Hi Dave,

Thanks for the update.

All these are true.

warm - shutdown -r now
cold - from the power button (iDRACs are not configured yet).

bce is compiled into the kernel (tested with GENERIC kernel from 8-RC2 
as well as 7.1 with the 7.2 driver plus the split header patch).

For the record we also have not been able to reproduce the issue on the 
R710 only the R610.
