCSI
controllers, whether installed on the system board or in PCI
slots. This failure may occur when using "Server Setup" or
performing a manual installation. When two or more RAID or
SCSI controllers are present, install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux with only one configured RAID or SCSI controller.
Configure the other controllers after you install the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux operating system.
Instrumentation issues:
* The "/opt/dell/srvadmin" directory in the DTK ISO image should be
writable. This enables the instrumentation services to
work properly.
* The file "omreg.cfg" should be present in the "/etc/" directory
for the tools to function properly. This is applicable if DTK
is being customized to fit in an embedded Linux environment
other than the Dell-provided embedded Linux.
