Please follow "Secureboot Certificate Installation.PDF" for informationon adding the signing certificate to your systems key Database.
############################ Enablement Inbox OS Drivers ############################
Enablement inbox drivers have been added to some OSes for initial launch of PERC12 controllers. These drivers are for OS install only and have limited performance and controller management functionality. Management Applications such as PERCCLI2 and OpenManage will not work with these drivers. Enablement drivers can be identified with version numbers "0.255.xxx.xxx", "3.xxx.xxx.xxx", or "8.0.0.xx.0". PERC12 driver "8.xxx.xxx.xxx" should be installed as soon as possible or applied during OS install to enable full performance and management functionality of PERC12 controllers.
############################Linux Driver BSG Changes############################
Starting with Linux driver version 8.4.2.0.0, the Linux BSG interface is being used instead of IOCTL. Older PERCcli2, DUP and OMSS Utilities will not work with the new drivers. Please downloadand use latest Utilities and DUPs with this release. If downgrade to older controller firmware is needed then manual update with latest PERCcli2 should be used.If issues are seen with latest utility releases please contact DELL support
