S2600CP doesn't go on with post, hang at code B7h 'DXE Configuration Reset'

$

Hi, I have a S2600CP4 board, bought brand new.

It runs well for several days (windows/debian). Already has the latest BIOS.

 

I tried to reinstall the windows, it finised installing and was rebooting/posting, I took out the USB drive with setup files, then

it output obvious warning kind of beep sound.

 

Now it will not go on with post, after the first post screen, it stops there.

The dignostic LED passed the 4Fh Dxe IPL started and stopped at the B7h DXE Configuration Reset.

This is before the next post screen so there's beep sound at all.

 

Have tried to clear the COMOS settings by following the guide twice, did not help.

 

Have removed any PCIE cards there.

Remove ram module does gives warning no ram.

 

What does B7h 'DXE Configuration Reset' means and any idea how to solve it?

 

Best Regards,

R2208GZ4GC with A2U44X25NVMEDK NVME upgrade kit only 1 nvme detected

$

Hi,

 

we have upgraded one of our R2208's with the NVME upgrade kit. Replaced Riser nr.2 with the included riser (2 slots) and used the (top) 16x slot for the nvme interface card.

However we see only 1 out of 4 NVME's. The first one on the left is active (green LED), the other 3 show no led activity at all, not physically and not in bios/windows.

Additional power connecter is connected. We are using Intel P3520. Any idea what can cause only 1 out of 4 drives being detected? Mainboard Bios is current.
Could this be a lanes issue? As the server has all other slots full.

I have an ASUS T130-E7/P14 server with the Intel C204 Chipset. It has 4 x 1TB WD Red Sata 6 drives configured as Raid 5 with two volumes 100GB for the OS and 2.5TB for Data. I am running SBS 2011 and the raid is working fine (now I have activated write caching) Can you please advise which version on RST or Matrix Manager I need to install to monitor the raid from within Windows?

S1200SPL (DBS1200SPL) - Questions about technical specifications

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I hope I'm posting my questions in the right location, I am about to purchase a couple of S1200SPL (DBS1200SPL) boards.

 

Curiously these are the only motherboards on the entire market that fit absolutely every single hardware criterion I have - unfortunately I was unable to find some technical details about this model, I already checked the following pages:

Intel® Server Board S1200SPL

 

1) Does this motherboard support the Core i3-6100 CPU? I was only able to locate i3-6300T and i3-6320 on the lists but it would be rather strange if the UEFI of a motherboard by the CPU's manufacturer itself would only support select 6th-generation Core i3 CPUs (that are in the same TDP class).

 

2) Some of the motherboards are to be used in workstation systems that are not running 24/7, does the UEFI support:

 

a) S3 - Suspend to RAM

b) S4 - Hibernate

c) "Deep Sleep" in S4+S5, also known as "EuP/ErP ready"

 

3) Since the model seems to be EOL - are there any details about a sucessor that also supports Kaby Lake CPUs?

 

Thank you very much for your help!

S2600KPR: BMC FW Problems

$

I wanted to ask you about the Motherboard “S2600KPR” and some problems that I am facing with the new Firmware version .

With the latest FW version[1] I am getting this error message,

 

“Your session has expired due to inactivity. You will need to login again”

 

And with the old one that came with the Hardware [2] it is working flawless.

If I downgrade to 1.43 it works again. Is this a known issue?

 

I have also another question about BMCs and Ciphers.

 

Why do the BMC just works with CIPHERS 1? We would like to work with Cipher3 like we do with other products.

Dell T110 II S100 PERC identifies new HDD as an SSD - can't move forward

$
0

This is a Dell T110 II running Windows Server 2008 R2 with PERC S100/S300 RAID 5.

One of the HDDs was taken out of the 3-skik array and is now running DEGRADED.

 

I removed the old HDD and replaced it with a new on IN THE SAME SLOT.

The new one has been identified as an SSD!!

I can't proceed as an SSD is "the wrong kind of drive" to be brought into the array.

 

In view of the slot ID, the simple-minded BIOS, etc. this can't be a BIOS issue.

Somewhere I read about this being a driver issue but I can't find the reference.

No matter what, I need to preserve this system as it's in production.

I can work on it over the weekend but can't afford to "lose" its functionality.

So, if it's a driver issue then I have to be convinced that whatever is recommended won't blow away the array which is still working in DEGRADED mode.

Reset Raid-Controller RS2BL080

$

0

Hi,

 

Short story: I would like to reset my raid controller Intel RS2BL080 with attached battery pack.

 

Long story: I'm running an Intel server board S5520HC (2x HexCore Xeon E5645) using an Intel chassis SC5650DP and the above mentioned raid ctrl RS2BL080.

I've flashed the latest available raid bios and updated all of the board's firmware, like BIOS, FRU, BMC, SDR and more.

 

The controller once had four SAS drives attached. Running two Raid level 1. One drive crashed and I had to replace it.

I did not replace it with another SAS harddisk but removed both drives completely and attached two SATA drives. The raid controller is capable of handling SAS and SATA drives, of course.

 

After cold booting the server I pressed CTRL+G to enter the raid bios to configure a new raid.

First I was told, during bootup, that there is a raid configuration mismatch and I could continue pressing C. Ok I did this but to no avail.

I could enter the raid bios weeks before to configure both raid using CTRL+G. Again a few days before CTRL+G jumped at least to the graphical interface where I could select the controller, however this failed, because I could not use the keyboard nor the mouse pointer to proceed.

 

Today at the stage of entering the raid configuration, I now see a black screen - nothing more. The graphical interface I saw a few days before disappeared and even waiting for half an hour did not succeed.

 

I had a look into the controller manual and noticed there is a reset pin available JT9. Hence I shutted down the server, added a jumper to this pin and restarted, thought this would do a hard reset of the controller.

After a while nothing happened as well. Don't know if this is the correct procedure to reset the controller or not. The manual does not mention this either.

 

Question is: Did anybody encounter the same happening when entering the controller BIOS and how do I reset the controller assuming this would resolve this annoying error?

 

Thanks,

Michael

In the bios speed stepping was activated, and I do not know what to do, to conserve some energy.

I hope you can help me to either find a setting, so I can put it into a more energy preserving mode when the power is not used.

Or if not have a recommendation on what to switch to, if it is not possible for some reasons.

 

Thank you very much in advance!

I uninstalled the program originally since I was unsure what the original password was. It starts to install fine but after I type in the password, and click yes to bypass the weak password prompt, A box with that error code pops up. I have not been able to find much about it except for a site for IBM troubleshooting which said something about uninstalling C++ Redist 2005. I did so which then tried to install the System Console again which prompted me to install 2005 again. It then got to the same point and gave the same error code. I have also rebooted the server which did not seem to help. The server in question is an Intel S3420GP running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. Thanks for any help.

RS2SG244 "latest" firmware, v12.14.0-0185 or 12.13.0-0105 ?

RS2SG244 with 22 SATA drives connected. Updated to "latest" firmware, v12.14.0-0185 now half the drives don't appear. Then I noticed that there is a "High port count" firmware which is only at version 12.13.0-0105 Both are listed as compatible with RS2SG244. Should I have installed 12.13.0-0105 instead, and if so is there anything I can do about it now?

Hi

 

I created Cachecade using 2*SSD RAID 1 configuration. But I am not able to enable the ssdcaching on any VD. The option to enable ssd caching on VD is disabled in my BIOS. The VD properties is showing that it is not a cachecade capable device. What needs to be done to make a VD with Cachecade enabled ?   I

have serveral VD's with RAID5, RAID0 and RAID1 configuration.  I am not able to enable on any of those

 

When i am trying to perform the same using storcli commands. It is throwing an error that "ssd caching enabling on the VD is blocked"

 

Here are my details :

 

BIOS version : 6.32.02.0_4.17.08

FW version = 4.660.00-8102

Driver name = megaraid_sas

Driver version : 06.810.10.00

product - intel raid controller RS3SC008

Device interface - 12G

 

 

 

Thanks

Simple question! 

 

With the system set to performance (S1200SPL board), the fans are quite loud.

 

Does anyone know if I can add additional fans to the P4000XXSFDR chassis?  The MoBo supports additional fans and I would like the system to stay cooler and not spin up the fans so often.

 

thanks,

Hi everyone,

 

I have a swift question regarding the PCIe x24 slots on the S2600GZ or S2600GL boards. I would like to know if it is possible to place regular PCIe x1, x4, x8 and x16 cards directly into the x24 riser slots (without the risers, as they are currently not available).

 

Many thanks in advance,

Pit
