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.
