Hello,

I have Blade Servers on MFSYS25, and I need at least activate Advanced Management Pack (MFSADVMGMT) for SysLog feature.

In a good case, I need the same for Shared LUN (MFSLUNKEY).

Our distributor said that he can't help us in this matter.

What should I do in this case?

Thank you.

Intel S2600cw2r not detecting GTX 1080Ti

$

So I'm building a deep learning machine with 1 Xeon e5-2620v4 and 2 gtx 1080ti on top of an Intel S2600CW2R server board..

I bought it at a local store, and ask them to assemble my system. When it arrived, the system won't even POST or giving me any output on the display, just blank(tried to plug the cable to the GPU card and the onboard connector, results are the same). After doing some research, I found that the local store misplaced the GPU on the wrong PCIe slot. I fix this, get the system POST, and the display works(plugged the display cable to the onboard display connector) and install ubuntu 16.04 server.

After that, I tried to "lspci | grep NVIDIA" and the output gave me nothing. So I thought it must be the drivers that need to be installed. I installed the "nvidia-381" package from "ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa", reboot the system, tried to "lspci | grep NVIDIA" again, still nothing. Then I tried " nvidia-smi" but the output says ""NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running"

So I jump into conclusion that somehow, the motherboard cannot detect any of the plugged GPU card. How can I resolve this issue ? Have anybody encountered the same issue ? If it's a hardware failure, i just want to be sure..

Note:

  • I Tried to plug the display cable into one of the GPU card, blank screen.
  • Already checked the BIOS setup, "Add-in Display" option greyed out.
  • Tried the GPU on another system, work like a charm
  • Tried to boot from legacy mode and UEFI mode, results nothing.
  • Tried to update the BIOS firmware, still no results.
  • I'm aware of the trickiness on how the PCIe lane works on this particular platform(LGA2011). The datasheet mentioned that the PCI/e slot 1 - 2 are linked to CPU2 socket, and PCI/e slot 3-6 are bound to CPU1 socket. Therefore, if I want to plug my GPU1 on PCIe slot 1 and GPU2 on PCIe slot 4, I must have 2 CPUs installed
  • Not just the GTX 1080Ti, I've also tried to plug an Nvidia Tesla P4, and the board not detect it either.

S2600WTTR Power failure if USB Disk connected

Hi,

we have several new Servers with the S2600WTTR Mainboard (System BIOS - R01.01.0021 and R01.01.0022).

When we connect a USB 3.0 Disk (WD Elements 2TB), the server beeps and restarts.

 

Beep Code: 1-5-4-2

Associated Sensor: Power fault

Reason for Beep: DC power unexpectedly lost (power good dropout) -Power unit sensors report power unit failure offset...

 

In the BMC Server Health log i have this entries:

 

807/21/2017 16:11:06Pwr Unit StatusPower Unitreports the power unit has suffered a failure - On-board 5V and 3V3 Power failure, - Deasserted
22707/21/2017 16:11:05Pwr Unit StatusPower Unitreports the power unit is powered off or being powered down - Deasserted
22607/21/2017 16:11:00Pwr Unit StatusPower Unitreports the power unit is powered off or being powered down - Asserted

 

Update:

I have this problem on Servers with Vmware installed / also on Systems with Windows - Do i need to check some Bios Settings ?

If the Server stands on BIOS Screen and you connect the USB Disk, also a power fault occure and the server restarts...

 

 

Any ideas ? any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

DBS1200V3RPS suddenly restarts, beep meaning

$

I am using DBS1200V3RPS motherboard along with Intel Xeon 1245v3 processor for the past 2 years. I have recently started facing restart issues with my setup. At times(usually within a day or two), server simply shuts down with a single continuous beep, followed by 4-5 short duration beeps, then a pause then about 4-5 short duration beeps and then a longer continuous beep. Sometime between the second set of 5 beeps and last loud beep, server begins to start again. Please help me in understanding what these beeps indicate. These beeps are louder than the usual beeps which are heard every time I start my server.

 

I have changed Sata cables of hard disk, set paging file to 0, chkdsk harddisk which revealed no errors, memtest showing no errors for about 12 hours, and removed and fitted power cables to motherboard again. Still no resolution to this problem. Any help appreciated.

Server board S1200 SNMP

I have a server board S1200BTL, running Window 2008 R2. I'm trying to get SNMP working. I've installed the latest subagent utility and ensured the Windows SNMP service has been started. SNMP testers are coming back with no response at all. I've read through the whitepaper for the subagent, but it's not really clear as to which ports are used or if any further configuration other than default is necessary.

 

I've opened ports 161 and 162 in the Windows firewall, but since I'm doing the testing from the server itself, that shouldn't matter.

 

Has anyone had any experience with SNMP on Intel boards?

Unable to enable SSD Cache on multiple VDs AXXRPFKSSD2 with RMS3CC080 - when latest FW loaded

$

Hi,

 

We're getting errors when a setting up SSD Cache on single and multiple VDs with the RMS3CC080 Raid cards (we have tried 2 new raid cards both have the below problems).

 

The problem only seems to exist with the latest firmware (v24.16.0-0082), previous FW: (24.15.0-0023) seems to works fine.

 

You can create the SSD Cache VD fine, it's when you go to 'enable' the SSD Cache on one or more VDs when it either simply wont enable OR you get the below error:

ssdcache error.jpg

 

When you upgrade to the latest FW v24.16 with SSD config already assigned to multiple VDs, then it seems to work OK, but when you clear configuration and try to start from scratch, the errors start again.

 

 

Can I ask Intel is this a problem Intel is aware of and will it be fixed in the next FW release?

 

For now we're running with the previous FW rev. 24.15.0-0023, but the customer may upgrade later without our knowledge...

 

 

 

Thanks for your help.

Intel S5520hc fans are always running full speed

$

Im standing with a server, with the Intel S5520hc board. And whenever i turn it on, the fans start spinning at full speed. It takes about 10 seconds, before the fans kick in, and after that they never slow down again.
The first thing we did was to go in under the bios, and change the advanced, System Acoustics and Performance Configuration, Set Throttling Mode from CLTT to OLTT. But whenever it restarts it just changes back. We tried updating the

FRUDSR, tried updating the bios to the newest version, tried unplugging and plugging back in the fan pins. None of it helped, we checked with SEL for any failures. Attached is the .sel file we get from the server, removed previous dates. All we could see was that it looped the same 3 messages for each of the 3 fans.

 

Informational event: System Fan 1 reports the sensor is no longer in a critically low state.  Sensor reading: Unspecified.  Threshold value: Unspecified.

Warning event: System Fan 1 reports the sensor is in a low, but non-critical, and going lower state.  Sensor reading: 0.000000 RPM.  Threshold value: 380.000000 RPM.

CRITICAL event: System Fan 1 reports the sensor is in a low, critical, and going lower state.  Sensor reading: 0.000000 RPM.  Threshold value: 320.000000 RPM.

S5520HC EFI Optimized Boot

$

Hi,

I have difficulties with EFI Boot.

Long story short:

Having BIOS revision R0064 I'm trying to boot OS V 10.11 El Capitan.

The process is trail/error, so I need an easy way to change the BIOS Boot mode between MBR/EFI.

It is because I'm not sure I have proper disk for EFI boot, although I've got an OS X 10.11 installed on the machine and it doesn't boot in MBR mode, but if I set EFI Optimized Boot and try to boot my installation I don't have an success. The error code is 0xD6 - Trying boot selection.

The worst thing is I don't have an access to the BIOS Set Up at all so, I have to recover or update the BIOS to get the system working.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello, I have a problem. Server board Intel SE7520JR2 with the old version BIOS BMC (version 20). I can not update the firmware to v.52, because new updates are working starting with version 23. Please help me find the firmware BMC ver. 23 for SE7520JR2.

"BMC 0.23 or later must be preinstalled.

If this is not the case, please update the IMM firmware to BMC 0.23 before

updating to this release.

The boot block has been changed with the BMC 0.31 release but it is not

required for this release. The batch file provided with this BMC package

does not update the boot block."

Mainboard: SC2600CP2R mainboard with 2 Xeon CPU's and 128 GB Ram, latest firmware, works perfekt.

RaidControler: RS3WC080 with 4x1TB Seagate Intel-certificated SAS Drives, latest firmware.

 

i am able to create a virtual device (raid-5 array with state optimal, 3 x 1 TB + 1 hotspare), but can't declare as boot-device, boot device is always "none".

This happens in boot-mode legacy (configuration with CTRL-R) and in boot.mode UEFI (configuration over PCI-Configuration -> UEFI Option Rom Control -> Storage Controler)

 

Installation of VMWARE 6.5 or Windows Server 2016 stops with "no boot device found"

 

I spend a lot of time, but can't find any error.

 

I would be very happy if somebody can help me

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!

Fan tachometer reading of 0 RPM although fans are spinning, results in critical alert

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I have a problem with the server mainboard S1200SPL.

 

Quick information about the setup:

  • board resides in a non Intel chassis
  • 2 chassis fans (PWM)
  • 1 cpu fan (PWM)
  • BIOS, FRU and SDR are up-to-date
  • SDR was configured with other chassis option, fan 3 and 4 installed, also CPU fan installed option
  • Fans are set to acoustic mode in BIOS

 

Problem description:

  • all fans are marked as critical in the web frontend (red)
  • diagnostic lights blinking amber
  • fan speed reading of all three fans is 0 RPM
  • but all three fans are actually spinning at a low level

 

What I did so far:

  • changed values in SDR file and uploaded them to mainboard
  • "SDR Type C0/0A Records For Fan Sensor Scaling", section "OTHER"
    • values for fan 3 and 4 changed from 25000 RPM (hex: A861) to 1000 RPM (hex: E803) and 1500 RPM (hex: DC05), that are the new max values
    • value for processor fan changed from 25000 RPM (hex: A861) to 1900 RPM (hex: 6C07), that is the new max value
  • "Fan tachometer sensors", "OTHER" sections
    • "OTHER_FAN_3"
      • M=04h
      • Nominal Reading=80h (500 RPM)
      • Normal Minimum=7Ch (490 RPM)
      • Lower critical = 00h
      • Lower non-critical = 02h
    • "OTHER_FAN_4"
      • M=06h
      • Nominal Reading=7Fh (750 RPM)
      • Normal Minimum=66h (600 RPM)
      • Lower critical = 00h (0 RPM)
      • Lower non-critical = 11h (12 RPM)
    • "OTHER_PROC_FAN"
      • M=07h
      • Nominal Reading=49h (550 RPM)
      • Normal Minimum=43h (500 RPM)
      • Lower critical = 2Fh (350 RPM)
      • Lower non-critical = 35h (400 RPM)

 

The values of fan 4 were set to nearly 0 to test if the critical alert will go away, but it didn't. Sometimes fan 4 reports a valid RPM value of 400 RPM and status gets to normal. The fans are spinning in a slow mode so that the whole system is very quiet :-).

 

Questions:

  • are the fan readings influenced by some other values directly or indirectly in the SDR file, for example "Domain/Profile Dependent RECORDS" or the curves?
  • can the fan readings be fixed somehow?

 

A bit history: the chassis that I bought came with 3 3-pin-only-fans, that spinned up to 100%. The cpu fan was always a 4-pin fan. Before I changed the numbers in the SDR file the 3 chassis fans got a valid rpm read, but the cpu fan did not. After setting the values in the SDR file, the cpu got also a valid RPM value, but the chassis fans were spinning at 100%. I decided to exchange two of the chassis fan through 4-pin fans. The third chassis fan is disabled now. After placing the new fans in, all rpm values were set to 0 RPM and the status became critical although all fans are actually spinning. and the max rpm values are the same as before After that I lowered the critical values for the chassis fans but without any success.

S1200BTL Strange Behavior

$

Hi Everyone,

 

I used to have an Intel board s1200BTS and I was using an E31265LV2 and Kingston KVR13E9/8HM with it and everything was running fine.

That board died on me and decided to buy a replacement from eBay as I wanted to keep the same server running with the same components but I bought an s1200BTL instead.

 

In theory, they should be both compatible with the same components as they are from the same family. However, when I use the same processor E31265LV2 along with the same Memory KVR13E9/8HM, I get a 1-5-4-2 beep code and the board keeps resetting with no output on the screen.

 

Now the new BTL board came with another processor 1220V2, but when I use it with KVR13E9/8HM, the board does not boot either and the status LED keeps blinking orange but no beep codes.

 

Has anyone faced a similar issue or can explain what's happening?

 

Thanks

 

Omar

S2600CP very loud fan

$

I have Intel Server Board S2600CP in Intel Server Chassis P4000S with 5 fan coolers. Server two year worked correctly. But, one weak ago, 5 fan coolers started working too fast and too load. Installed one processor - Xeon E5-2603, and her temperature about 30 C.

I upgrade BIOS on last firmware: BIOS - 02.06.0005, ME - 02.01.07.328, BMC - 01.27.9958, FRUSDR - 1.11. During upgrade i set Chassis serial number, Chassis part number, System serial number and System part number correctly.

In BIOS settings set parameters: Set Throttling Mode - [Auto], Altitude -[300m or less], Set Fan Profile - [Acoustic]. For tests i set various parameters in BIOS, but 5 fan coolers worked very fast and very load all time.

Ask me please, how to diagnostic and correctly configure my server.

 

Thanks.
