Owner's Manual

Issue 3
Description: If a USB flash device is connected to the system, SBUU may fail to install the operating system. To resolve the
issue, perform one of the following actions:
• Remove the USB flash device.
• In the BIOS setup, under "Boot Order," move the "USB Device" selection to the end of the list.
Issue 4
Description: The "View Hardware" feature in SBUU does not provide information on devices that are connected to the
chassis. The current listing of devices is not complete and does not include devices such as Fiber Channel cards and Dell
Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5).
Issue 5
Description: On PE1800, the "view hardware" feature in SBUU does not show the CERC SATA 2S device when it is set to ATA
mode. This is due to the current limitation of CERC SATA 2S; it has the same PCI device ID for both ATA and RAID mode.
Issue 6
Description: Use of localized special characters might cause the SBUU GUI to freeze intermittently.
Issue 7
Description: If there are multiple SAS or RAID controllers on the system, SBUU will always use the controller listed first in
the BIOS boot order list. If you want to use a particular controller for the operating system, you must go to the BIOS setup
(F2 on boot) and set up the given controller as the first boot device.
Issue 8
Description: It is not recommended to start SBUU if any of the virtual disks are in a non-optimal state. Use the RAID
controller's firmware utility (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+M, Ctrl+R, or Ctrl+C during boot) to reset the RAID controller's state. If an array
disk is removed, the firmware utility may indicate the configuration has changed. Accepting these changes on the command
line may not be enough, enter the firmware utility and reset the controller.
Issue 9
Description: On CERC ATA or CERC SATA RAID controller cards, disks that appear in "Legacy" mode will not be available for
RAID configuration in SBUU. If you wish to use any disk that is in "Legacy" mode as part of a RAID container, you must use
the RAID controller firmware utility to initialize these disks. Similarly, if all disks are in "Legacy" mode, then SBUU may fail
to configure RAID on the controller.
Issue 10
Description: The Server Setup program might fail if it runs when scrubbing is active on a RAID virtual disk.
Issue 11
Description: SBUU does not identify the boot device when PERC 4DC controller is in cluster mode and the adapter's BIOS is
disabled. This will put SBUU in an infinite "Write Disk signature" and reboot loop. Use SBUU to install the operating system
on PERC in a non-cluster mode.
