Disabled NPAR NIC partitions enabled and listed in iDRAC and operating system after template deployment Description A reference template, containing configuration changes for BIOS, NIC, and iDRAC was deployed on compute sleds in the chassis. The NIC configuration is N-PAR enabled. The first NIC partition is enabled, the second partition is enabled with FCoE, while the third and fourth partitions are disabled for A and B Fabric.
Operating system display menu and iDRAC screen cropped when chassis is connected to 17 or 19inch monitors Description When the system is set to legacy BIOS mode, the initial BIOS boot screen that is rendered with resolution 720x400@70Hz is distorted. The distortion is due to a mismatch in aspect ratio in lower-end monitors of 17 or 19 inches. Workaround Set the system to UEFI mode for the BIOS screens to display correctly.
7 Limitations 1. OME–Modular is supported only on TLS 1.2 and later. Versions earlier than 1.2 may or may not work. Also, support for earlier versions of TLS is not provided. 2. When going to the console for the first time, a blinking cursor is not displayed in the text fields. This is owing to an issue in Chrome. For details and status, see bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=740652. 3.
