Power Supply Removal Updates
The I/O riser with 10G network port requires a minimum of two power
supplies to provide standby power to the system. If you remove AC power
cables from the system while DC power is on, the system may momentarily
operate below the minimum power supply requirement. The BMC SEL may
record VR2/IO riser power not good errors and/or PCIe fatal errors when the
system AC power input falls below the minimum requirement.
NOTE: These errors do not affect the system functionality.
To prevent these errors, ensure the following:
•The system operates with a minimum of two power supply units.
•Turn off the system before removing or connecting AC power cables to the
system.
System Limitations With an Optional 10 GbE I/O
Riser
The 10 GbE I/O riser provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports using a Broadcom
57711 controller in addition to two 1 GbE ports. The following are the
limitations with the 10 GbE I/O riser:
•To ensure system power redundancy, the 10 GbE I/O riser requires all four
power supplies to be connected to the AC power source. The system power
becomes non-redundant if one of the power supplies is removed.
CAUTION: A power supply failure or removal of another power supply after the
system power becomes non-redundant can lead to a system failure and result in
loss of data.
•Wake On LAN (WOL) is not supported on the 10 Gb
Broadcom 57711 design limitations. However, WOL is supported on the
two 1
GbE ports available on the riser.

Microsoft Updates
The following issues are documented on the Microsoft Help and Support
website at support.microsoft.com:
•Systems running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008
cannot be set to hibernation if they have more than 4 GB of memory
installed. For more information about enabling hibernation on systems
with more than 4 GB of memory, see the knowledge base article KB888575
at
microsoft.com
•Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 cannot be installed or run on systems
with 1 TB of system memory. This issue may occur either in Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) or in legacy BIOS modes. For more
information, see the knowledge base article KB980598
•Systems running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 do not support iSCSI
boot when they have an SD card installed in the internal SD module. In
addition, iSCSI boot does not work when an external USB storage device is
plugged into the system. For more information, see the knowledge base
article KB968410 at

4Information Update
Flash Memory
The VFlash media provided by Dell is not partitioned to support the iDRAC6
Enterprise virtual flash feature. When you use the virtual flash feature for the
first time, you are prompted to format the media using the iDRAC GUI.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 Address Limitation
With 1 TB (When Memory RAS Mode is Not Used)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 has an address limitation with 1 TB of system
memory. To install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4, use the mem=1024G boot
time switch. The system does not boot to the operating system unless a boot
time switch mem=1024G is used. For more information, see the knowledge
base article at kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-25412.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (x64)
Edition With SP2 Limitation With 1 TB System
Memory (When Memory RAS Mode is Not Used)
The system does not boot to the operating system with 1 TB of system
memory. To resolve this issue, set the memory RAS mode to sparing or mirror.
After installing the operating system, add a boot time switch mem=1046528
or /burnmemory=2048 in the boot.ini file before disabling the RAS mode
for subsequent boots.
MAC Address Labels
For security reasons, the embedded NIC and iDRAC6 Enterprise MAC
address labels provided with your system cannot be affixed after they have
been removed.
NOTE: The labels are located on the system identification panel on the front of the
system.
Information Update5
System Limitations With an Optional PCIe Riser
The PCIe riser expands the number of PCIe expansion slots available in the
system to 10. Due to the limitation of 64 KB I/O address space on the Intel
IA32 architecture and the I/O granularity of 4 KB set by the PCI bridge
specification, you can exceed the maximum available I/O resources if you
populate the slots with adapters which require more than 4 KB of I/O address
space. The system does not complete POST if 64 KB I/O address space is
exceeded. For more information on supported adapters, see the Dell PowerEdge R910 Hardware Owner's Manual at support.dell.com/manuals .
Dell Update Package Information
During the Dell Update Package (DUP) installation process, you may see
messages related to the following:
•Request for system reboot before the DUP installation is complete
•Windows hardware detection
•Windows hardware configuration problem
•Re-enumeration of VFlash and momentary drive letter changes in
Windows
It is recommended that you disable the OS Watchdog Timer in the system
BIOS when running the BIOS DUP. The system may reboot in the middle of
an update and result in corrupted flash if:
•The
•The timer expires (if set too short)
OS Watchdog Timer
in the system BIOS is enabled
NIC Teaming
The system has Broadcom embedded NICs that can be teamed with other
vendors such as Intel. It is recommended that you use Broadcom teaming
driver.
6Information Update
Dell PERC H800 Storage Adapter Slot Limitation
(With PERC H700i as the Internal Storage
Controller)
The system supports up to two PERC H800 adapters. There is no slot
limitation when only one H800 adapter is installed. However, when you install
two H800 adapters in a system with a PERC H700i internal storage adapter,
one of the H800 adapters must be installed in slot 7 (x16 Gen 2 slot). If you
run embedded system diagnostics without an H800 adapter installed in slot 7,
a software error occurs.
Under the same condition, if you enable Collect System Inventory on Restart
(CSIOR), you may not be able to boot to the operating system. You can
enable/disable CSIOR through the iDRAC Configuration Utility by pressing
<Ctrl><E> during boot up. For more information, see the iDRAC User’s Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.

Mises à jour relatives au retrait des blocs
d'alimentation
La carte de montage d'E/S dotée d'un port réseau 10G nécessite au moins
deux blocs d'alimentation pour l'alimentation de veille du système. Si vous
retirez du système les câbles d'alimentation en CA lorsque le système est
alimenté en CC, celui-ci peut fonctionner temporairement en dessous du
niveau d'alimentation minimal requis. Le journal des événements système
(SEL) du contrôleur BMC peut enregistrer des erreurs d'alimentation de la
carte de montage VR2/ES et/ou des erreurs fatales PCIe lorsque
l'alimentation en CA du système est inférieure au minimal requis.
REMARQUE : ces erreurs n'ont pas d'incidence sur le fonctionnement du système.
Pour éviter ces erreurs, vérifiez les points suivants :
•Le système fonctionne avec au moins deux blocs d'alimentation.
•Éteignez le système avant de retirer ou de connecter ses câbles
d'alimentation en CA.
Limitations du système avec carte de
montage
La carte de montage E/S de 10 GbE offre deux ports SFP+ 10 Go utilisant un
contrôleur Broadcom 57711 et deux ports 1 GbE. Les limitations avec la carte
de montage E/S 10 GbE sont les suivantes :
•Afin d'assurer la redondance de l'alimentation du système, la carte
nécessite le branchement des quatre blocs d'alimentation à la source
de
si l'un des blocs d'alimentation est retiré.
PRÉCAUTION : une panne d'alimentation ou le retrait d'un autre bloc
d'alimentation après que l'alimentation du système soit devenue non redondante
peut entraîner une panne du système et conduire à la perte de données.
•La fonction WOL (Wake On LAN, réveil par le réseau) n'est pas prise en
charge sur les ports
contrôleur Broadcom 57711. Cependant, la fonction est prise en charge sur
les deux ports 1
E/S de 10 GbE en option
courant alternatif. L'alimentation du système devient non redondante

10 Go à cause de limitations de conception du
GbE disponibles sur la carte de montage.
