Intel® Server Boards & Systems Monthly Specification Update Errata 1. Linux* Operating Systems are not supported on RSTe mode Problem Intel® RSTe mode is not supported on Red Hat* Linux and SUSE* Linux. Implication User may not able to install Red Hat* Linux and SUSE* Linux on Intel® C600 Series Chipset based Server Boards under Intel® RSTe mode Status This issue may be fixed in future driver or BIOS releases. Workaround None. 2.
Monthly Specification Update 4. Intel® Server Boards & Systems HDD status LEDs do not function under specific configuration Problem If drives are connected through expander to SCU ports and configured under RSTe mode, the HDD status LEDs may not function properly. Implication HDD status LED may not show the HDD locate, HDD fault or RAID rebuild message. Status This issue is fixed in RSTe driver 3.2.0.1134 and later version. Workaround None. 5.
Intel® Server Boards & Systems Monthly Specification Update Implication User may see system hang with mentioned configuration. Status This issue is fixed in BIOS release R01.03.0002. Workaround None. 8. Microsoft Windows 2003* x86 installation failure under Pass-through mode of SCU controller Problem Microsoft Windows Server 2003* x86 installations on SCU RSTe pass-through mode fail. Implication User may not able to install Microsoft Windows Server 2003* x86 on mentined BIOS configuration.
Monthly Specification Update Intel® Server Boards & Systems Implication The SEL log may indicate that system has an occasional reset in a normal POST during DC cycle test (global reset). Status This issue was fixed in BMC 1.04. Workaround None. 11.
Intel® Server Boards & Systems Workaround 14. Monthly Specification Update Select another page in the Integrated BMC Web Console and then return to the Power Control Page. The Perform Action button will then be available. IPMI Get Chassis Status command returns incorrect Chassis Identify State. Problem When a Get Chassis Status command is issued, after the Chassis Identify LED has been forced on, the status of off (00b) is returned for Chassis Identify State (response data byte 4 – bits [5:4]).
Monthly Specification Update 17.
Intel® Server Boards & Systems Monthly Specification Update Status The issue is fixed with ESRT2 driver 15.00.0927.2012. Workaround None. 20. System may detect unrecognized sensors Problem Prior to updating the sytem with the FRU/SDR package, the system may detect unrecognized sensors. Implication The system may have additional System Event Log (SEL) for the unrecoginzed sensors being detected, system status LED may turn amber and system FAN may boost.
Monthly Specification Update Workaround 23. Intel® Server Boards & Systems None. System will boot from on-board video although install add-in video card Problem When try to boot from add-in video card, system can not boot up. Implication Bios video output policy by default was booting from onboard video although install the add-in video card. Status This issue was fixed in BIOS 01.02.0009 and changed video output to installed add-in video card by default.
Intel® Server Boards & Systems Monthly Specification Update Problem With Intel® LAN driver version 17.1, WOL (Wake on LAN) may not function under Red Hat* Linux 6.2 64bit OS. Implication You may not be able to wake system through onboard NIC port. Status This issue was fixed in a LAN driver 17.4 release. Workaround None. 27.
Monthly Specification Update 29. Intel® Server Boards & Systems System BIOS may report POST error code 0x146 with the Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor installed Problem System BIOS may report POST error code 0x146 “PCI out of resource error” when one or more Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessors are installed with the BIOS default setting. Implication The Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor might not be recognized using the default BIOS setting as it requires more PCI space.
Intel® Server Boards & Systems Workaround 32. Monthly Specification Update None. Reported processor frequency is lower than expected when the BIOS setup option EIST is disabled and the system is also in idle mode. Problem When the system is in idle mode during OS runtime and EIST is disabled in BIOS setup, the reported processor speed may report a lower than expected frequency. Implication EIST may function incorrectly. Status This issue may be fixed in a future BIOS update. Workaround N/A.
