Known issues  
Known issues  
The following are known issues on the Dell Precision 530:  
The embedded video chipset does not support Sidewinder's local graphical user interface (GUI). Use the  
Sidewinder GUI remotely from a Windows workstation.  
In the Dell Perc 3/DC Raid controller BIOS, verify the Adapter Emulation is set to: Mass Storage.  
Sidewinder will fail to detect a block size during the initial software load if the Adapter Emulation is not set.
