S2600CP2 - On losing PSU power, it won't post, except after a CMOS flash, even on a clean shutdown from OS - Feature or known issues and how to change if its a feature?

I have two S2600CP2 boards, identical setups with 2670s.

They both post when have cleared CMOS via the jumper and a boot-and-wait.

They have both had CentOS installled and report all fine with CPUs and Memory and I ran "stress -c 256 -m 256" for 5 minutes and ran i7z to monitor temps and they are fine.

Whole board has adequate power and cooling.

Both boards have fresh CR2032 batteries and newest BIOS versions.

Issue is:

- On both boards, because I am still experimenting with a HW setup, they are not cased yet but on an anti-static testbench and everything there works fine and they are only touched with a grounding wire and as before work fine when "freshly CMOS booted" OR they have continous power from the PSU on reboots.

- When I then turn them off in a safe position like on a prompt or not in the middle of something like the BIOS or so, I get a quiet dual green light "failure to post" but with no ambers on.

Interrim, testbench solution,

- I then turn it off again on the PSU button. I wait 5 sec for everything to be safely turned off, before flipping the PSU button on again (every PSU on-off-on)

- Move the CMOS jumper to "clear" (2-3) and boot again to a "quiet failpost" (on purpose because it just clears the CMOS and resets the BIOS), where the green light on the CPU2 side of the board next to the blinking blue light goes out for 10 sec when the blue blink goes away and then comes back on (indicating CMOS cleared) and I turn off the PSU again.

- Then turn it on and it posts and gets into the BIOS or OS just fine and resumes operations. I usually go by the BIOS and check for boot target no 1 is the SSD for the OS though.

Conclusion:

- While there is a solution to this problem (move the jumper and triple boot over the course of about 90-120 seconds) or mount it in a case and never turn off the PSU (which I intend to do when done testing), ...

- ... I would still like to know if there is a way for the BIOS to stop this behavior and just post or for it to reset itself if it posts badly or SOMETHING to avoid busting fingertips on moving that jumper so much and boot those times?

- Is it intended serverroom behavior as it could (in there) be interpretted as a PSU AND an UPS problem, ie catastrophe (hurricane took the roof off, fire or grand theft) so it just shuts down?

- Any software fix or is there a BIOS fix for it or should I just get it case mounted and never turn off the PSU?

- Is there a way to (without buying a whole case) buy a power on/off/reset button to not have to touch the PSU on a testbench?

I have a S2600CP with 2 e5-2670. when I received the motherboard, I booted it to check CPU and RAM and worked fine.

Now, 2 weeks later as I'm assembling the server, the motherboard powers on for a second, then powers off(all fans spin for a second), if left untouched it will sporadically try too boot for a second and shut off(in a loop).

I tried to remove CPUs and RAM and it beeps as expected complaining for the CPU.

I removed the motherboard from the chassis.

With a single CPU it behaves the same way, same with just one or two sticks of RAM.

I tried a different power supply with the same result.

I changed the CMOS battery and reset the BIOS.

If I power up with the BIOS jumper set to "reset to defaut" and then boot, it beeps with 1-5-4-2 that is DC power loss.

All the  PSU I have tested are 850W.

Any idea?

thank you for your time

Putting together a part list and would like to know if the 6 GB/s backplane (iPC FUP4X35HSDK or FUP4X35HSBP) or 12 GB/s backplane (iPC FUP4X35S3HSDK or FUP4X35S3HSBP) is included. Looking to pair this with the RMS25PB040 raid controller and could use help with locating the raid cable as well. The Intel Server Configurator Tool really should be smart enough to select this cable for you depending on your selections. The configuration guide feels incomplete as it doesn't specify which backplane is included other than a generic description ("4 x 3.5” drive hot swap") while the SAS cable guide section does not show options specific to P4304XXSHCN.

This is my first true server board that I've worked on. Until now, Ive only been using refurbished desktops with Ubuntu server.

I purchased and Intel S5000PSL from someone on Ebay, said to be a working product. When I received it, I look it over and find no defects, so I attempt to hook it up to my power supply to check that it works before getting the chassis. When I connect everything and turn on the power switch to the board, three lights light up, and all of the fans attempt to spin. The System Status light goes through the normal BMC loading where it flashes amber every now and then, and the System ID light glows for a moment before shutting off. Also, the 5V standby light in the middle of the board turns on. But, when I jump the start button pins for the front panel, nothing happens. Its as though the system doesn't get the signal.

So I started to check components for error lights. none. So I pull out the CPU. The RMM module gives me a 1-5-2-1 Beep sequence so I know it sees the CPU. I pull out all of the RAM and nothing happens. No beeps. no error codes, nothing. I move RAM around all over the place and still nothing. So, I reset CMOS and make sure there is no password. Nothing. I tried to force BIO into lower bank and nothing happens.

What could I possibly be doing wrong? Does it HAVE to be inside the chassis to even start?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I welcome!

At me problem with s1200sps

Hi Everyone,

My first time posting so be gentle ;-)

I've just purchased one of the amazingly priced aforementioned card & like many I've found it doesn't include the PCI bracket, which maybe because of the way it was sold or something along those lines. I had the same problem when purchasing a Tesla card, but was easily able to find the bracket online.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction of where I can purchase a bracket or two?

I noted that another post asked for this question to be posted under servers so hopefully someone can help me out.

Thankyou

Brad

Hi All,

the BMC embedded web server shows same negative temperatures (see attachment). First of all is CPU temperature. All firmwares (BIOS, ME, BMC, FRU/SDR) are updated to newest. It should be said, the motherboard is using in non-Intel chassis.

What can be wrong?  What should I set additionally?

Thanks in advance!

With best regards,

Just has a S2600 server shutdown without notice. Following is from Event logs just like some thought on what is most likely cause. Server is UPS protected and other servers on same UPS had no issues.

Physical removal of power cords from power supplies and reset server booted fine?

I have error 19F:

Processor and chipset stepping configuration is unsupported. By continuing to boot, you acknowledge you are operating is an unsupported configuration/

What is the cause of this error and how to fix it?

I have motherboard S5500BC and 1 installed processor Xeon E5520. I want to replace all the memory. I bought 2 of the Kingston (Hyperx Furry HX318C10F/8). Each module is 8 GB. After you install the new memory - server starts but complains about the following errors: 8542, 8522, 85E0. What am I doing wrong? Or this memory will not work on the motherboard S5500BC processor-Xeon E5520?

i bought s2600jf motherboard and 2x e5 2670 cpu

I was in plan to build small custom dual socket PC

i read motheboard manual carefully and I saw 2x 6pin power connector with only 12V

I make proper plugs with normal PSU (700W) also i power up PSU by short green and black cable so i get 12V out)

but motherboard not boot, i dont see any led blinking/ cpus are cold
is there power button maybe somewhere ? i thought when motheboard gets 12V will power up automatically but not luck

I have S2600WT servers with the latest BIOS and a RMM4LITE installed and get grey hairs trying to boot via virtual media, either USB images or ISOs.   I can access the drives from a booted system but BIOS doesn't seem to recognize the devices reliably.  Bizarrely, I did manage to access the devices iff i have a real bootable USB stick on the machines but not without, at least not reliably.   In the java console i also note some  java.nio.BufferOverflowException triggered by classes from com.ami.iusb.protocol packages which seem to be correlated with boots. Makes me wonder whether it is related that my network to the RMM is a bit sluggish.

In any case, anybody else having seen similar problems?  Is there any new version of JViewer which might not inhibit that exception? Or is it maybe a java compatability problem (although i tried with OpenJDK/IceTEA 7 on Linux and Sun JDK8 on Windows and had problems with both).  Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks!

Greetings,

I have a MFS5520 compute module that I am trying to install in a MFSYS25V2 chassis.  The compute module is populated with two Xeon X5650 processors and two DIMMS of Kingston KVR1333D3E9S/8G, one in slot A1 and one in slot D1.  The modular server has been up and running for months and all the other compute modules are model MFS2600KI (including the compute module that the 5520 is replacing).  The other compute modules are running BMC Firmware version 1.0.3616 and BMC Boot version 1.14 but the the new 5520 compute module shows that it has BMC Firmware version 1.27.1 and BMC Boot version 0.28 (BIOS version currently shows 'unknown').  When I put the 5520 into the chassis the modular server "Firmware" page shows that BIOS updates are pending and a reset is required.  I have completed multiple resets of the 5520 (via the link in the firmware page) but after each reset is complete the 'reset required' message still shows and the BIOS version still shows as 'unknown'.  I have tried clearing the CMOS on the 5520 via the jumper on the motherboard but that did not seem to have any effect.

Any ideas?  Can 2600 and 5520 compute modules be mixed in the same chassis?

Thanks for your help.

As the title suggests, I cannot get this board to POST. I've tried with only one stick of RAM and the board out of the case I purchased for it, but no matter what I do I still get a 1-5-4-4 beep code. I've even changed the power source, but to no avail.

Does this sound like a dead board?

Thanks,

I have SuperMicro system (I think SS-AMZ1BA02) with s2600cp board installed. My fans are running at 100% all the time, and that's very annoying. I've tried a lot of different things to battle that, but doesn't seem to help much. The fact that I bought this server used doesn't help either...

I downloaded latest firmware package from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25956/Intel-Server-Board-S2600CP-Family-Firmware-update-package-for-IDA-OFU-and-WinPE-. Flashed all pieces. While flashing BMC firmware, fans slowed down for a second, then spun up again. When uploading new SDR, they slowed down for a few more seconds, and then spun up. When booting up, fans start slow, but after about 5 seconds spin up at 100%. In the logs, I see this event:

I'm assuming that it's the reason it is defaulting to fail-safe 100% power mode. But reflashing BMC firmware does not help with that.

I've ran syscfg tool to get debug logs, but I can't open them, because of the password (attaching them anyways). Also attaching log files from sysinfo tool.

Any suggestions as to what I can try next to calm those turbines down?

Hi!

I have the server Supermicro X8SI6-F / X8SIE (-F) / X8SIE-LN4 (F)

Are the 3 disks in raid 5.

Red LED flashes on the baskets, which drives 1 and 2 (0 - green).

The Intel Matrix Storage Console shows that all is well.

Whom to believe?

P.S.: Asked support supermicro, they said to ask you.

I would like to know the MTBF for the R2208WT2SR server.

Thank you,
