* Using the RACADM command line utility to set the network speed to
1GB, will cause the CMC to revert to Auto Negotiation internally to
determine the network speed and Duplex Mode. (180873)
For Example, the following command will be ignored and Auto Negotiation
will be attempted:
racadm setniccfg -k 1000 full
* Some USB-to-serial adapters can generate a large number of
spurious interrupts when plugged in. If the adapter is connected to
the CMC's serial port when this happens, the CMC can become
overloaded when attempting to service these interrupts and may reboot. This
problem is exacerbated when the serial cable is very long, causing voltage
levels to drop and noise on the serial line to increase. To avoid this issue,
Dell recommends first connecting the USB-to-serial adapter into the USB
port, before connecting to the CMC. Dell also recommends disconnecting
the adapter from the CMC before rebooting or performing other power
management functions on a system that is attached to the CMC.

* The "connect" to server command enables the user to access the
server's serial port through CMC's serial port. After this connection the user
will be able to see the server's console redirection through CMC's
serial port. The following are the prerequisites for this feature:
1. The server should be powered on.
2. Serial redirection must be enabled in the servers BIOS Setup.
3. Not all keys will work, so the user has to provide appropriate
escape sequences for "CTRL+ALT+DEL" etc. The initial
redirection screen displays the necessary escape sequences.

* If you setup Active Directory (AD) on the CMC using extended schema
and the built-in Administrator privilege object and then attempt to login to
the CMC User Interface using this AD account, after successful AD login, the
user name and privilege level displayed on the right hand side of the User
Interface below the "Log out" link is as a custom user rather than as the
privilege as created on the AD side (example: Administrator, power
user). (183449)
* If you attempt to set the server slot name to a name greater than 15 characters
(unsupported and documented in the CMC User's Guide) using the RACADM
command line utility, then you will get the following generic error message:
"ERROR: The specified object value is not valid". (181364)
* If you attempt to set the DNS CMC Name or DNS Domain Name
without the proper rules (Rules: start with an alphabetic character
(a-z, A-Z) and follow by an alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) or a valid symbol
(such as -)) using the RACADM command line utility, then the utility will
display the following non-specific error message:
"ERROR: Unable to perform requested operation". Enter valid values for
the DNS names. (173204)
* If a firmware update operation is attempted using the CMC User
Interface that uses an invalid image file that is very small (few bytes),
