Functionality
=============
1. The installer for the Windows version of the application is not 
localized; the user interface, online help, and user guide are localized.

2. The login and password combination used for Dell SAS RAID 
Storage Manager is the same as the administrator/root login for
the operating system on the machine. Note that this is not the 
network login (if the machine is connected to a network), 
but it is the administrative login and password for the local machine.

Known Issues
============
When logging into Dell SAS RAID Storage Manager, if an invalid,
excessively long user name is used there is a possibility that this 
will cause the application to hang. To resolve this the java session 
needs to be terminated and the application needs to be restarted.

Error Codes
===========
These are late additions to the error codes listed in the users guide:

1. 0x821a - This error code indicates that an operation has failed 
due to a SMART type error on the disk drive.
