NOTES FOR THE REMOTE ACCESS SERVICE
======================================================================
* This service is supported on PowerEdge 650, 700, 750, 800, 830, 840,
850, 860, 1600SC, 1650, 1750, 1800, 1850, 2600, 2650, 2800, 2850, 4600,
6600, 6650, 6800, and 6850 systems only. It enables remote access to a
server that has lost its network connection or that has become
unresponsive. In this release of Server Administrator, the Remote
Access Service uses the following Remote Access Controllers (RACs):
Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC) 4/I, DRAC 4/P, DRAC III, DRAC III/XT,
Embedded Remote Access (ERA), or Embedded Remote Access
Option (ERA/O).
* RACs also have their own CLI that is accessed through the "racadm"
command. You can add racadm commands to a batch or script file to
automate various user tasks. To limit the stress load on the managed
system and RAC, you should add "sleep" or "delay" commands of one or
two seconds between the individual racadm commands.
* Unlike DRAC 3, configuration of DRAC 4 settings is not supported in
Server Administrator. Additionally, Server Administrator performs
minimal reporting of DRAC 4 properties. For DRAC 5, a limited
amount of NIC and User settings are configurable through Server
Administrator to allow the user to connect via Out-Of-Band to the
DRAC 5 card. For full configuration and reporting of all DRAC
attributes, it is recommended to use the "racadm" command.
* After installing Internet Explorer 5.0 or later, you may notice that
the automatic configuration and proxy setting information for each
connection is separate from the same information used for the LAN
connection. If you have both a dial-up and a LAN connection at the
same time, Internet Explorer may block your access to the Internet.
This blocking occurs because each connection in Internet Explorer
5.0 uses its own automatic configuration and proxy settings. When
you try to establish a PPP connection, Internet Explorer attempts
to use the dial-up connection settings to access the Internet.
You can find additional information about this issue in article
Q818060, "Connections No Longer Use Local Area Network Automatic
Configuration and proxy settings" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB)
at "support.microsoft.com".
To correct this problem, you must apply Microsoft IE HotFix Q818060
