Update: June 5, 2024:
As per Dell's updated Code Currency Guidelines, Dell has changed the minimum revision level for RCA to reflect any OE revisions which are 24 months or less than the post-GA date. This is revised from the previous value of 18 months post-GA date.

Users who want to pursue RCA for unsupported code releases should contact their local Service Manager or Services Account Manager (SAM) for escalation assistance.
