internal USB device that may initially be assigned the drive letter C:
during Windows 2003 Server Setup. Before proceeding, please refer to
the USC User Guide or the Microsoft support article KB896536 for
appropriate installation steps to ensure that your operating system
is properly installed to drive letter C:.
If the boot mode is set to UEFI in BIOS (F2 setup) and if you launch System
Services (F10) and Deploy OS, the installation might fail or you may not
be able to boot to the OS after the installation. Always ensure boot mode
is set to BIOS in F2 setup before launching USC and deploying the OS.
You may see a no optical device found error if you have a bad DVD/CD in
the optical drive. This error does not mean that there are no optical
devices on the system. If you remove the bad media, then this error
will go away.
For RedHat Enterprise Linux version 4.8 operating system, you may need
to install kernel source before installing the drivers present in OEMDRV.
For RAID Configuration and Platform Updates, PERC 6.1 Firmware or above
is required.
To maintain compatibility with other iDRAC configuration tools, it is
recommended that only digits (0-9), alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z) and hyphen (-)
characters be used when entering a "Name" or "Password" string.
When entering a "Domain Name", such as 'x123.com', a period (.)
character is also permissible.
When attempting a Platform Update via an FTP server, specifying a valid proxy
server but selecting an invalid proxy type will cause USC to halt for a long
period (possibly over 30 minutes) before it returns to normal operation.
USC does not support the update or rollback options of PERC5/E Adapter for
External Storage or SAS5iR Adapter for tape.
If a floppy drive is attached to the system when the USC is used to deploy a
Windows 2003 Server operating system, error popup messages will be displayed,
and many required device drivers such as NIC, video, and chipset drivers will
not be installed, but the storage device drivers will be installed. Do not
attach floppy devices before using the USC to deploy a Windows 2003 Server
operating system.
If you see this error message "Unable to find a boot device on which to
install the operating system. Verify boot disk availability." and if you
have a USB key plugged in to the system after booting to USC, please remove
the USB key before deploying the operating system.
IMPORTANT: If you are updating iDRAC firmware using a tool other than USC,
do not run USC during the firmware update because doing so will result in
unknown behavior. After the firmware is successfully updated, you can
safely use USC.
Note: If the iDRAC firmware update is interrupted for any reason, you may
be required to wait for up to 30 minutes before you can attempt
