Information Update

Installing an Internal USB Memory Key

The USB memory key can be used as a boot device, security key, or mass storage device. To use the internal USB connector, the Internal USB Port option must be enabled in the Integrated Devices screen of the System Setup program.

To boot from the USB memory key, you must configure the USB memory key with a boot image and then specify the USB memory key in the boot sequence in the System Setup program. See "Integrated Devices Screen"

in your

on the USB memory key, see the user documentation that accompanied the USB memory key.

WARNING: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.

You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.

NOTE: To avoid interference with other components, the maximum allowable

dimensions of the USB key are 24 mm (0.94 in) wide x 79 mm (3.11 in) long x 8.6 mm (0.33 in) high.

Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

Open the system. See "Removing and Installing the Top Cover" in your

Added Support for 8-GB Memory Modules

Your Dell™ PowerEdge™ R900 system now supports the following 8-GB memory configurations:

• 32 GB — 4 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

• 64 GB — 8 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

NOTE: If 64 GB of memory is installed, the system will only recognize

and display 63.75 GB during POST.

• 128 GB — 16 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

• 256 GB — 32 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

NOTE: Prior to upgrading your system, verify that the latest system BIOS version is

on your system. Loading the latest BIOS version from support.dell.com will ensure that your system is fully supported.

NOTE: Some operating systems cannot support more than 4 GB of physical

memory. For more information on memory support requirements and restrictions, refer to the operating system documentation that ships with your system.

4 Information Update

BMC and DRAC5 Firmware Version Requirements

When upgrading either the BMC or the DRAC5, you must update the firmware for both components to ensure full functionality and compatibility.

For example, the power reduction feature of the DRAC5 version 1.40 firmware works only when BMC 2.27 or higher is also installed. If the BMC and DRAC firmware are incompatible—BMC 2.27 installed with DRAC5 version 1.33 or BMC 1.79 installed with DRAC5 version 1.40—the power reduction feature may not function correctly.

Back Cooling Fans

Systems manufactured after September 2008 no longer include the four back cooling fans installed in earlier systems. Therefore, BMC version 2.27 does not recognize the presence of back fans. The back fans will still run in older systems; however, from a system perspective, the fans do not exist and are not monitored. As a result, if the back fans fail, the SEL, server management software, and remote access card will not log the error. This change does not compromise the standard hot plug and redundancy features of the front fans.

New LCD Error Codes

The following LCD error codes have been added for your system. For a complete list of error codes, see "About Your System" in your Hardware Owner’s Manual.

System Board Replacement - Safeguarding Encrypted Data

On systems using an operating system that supports the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and related encryption programs, you can use these features to secure the contents of the hard drive(s).

If you are using the TPM with an encryption program, you may be prompted to create a recovery key during system or program setup. Be sure to create and safely store this recovery key. If you ever need to replace the system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system or program, before you can access the encrypted data on your hard drive(s).
