I'm trying to run RAID 5 on a S5000PAL SR2500ALLX server with a FALSASMP midplane and SATA hard drives. I installed an AXXRAK5SW RAID activation key but it appears that it is only for the SATA RAID on the motherboard and doesn't work with the midplane.
Currently when it boots, the hard drives are detected only by the integrated SAS controller in the midplane. Is there any way to configure RAID to work with the key I already purchased or do I have to buy another RAID key/DIMM for the midplane?
Hello, all!
I need your help. I am an owner of S5500BC motherboard and have some troubles using Linux. Every time my system is booting I see with messages on the screen:
[ 0.414850] ACPI Error: Field [CPB3] at 96 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size 64 (bits) (20130328/dsopcode-236)
[ 0.414859] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_._OSC] (Node ffff880263ce0f50), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20130328/psparse-537)
More detailed research shows it's a problem with ACPI DSDT table. I have disassembled it using iasl compiler and found some problematic places.
But I doesn't know what is my next step? Linux community state that all firmware issues should be solved by hardware manufacturer and NOT by hacks like ACPI tables injected into kernel image.
Have I got any chances Intel will fix this issue (taking into account my motherboard isn't longer officially supported yet) or maybe I should search another way?
With best regards, Vladimir
Hello,
I have several problems with my pc.
I have 5520sc motherboard. I couldn't install windows 7 on my computer. It comes to the end process and just hangs there forever (configuring windows part)...I talked with another pal (who have exactly same system configuration) for a solution. He said that i have to disable the audio/video devices and turn sata mode to AHCI. I disabled onboard video and audio device . It didn't worked, then i turned sata mode to AHCI(previously ENHANCED). When i reboot it didn't worked too(i mean windows install problem continues). Then i mistakenly changed the "AHCI Option Rom" to DISABLED. After a reboot, first some text showed up but boot worked from cd and i started to install windows. Then windows operated first reboot and entry screen (which you press F2 to enter bios) showed up. It freezed!! I rebooted again and now i can't even enter to BIOS! When i click F2 nothing happens and a click sound comes from board...Now i have a bigger problem i guess 
Should i have to reset BIOS? What is the solution for both problems?
I need any help you can offer. Please help me immediately. I am begging ...Thanks
I have an MFSYS25 chassis with dual network switches in it. I am trying to disable the interconnect port between the two switches (port 10G.XC) but I cannot get it to disable. When I try to set the Admin Status of the port to Down on either switch, it immediately goes back to Up when I hit apply. Saving the changes and resetting the switches has made no difference. The same happens when I try to set port 10G.SC to be administratively down too. I am running firmware version 6.10.100.20120307.34729. Any help would be most appreciated.
Hi,
I got two R10000GZ/GL servers couple days ago. I need them to try the PCIe Non-transparent-bridge (NTB) function. After installing Fedora 17 OS, there is no NTB function available. I think I should set something in BIOS to enable the NTB function but I can not find the place to do it. Could someone can teach me how to enable the NTB function ? Or there is any document about this? Thanks very much.
Hello,
I'm trying to establish a KVM session with Win7/64 to one of my server modules. I'm getting the "checking browser config..." message and then the windows disappears. I've installed JRE 1.7.25 as 32 and 64bit version. The Chassis Management Module has the actual soft-/firmware 11.6.100.20120307.34736.
What now?

I have a customer with an MFSYS25 who wants to purchase an additional compute module. The only ones I can get from my vendor are MFS2600KI compute modules which are NOT compatibile with the MFSYS25 chassis. Can the MFSYS25 be upgrade by replacing the midplane and managment module with the V2 versions?
Thanks,

I have an older server my company uses for testing. We're trying to install Server 2012 (not VMWARE) on it setup as RAID. It has the Intel Embedded Raid II in it, but I cannot get Windows to load. I've tried all drivers I can find, and verified BIOS is the latest. I just need to figure out step by step how to get Server 2012 to load on this thing! PLEASE HELP!! 
I am trying to enable Jumbo frames on the switches in my MFSYS25 Intel Modular Server. Every time I reset the switches to enable Jumbo Frames (after saving the configuration) the switch comes back up with Jumbo Frames disabled. I have followed the directions on this Intel support document: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-031720.htm.
This has not worked on either switch. I have also pulled the switch module out of the chassis to allow it to reset. This also did not work. Any suggestions?
Hello, sorry for bad english ...
I have a S5000SL with 2 cpus, the cpu1 returning this temperature error.
already changed the cpus and the error persists.
it occurs randomly several times in a row.

Hello,
I have set the fan acoustic mode in the bios and the system fans remain at full speed.
There are no warning lighs on.
Temperatures appear well within the limits.
The FW versions are:
BIOS - SE5C600.86B.01.08.003
BMC - 1.17.4151
ME - 02.01.07.112
SDR - 1.08
Windows 2008 R2 std
Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,
Can someone tell me when the Intel S2600CP bios will support UEFI 2.3.1?
Will the Intel S2600CP board also support secure boot for windows server 2012?
And is there a way to view in the BIOS setup which version of UEFI is currently implemented?
Regards,
Jan Vergeer
I downloaded selview from here:
but EFI based version doesn't work with my configuration. Is there a newer version I should be using?
