Power Console Plus Restrictions

When selecting a new server in Full Access mode, you must enter the password for the
new server. You cannot access the new server if it is already being managed by a
system in Full Access mode or if Power Console Plus is already running.

You cannot change from View Only mode to Full Access mode. You must exit Power
Console Plus and then run Power Console Plus again. Choose the server, then choose
Full Access mode and enter the password when prompted.

IMPORTANT: The screen graphics in this chapter show Power Console Plus
screens with four SCSI channels. Various MegaRAID models support one,
two, three, or four SCSI channels. The screen pictures in this manual show
four SCSI channels, since this is the most comprehensive configuration. Your
MegaRAID model may not support four SCSI channels. See the MegaRAID
Hardware Guide for your model for additional information.
