Hi, We have a M640 blade wich is reporting CMOS battery fault. We have changed it but the alarm is still present. I saw a procedure to clear CMOS battery on iDRAC8 but I am unable to find that option on iDRAC9. Is that option removed? Should be cleared automatically or I have to reset iDRAC maybe?

I recently purchased some rack rails. I can mount them just fine. However, only one of the two will extend. The other appears to be stuck. Is there a button I need to press to get them to extend?
