* The values configured in the multi-sys-config.csv file will be
applied only during execution. Only those options are applied that
are shown during configuration time. However, options that are not
shown during configuration, but are part of multi-sys-config.csv file
will be ignored. Note: If there is any overlap in the settings
between Configuration GUI and multi-sys-config.csv file, then
settings in multi-sys-config.csv file will override those made in
the GUI.
* The installation times for different versions of the Windows Server
2008 operating system will vary considerably. This is because of the
differences in the software and drivers utilized in different
versions of the Windows Server 2008 operating systems and the
capabilities of the installation platform. On the "Installing
Windows" screen, the "Completing installation" step, where the
drivers are installed, may take considerable time to complete.
* If you configure the BIOS or iDRAC6 entry with "Setup Password
Override" checkbox under "Power" Section and then you Export the
configurations and then import the same configuration and view/Edit
the imported configuration.
User will see the 'Setup Password Override' checkbox is not checked.
* Uncertified array disks, if present in the system, are displayed in the
SBUU RAID configuration GUI but are not used when creating RAID using
configuration scripts.
* Inactive disks, if present in the system, are displayed in the
SBUU RAID configuration GUI but are not used when creating RAID using
configuration scripts.
* The options shown in SBUU for BIOS tokens in the BIOS page in the
Hardware Config screen are a superset. The default values do not
reflect the current status of the tokens. If the user selects an
option which is not supported in the current system, applying
Hardware Scripts will fail. User should select a value that
is applicable on the current system.

======================================================================
* If you are using the SBUU iso image downloaded from the support site at
support.dell.com and installing Microsoft Windows 2008, you need to
download Windows OS Install Support Pack from the support site. Create
your own optical media from the Windows OS Install Support pack and
make it available to SBUU when prompted.
* During Windows installation, the system will automatically log on
to finish the post-installation tasks and will then automatically log
out. It is recommended that you do not perform any task until the
system has automatically logged out. Installation might end
abnormally if the installation process is interrupted.
