method of installation, to verify the authenticity, you must download the key from the following location: https://
linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/public_gpg3.key, and then import the key to each host with --import <key file>
before installing or upgrading to the current version of Server Administrator. Once the key is imported, you are not required

Important Notes
Notes for Server Administrator
On YX2X generation or later PowerEdge server with iDRAC7 1.30.30 and later versions, you can set the Platform Event
Destination as IPv4, IPv6, or FQDN.
User privileges
The iDRAC user privileges and attributes have changed. Therefore, you will see a difference in Server Administrator and iDRAC
user privileges and attributes. For more information on IDRAC user privileges and attributes, see latest iDRAC user guide.
Notes for Instrumentation Service
● On YX1X generation or later PowerEdge server, if conflicting BIOS settings exist while configuring BIOS setup options
through Server Administrator, the update attempt may fail at system reboot and none of the BIOS setup options may be
updated.
● For example, when you configure Embedded SATA Controller to RAID and Boot Mode to UEFI simultaneously (UEFI does not
support RAID option), the conflict prevents the BIOS configuration updates (at system reboot).
● On certain systems, user-defined thresholds set under Server Administrator become the default thresholds after uninstalling
Server Administrator.
● If you change the threshold value of a probe on certain systems, running Server Administrator, and then uninstall Server
Administrator, the changed threshold value becomes the default threshold value.
