 After that, RDMA will be enabled in macOS and exo will take care of the rest.
 
+**Important Caveats**
+
+1. Devices that wish to be part of an RDMA cluster must be connected to all other devices in the cluster.
+2. The cables must support TB5.
+3. On a Mac Studio, you cannot use the Thunderbolt 5 port next to the Ethernet port.
+4. If running from source, please use the script found at `tmp/set_rdma_network_config.sh`, which will disable Thunderbolt Bridge and set dhcp on each RDMA port.
+5. RDMA ports may be unable to discover each other on different versions of MacOS. Please ensure that OS versions match exactly (even beta version numbers) on all devices.
