Wakeup On Lan; Pci Expansion Cards - Dell PowerEdge 8450 Information Update

Fault-Resilient Booting
Fault-resilient booting is a system feature that provides an alert error message during
the system's power-on self-test (POST) if an error is detected. If an error condition
occurs, the system stops booting, and provides the option to resume booting or to
enter setup. The following is an example of an alert error message:
Error
XXXX BIOS does not support the current stepping for Left
Processor X
Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to setup
See your system's Installation and Troubleshooting Guide or contact Dell technical
support before pressing <F1> or <F2>.

WakeUp On LAN

WakeUp On LAN is enabled only when the system is turned on for the first
time either locally using the front panel power switch or remotely via the
Dell OpenManage™ Remote Assistant Card version 2 (DRAC 2) server management
adapter. If the system is later powered down, WakeUp On LAN remains active as
long as AC power is applied to the system.
When the system is off (powered down) and AC power is lost or the power cord is
removed, WakeUp On LAN is disabled. When AC power is restored, the system must
be manually turned on using the front panel switch (or remotely, with the DRAC 2, if
installed) to activate WakeUp On LAN.
If AC power is lost when the system is powered on and running, when AC power is
restored, the computer completely powers up and self-boots, and WakeUp On LAN is
automatically reactivated.

PCI Expansion Cards

When installing expansion cards with the Emergency Management Port (EMP)
remote console feature enabled (by pressing <F2> during the boot process to enter
the BIOS setup), option ROM space is restricted to 64 kilobytes (KB). If the remote
console feature is disabled, 80 KB of option ROM space may be used. EMP is not
presently supported on the PowerEdge 8450 system. Multiple PERC2 cards are sup-
ported in the PowerEdge 8450 system. However, the EMP remote console feature
must be disabled when any PERC2 card is present.
