If the drivers are available with the operating system, Server
Administrator will use those versions of the drivers. If the
drivers are not available with the operating system, Server
Administrator will use its precompiled modules on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux version 4. If precompiled drivers are not
available with the operating system or Server Administrator,
Server Administrator uses its Dynamic Kernel Support (DKS) feature
to build the drivers when needed. See the "Dell OpenManage
Installation and Security User's Guide" for more information about
DKS.

NOTES FOR THE STORAGE MANAGEMENT SERVICE
======================================================================
* When using the Storage Management Service, Stop the DSM SA Data
Manager Services before updating the Adaptec(R) Controllers.

NOTES FOR THE REMOTE ACCESS SERVICE
======================================================================
* This service is supported on Dell 650, 700, 750, 800, 830, 840, 850,
860, 1600SC, 1650, 1750, 1800, 1850, 2600, 2650, 2800, 2850, 4600,
6600, 6650, 6800, 6850, 6950, 2970, R200, M600, M605, R805,
and R900 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):
Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), DRAC5, 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, 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.
