NOTE:
When running a version of Onboard Administrator firmware earlier than version 3.70
with Strong Encryption mode enabled, if you update the firmware to version 3.70 or later, an
entry might be logged to the Onboard Administrator syslog indicating that the Onboard
Administrator is operating in FIPS Mode. This syslog entry ("FIPS: OA is operating in FIPS
Mode On") is incorrect and can be ignored.
