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. 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 was fixed in RSTe driver 3.2.0.1134 and later version. Workaround None. 5.
Monthly Specification Update 7. 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 01.03.0002 and later version. Workaround None. 8.
Monthly Specification Update 10. Integrated BMC Web Console – Power Statistics page – Minimum wattage reads as zero Problem On some systems the Integrated BMC Web Console Power Statistic page may display the Minimun wattage as zero (0W) after the system has been powered. This reading will stay at zero until the next power cycle of the system. Implication This is an incorrect reading only and does not affect operation. Status This issue was fixed in BMC 01.10.3560 and later version.
Monthly Specification Update 13. The BIOS and ME Firmware can't be updated successfully via Intel® One Boot Flash Update Utility(OFU) under SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11* (64-bit) with SP2 Problem OFU will fail to update BIOS & ME under SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11* (64-bit) with SP2 Operating System. Implication If the system is running SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11* (64-bit) with SP2 Operating System, using OFU to update System Firmware Update Package(SFUP) will fail.
Monthly Specification Update Workaround 16. None. Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Key replacement Issue Problem With Manageability Engine (ME) Firmware 02.01.05.069, the server may detect the incorrect Storage Control Unit (SCU) Redundant Array of Inexpensive/Independent Disks (RAID) information after installing or replacing the RAID upgrade key. The board or system may still show the previous RAID information even if you replace the key with a new one. Implication With the ME firmware 02.01.05.
Monthly Specification Update [1920x1200,High Color(16bit), 60 Hertz] Status This issue was fixed in BMC 01.16.4010 and later release. Workaround None. 19. Hard drive locate LED may not instantly respond to the locate command if backplane is connected through SAS expander to a RAID controller Problem If backplane is connected through SAS expander to a RAID controller, the hard drive locate LED may not instantly respond to the locate command from the RAID controller.
Monthly Specification Update Workaround 22. None. POST Code Diagnostic LEDs may not be all off after POST has completed Problem The POST Code Diagnostic LEDs should be all off after POST has completed.
