When a Northstar PCIe card is installed, the BIOS might read the MAC address of the card instead of the MAC address of the motherboard.

When configuring a system for RAID in the system BIOS, the Intel RAID utility screen that lets users access the utility might flash too quickly on the screen, causing users to miss which keys to select in order to enter the utility.

If this occurs, select Ctrl + I after the initial POST screen when the system performs the memory test.

When the serial port is switched from the host console to the SP console, the SP console login prompt changes to all CAPS. All further characters that are typed at the console are entered as CAPS.

Select Ctrl + C to return to a normal login prompt.

If the SP and BIOS firmware is corrupted and then recovered, the SP and BIOS time will not match.

Manually update the SP and BIOS date and time, or configure ILOM to use a network time protocol (NTP) server.

Using /SP/Bootlist to control the boot order through ILOM, the BIOS will only boot from the first hard disk drive (HD) listed.

If you need to boot from another HD listed in the boot order, change the HD to the primary boot disk in the BIOS boot order list.

After loading Optimal Default Values, the Selectable De-Emphasis value is 6 dB and not 3.5 dB

All supported versions of operating systems

Access the BIOS Setup Utility > Integrated Devices screen and change the Selectable De-emphasis value to 3.5 dB
