ELOM Does Not Allow Passwords With Non-
alphanumeric Characters
Passwords for the ELOM must be alphanumeric only. A fix is planned for a later
release of the firmware.
Set Local Clock With Every SP Reset
When SP is reset, the system clock is set back to 1970/1/1 00:00. The SP clock will
not reset unless the OS is booted.
▼ Workaround
1. Log in to the ELOM web GUI.
