Important Notes
General Notes for Operating Systems
For operating systems such as ESX and Windows 2008 Server, where the installation is not fully
automated, the native Graphical User Installation tool of the operating system installation media is used.
Hence, setting date and time zone in the SBUU setup page is not applied. The date and time must be set
manually after the operating system is installed.
To use the RAID configuration feature of SBUU 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
for all RAID controllers.
Do not insert or remove any hot-swappable drives until the operating system is completely installed
using SBUU. 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. It is applicable to both master and target systems.
If you configure RAID manually and use SBUU to install an operating system on a master system, then
manually configure RAID on the target system as well.
Use local accounts for creating the SMB share on Windows on which the RPMs reside for the network
download feature.
SBUU does not support the installation of Tape or Fiber 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 SBUU Home page is only for the
SBUU pages navigation. The selected keyboard layout setting is not passed to the installed Operating
System.
In the Firmware Update page, if the user selects Refresh USB devices, the user must wait for the devices
to be listed, before clicking any other links on the page or a popup appears informing that no devices
could be found,.
USB keys formatted with New Technology File System (NTFS) or File Allocation Table (FAT16) are not
supported.
