Advisories

This section contains advisories on the ExpressBuilder, System Element

Monitoring,SCO, and the BIOS Setup Utility.

ExpressBuilder

The following advisory applies to ExpressBuilder.

!If you already have an operating system installed when creating a

maintenance partition, ExpressBuilder will warn you of the existing

partition. If you want to preserve the installed operating system, do not

create the maintenance partition or the existing operating system will be

overlaid by the maintenance partition.

!ExpressBuilder EasySetup will always configure the Windows 2000 TCP/IP

Protocol IP settings to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP),

regardless of the setting specified in EasySetup.

!After installation, the Windows 2000 Device Manager may show an NEC

GEM SCSI Processor Device and/or an Unknown Device under Other

Devices. The Unknown Device is referenced on the baseboard management

controller. Both of these conditions can be cleared by installing the

ESMPRO Agent.

!The ExpressBuilder DOS ASPI driver is not supported.

4Express5800/120Mc2 System Release Notes

!The Administrator Menu in the System Information Management segment

of the Offline Maintenance Utility is not user accessible.

!ExpressBuilder operates in floppy emulation mode. Your system CD-ROM

drive is designated Drive A and your system diskette drive is Drive B. After

creating the Off-line Maintenance Utility diskette, ExpressBuilder prompts

you to remove the diskette from Drive B. At this prompt, remove the

diskette from your diskette drive.

System Element Monitoring

The following advisory applies to system element monitoring.

!Certain system elements – the disk drive cooling fans, power supply, and

power supply fans – are fully monitored only with a RAID controller

installed in the system.

!ESMPRO cannot monitor the disk drive cooling fans, power supply, and

power supply fans elements directly. However, these elements will be

supported in the next release of ESMPRO Suite.

!When a RAID controller is in use in the system, the Front Panel Power and

Fan Alarm LEDs will function correctly. If the RAID global array manager

is used, it will generate an alert if one of these elements fail. This alert can

be routed by way of ESMPRO to a central monitoring location.

BIOS Setup Utility

The following advisories apply to the BIOS Setup Utility (F2):

!General Help (F1) description states that pressing the ESC or Alt-X keys

exits the BIOS Setup Utility. Pressing either of these keys exits the current

menu and returns you to the previous menu. If you are displaying any one of

the BIOS Setup Utility top level menus, pressing either of these keys takes

you to the Exit Menu.

SCO

The following advisory applies when using SCO 5.05:

!During the installation of SCO or any time thereafter when booting SCO a

warning message may appear as follows:

WARNING: Cannot connect to APM, error 0x0036 System loaded, press

<Return> to start:

To prevent the WARNING message from appearing, boot the system to single-

user Mode. Edit the /etc/default/boot file. Add "apm.check=no" to the end of the

line indicated by the "DEFBOOTSTR=" entry.

Express5800/120Mc2 System Release Notes 5

System Hardware

The following advisory applies to the Plug and Play feature of your server's I/O

expansion boards.

!The Windows 2000 Operating System requires that your server’s PnP O/S

feature be enabled. Before installing the Windows 2000 Operating System,

run the BIOS Setup Utility as described in Chapter 3 of your User’s Guide,

to verify the PnP O/S feature is enabled. Your User’s Guide is included on

ExpressBuilder.

The following advisory applies to the USB ports on your server's external device

connectors.

!The factory standard default value of the USB ports on your server is

"Disabled". To enable them, the USB Controller feature in the Peripheral

Configuration Submenu of the BIOS Setup Utility "BIOS Setup

Configuration Settings" must be changed to "Enabled". Refer to

Chapter 3 of your User’s Guide. Your User’s Guide is included on

ExpressBuilder.
