Owner's Manual
In the Power section, the Setup Password Override checkbox is not selected if you configure the BIOS
or iDRAC6 entry with Setup Password Override checkbox, export the configurations, import the same
configurations, and view or edit the imported configurations.
Uncertified array disks, if present in the system, are displayed in the SBUU RAID configuration GUI but
are not used while creating RAID using configuration scripts.
On the Hardware Config screen, the options shown in SBUU for BIOS tokens in the BIOS page, are a
superset. The default values do not indicate the current status of the tokens. If you select an option
that is not supported in the current system, the Hardware scripts fail. You must select a value that is
applicable on the current system.
Any operations through Systems Build and Update Utility are not allowed on systems with Non-RAID
configurations.
Notes for Windows Operating Systems
If you are using the SBUU iso image downloaded from support.dell.com and installing Microsoft
Windows 2008, you must 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 for SBUU,
when prompted.
During Windows installation, the system automatically logs on to finish the post-installation tasks and
then automatically logs out. It is recommended that you do not perform any task until the system has
automatically logged out. The installation might end abnormally if it is interrupted.
If you enable "Console Redirection":
- A dialog box displays that an Expanded Memory Support (EMS) connection has been
discovered during the operating system installation.
- You enter the organization name and computer name, an error message displays that
"unattend.txt" is incomplete and prompts you to enter the username. Enter the username to
continue with the unattended setup operation.
In the advanced Enter OS Information screen, enter all the IP addresses for the Trap Destination field
separated by commas. If you enter trailing commas, the installation stops when the Windows Setup
program runs.
If you install Windows Server 2003 Web Edition using Dell Systems Build Update Utility, the Internet
Information Server (IIS) is installed by default. You must choose New Technology File System (NTFS) to
ensure correct installation of all IIS components. If your platform supports Windows HPC 2008 or
Windows HPC 2008 R2 editions, select Windows 2008 (64 bit) and Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit)
respectively on the Configure Server OS Installation page and use the appropriate Windows media
when prompted.
Notes for the Tool to Create Bootable USB
The following commands/rpm should be installed for the tool to work:
- udevinfo, mtools, parted (minimum version required is 1.6.25.1), grub-install (grub) and lsusb.
By default, the boot to hard disk option is configured to boot to the second partition of the first hard
disk of primary controller master (hd0,1). If the OS is installed in another disk or partitions, the GRUB
boot entry must be edited accordingly. For details, see the GRUB manual.
