Table 1-7 lists the updated information on the default Failsafe Baud Rate.
Operating System Information
Enumeration of NICs
Linux operating system versions that use the udev kernel device manager
enumerate the NICs differently than earlier Linux versions that used the
devfs device manager. Although this does not affect system functionality,
when using Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux
®
(version 4 or version 5) or SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10 operating systems, the NICs are enumerated
in reverse: NIC1 is configured as eth1 instead of eth0, and NIC2 is configured
as eth0 instead of eth1. For information on how to change the default device
enumerations, see the “Network Interface Card Naming” white paper
available at linux.dell.com.
TPM Clear
(No default)
NOTICE:
Clearing the TPM causes loss of all
encryption keys in the TPM. This prevents booting to
the operating system and results in loss of data if the
encryption keys cannot be restored. Be sure to back
up the TPM keys prior to enabling this option.
When set to Yes, all the contents of the TPM are cleared.
NOTE:
This field is read-only when TPM Security is set
to Off.
