The updated drivers on the Dell Support website include the latest script file, which
prevents future erroneous error messages by ensuring that the drivers for the embedded
SCSI controller are placed in the correct location.
Run the script file after installing the operating system. See the readme file included with
the updated drivers for more information about running the script file.
COM2 Availability
COM2 circuitry exists on the system board, but it is reserved for use by an optional ERA/O
controller. Although COM2 may be reported as available under certain operating systems,
COM1 is the only serial port that is available on your system.
Teamed NIC Addresses With Novell
NetWare 6.0
When two or more Gigabit Ethernet Channel or 802.3ad NICs are set up as a team when
running the Novell NetWare 6.0 operating system, the team is assigned a single media
access control (MAC) address that identifies the team to the network. The Broadcom
Advanced Server program driver that is used to form the team displays the MAC address as
FFFFFFFFFFFF rather than displaying the correct address of the team.
This issue does not affect the functionality of the team, since the team address is available
to the network.
Installing a Processor
Always use the new heat sink that ships with a processor upgrade kit. Thermal interface
grease on the underside of the heat sink is critical to maintaining optimum contact between
the heat sink and the processor. Used or older heat sinks may not have enough grease
remaining on it to ensure proper contact.
Installing or Removing a ROMB Backup
Battery
If an ERA/O controller is installed under the ROMB backup battery, remove the SCSI
backplane board before removing or installing the battery, and replace the SCSI backplane
board after removing or installing the battery.
