DRAC4i PE2850

[Lukas Rueegg]

hi
we had the same problems sometimes with DRAC firmware below 1.60. the  
DRAC's got lost on a regular basis. the only solution we had was to  
stop the server, unplug ALL power cables and wait for 10 minutes to  
hard reset the DRAC.

DELL confirmed the problems and fixed them in firmware 1.60.

best
lukas.
