Leveraging the 'Reboot Required' filter and selecting all items in this filtered view results in the 'make compliant' job applying all non-compliant firmware components. An unexpected reboot of the target is seen as components that do require a restart are deployed to the target. The issue is only seen if selecting all objects and using the 'Reboot Required' filter. All other filters work as designed.

Dust or chemical contamination at the endface of a fiber optic LC connector or transceiver module impedes signaling. Dell engineering teams have verified cases in which a fully functional port appears to be a bad port because dirty optical connectors manifest as a port failing loop testing with acceptable power measurement levels. Cable connectors should be cleaned and when stored must be protected from dust particle or chemical contamination.
