Monthly Specification Update Platform Collaboration and Systems Division Errata 1. Linux* operating systems are not supported in RSTe mode Problem Intel® RSTe mode is not supported on Red Hat* Linux and SUSE* Linux. Implication Users may not be able to install Red Hat* Linux and SUSE* Linux on Intel® C600 Series Chipset based Server Boards in Intel® RSTe mode. Status This issue may be fixed in future driver or BIOS releases. Workaround None. 2.
Platform Collaboration and Systems Division Monthly Specification Update Status This issue is fixed in the latest RSTe driver ver 3.0.0.3020 upd 2012.03.03. Workaround None. 5. System may halt under specific BIOS configurations Problem Once BIOS options “EFI Optimized Boot” and “Memory Mapped I/O Above 4GB” are both enabled, and RSTe mode is selcted, system may halt during the system POST. Implication User may see system hang with mentioned configuration. Status This issue was fixed in BIOS 01.
Monthly Specification Update 8. Platform Collaboration and Systems Division BMC continuously sends HDD assert/de-assert event during HDD RAID rebuild under ESRT2 mode of the SCU controller Problem HDD fault will keep asserting and de-asserting frequent during RAID rebuild under ESRT2. Implication During HDD ESRT2 RAID rebuild, there's flood HDD fault assert/deassert(SAS RAID) or Rebuild/remap (SATA RAID) logs into SEL. Status This issue was fixed in ESRT2 driver 15.00.0528.2012 and later version.
Platform Collaboration and Systems Division 11. Monthly Specification Update Integrated BMC Web Console – Sensor Readings Page – Memory Throttling sensor status will stay “Critical” once triggered Problem When Memory Throttling is triggered, the Memory “P1 MTT and/or P2 MTT” sensor status will stay at “Critical” status in the Integrated BMC Web Console even after throttling has stopped. Implication User may observe Memory “P1 MTT and/or P2 MTT” status as “Critical” even when there is no throttling.
Monthly Specification Update 14. Platform Collaboration and Systems Division Intel® FDR InfiniBand* ConnectX* -3 I/O Module may not comply with FCC and Industry Canada regulations Problem Intel® FDR InfiniBand* ConnectX* -3 I/O Module AXX1FDRIBIOM and AXX2FDRIBIOM may not comply with Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada regulations when used with copper InfiniBand* cables.
Platform Collaboration and Systems Division 17. Monthly Specification Update Intel® FDR InfiniBand* ConnectX* -3 I/O Module AXX2FDRIBIOM port 2 may have interconnect problem with Mellanox* 1m FDR or 7m SFP+ passive copper cables Problem Intel® FDR InfiniBand* ConnectX* -3 I/O Module AXX2FDRIBIOM port 2 may have interconnect problem when used with Mellanox* 1 meter FDR or 7 meters SFP+ passive copper cables.
Monthly Specification Update 19. Platform Collaboration and Systems Division VMware ESXi* installation failure when detecting Network Adapters Problem The system may encounter a failure when installing VMware ESXi* OS, and the error messages could be “No Network Adapters”. Implication Users may not be able to successfully install the VMware ESXi* (all versions). Status VMware does not support Memory Mapped I/O above 4GB. This issue can be fixed by disabling this BIOS option.
Platform Collaboration and Systems Division 22. Monthly Specification Update The DIMM voltage warnings are generated with some 1.35v LR DIMMs installed Problem With some 1.35v LR DIMMs installed, users may see BB 1.35 high, noncritical/critical messages in the SEL log. Implication These errors are generated because during boot, DIMMS start at 1.5v. The BMC reads the voltage and compares it with the SDR threshold for LV DIMMS (1.35v) and then flags Over Voltage.
