SYSCFG Issues
Setup passwords and system passwords cannot be cleared using DTK.
The Demand-based Power Management (DBPM) option does not work on
PowerEdge 1855 systems with BIOS versions earlier than A05.
On PowerEdge 1950, 2950, and PowerVault NX 1950 systems with internal
USB, you can configure BIOS settings for internal USB Port only if the
User Accessible/external (UA) USB ports are set to All Ports On. If the UA
USB ports are not set to All Ports On and you try to configure BIOS
setting for the internal USB port using SYSCFG, the configuration will
appear to be successful but the changes will not take effect after the next
reboot. If you set the UA USB port from All Ports On to All Ports Off or
Only Back Ports On, the USB port will be automatically Set to Off during
the next reboot.
