Dell Feature Cards may contain more than one feature. After any feature included on a Dell Feature Card has been activated on a chassis, any other features that may be included on that Dell Feature Card cannot be activated on a different chassis. In this case, the racadm feature -s command displays the following message for the affected features: 
ERROR: One or more features on the SD card are active on another chassis
