occurs if you right-click to open a new browser window
(from the "Quick Reference Guide" window) and select "Quit"
from the "File" menu.
* In order to use the RAID configuration feature of Systems
Build and Update Utility to configure RAID and install the
operating system, the "Fast Initialization" parameter of the
RAID controller must be set to "ON." This setting is the
factory default of all RAID controllers.
* Do not insert or remove any hot-swappable drives until the
operating system is completely installed while using the
"Systems Build and Update Utility". The results may be
unpredictable and the installation may fail.
* Replication is supported on systems with multiple controllers,
provided the controllers are in an initialized state. This is
applicable to both master and target systems.
* If you configure RAID manually and use Systems Build and Update Utility
to install an operating system on a master system, then you need to
manually configure RAID on the target system as well.
* Use local accounts for creating the SMB share on Windows on which
the RPMs will reside for the network download feature.
* Systems Build and Update Utility does not support the
installation of tape or Fibre Channel drivers with the operating
system installation. You can download the drivers for these
devices from the Dell Systems Service and Diagnostics Tools on
the "Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD
or from the Dell Support website at "support.dell.com."
* The "Keyboard Type" locale option offered for a keyboard layout on
the Systems Build and Update Utility home page is for the Systems Build
And Update Utility screens navigation only. The selected keyboard layout
setting is not passed to the installed Operating System.
Even after you select any language other than English under
"Select Language" and "Keyboard Type" on the "Home" page,
the input language will be English. That is, the text
you enter in the text fields in the GUI will appear in English.
* Do not use the Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) virtual
media to run "Firmware Update" on the system. This procedure
breaks the virtual media connection, causing the firmware
update procedure to fail.
* USB keys formatted with NT File System (NTFS) or file
allocation table (FAT16) are not supported.
* Any network or Windows share or CD/DVD that you use an input
to the Repository must not contain any extra file or folder that
is not part of the Server Update Utility (SUU) content.
