can i upgrade my cpu?

$

Hello, I have 2 Dell dimension XPS running XP PRO. Now that XP is  being non supported and Microsoft is leaving it with a major problem with wuaucit.exe running in svchost  I want to install windows 8. However, win 8 does not support my cpu because it does not have the execute disable bit. My cpu is a pentium 4, 3.2 GHZ, 800 MHZ, 512 KB cache. I am looking for  new cpu and what do I do about the BIOS. i am also trying to find information about the mother board to see if I put a new cpu is it wire so that windows can access the bit. Everyone says I need to get new machines but these cost over $3,000 new plus the software. I also have a dell inspiron 8500. I thought a simple way to  get around the svchost problem was to go to win 7 but the problem is in seven as well so I changed my browser to safari.

 

any help will be greatly appreciated

bois crashes problem

This has happened 3 times where in the middle of the night the PC shuts itself off and then won't restart. The only way I can get it up and running again is to flash the bios with a flash drive. This is a S1200BT server board running Windows 8.1 It's like the bios is erased for some unknown reason.

One time after it quit the bios would come up with a screen that said it needed help but with no options to fix it so I would have to reinstall the bmc and bios any ideas?

Raid Web Console 2 No servers were found in this host

$

Hello All,

 

Intel SR1560SF Server setup with hardware RAID1 / 2 disk with fresh install of CentOS 6.5  - 64 bit.

Ver 13.08.04.01 of Intel Raid Web Console 2.

 

I have worked on this for two days now,and Still when opening the IRWC 2 console after searching very briefly " No server was found in this host"

The Console does display the correct machine ip address in the console when searching.

Have used RedHat/CentOS for about 10 years now,So very familar with file locations,and depedency installing etc.
I have read the Raid Web Console  README.txt file many times,,and installed all the extra .i686 rpms as required.


Have read were on older versions of IRWC it would only use the highest nic,,if the board had two active nics. this is not the case on mine,,I have disabled,,re-enabled nic 1 and Nic 2.

 

I have never seen a good rundown,on what ports at a  minimum need to be listening/running for example when I run  netstat -tlnp ?

I was fairly certain this would be a challenge with the having to add i686 rpm's to an x86_64 system,but thought I would have had it going at this point.

Is it mandatory to have the Intel specific hard drive sas drivers,,for the the right hooks for the Web Console?
This CentOS  install installed the native CentOS mpt2sas driver which is actually what Intel driver bundle installs?

 

Thank You,
Barry

Server 2012 R2 efi installation

$

0

Hi,

 

I am currently trying to install windows 2012 R2 on an Intel S5520HC with a RS2BL080 Raid controller. I have 6 x 2TB drives configured in RAID 10 and due to the size of the array I have to use EFI to install windows on a GPT style partition table. The issue I have is that the installation fails at copying windows files during installation process. I have tried enabling EFI optimised boot and use Legacy Video as per GPT White paper found on Intel website, this causes the installation to hang at 0% during 'copying windows files' phase. If I disable optimised boot and use EFI shell to start installation I get a windows blue screen at the 'copying windows files' phase. I can install 2012 R2 with MBR partition but lose the remainder of my array.

 

I have updated firmware of mainboard and raid controller and still no joy, I also found a compatibility list for mainboard and server 2012 is there but no idea if 2012 R2 would be different though I tried installing 2012 STD and it fails same place.

Any help would be much appreciated.s

 

Thanks

Intel Server P4208CP4MHGC S2600CP4 WHEA Error 47

$

I have an Intel P4208CP4MHGC with S2600CP4 motherboard, Intel Xeon E5-2620V2, and the latest bios/firmware package from Intel 9/20/13.

 

OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

BIOS   : 02.01.0002

ME     : 02.01.07.231

BMC    : 1.19.r5018

FRUSDR : 1.10

 

For some reason this server is throwing a whole ton of WHEA Logger Errors from Server Manager in the Events Section of the dashboard. Around 2000 of these warnings are generated at intervals of every 10 minutes.

 

The ID is: 47       Severity: Warning    Log: System

 

A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Component: Memory

Error Source: Corrected Machine Check

 

I've read about this issue on other manufacturers platforms and it seems bios updates generally fix the problem.

 

I've run Memtest86 overnight, with no errors generated, so I do not believe the issue is in RAM, but I could be wrong.

RSTe vs ESRT2 [CentOS 6]

$

Hi,

I have Server Board S2600GL with RAID C600 chipset and Upgrade Key: RKSATA8R5 (Intel RSTe or Intel ESRT2 8 ports SATA RAID 0, 1, 10, 5).

Installed SATA hard drives (8 pieces) with RAID 5.

 

Historically, this situation are :

 

Installed CentOS 6.5 (64-bit) _without_ special Intel RAID drivers.

 

In BIOS menu "Mass Storage Configuration" set:

   AHCI Capable SATA controller = Disabled

   SAS/SATA Capable controller = INTEL RSTe

 

All worked fine since summer 2013.

 

Details in attached file.

 

 

After a failure of one hard drive (everything is fine now) I found this information:

 

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-033209.htm

This applies to: Intel® Server Board S2600GL

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3* with KVM (32-bit & 64-bit) only supported in AHCI or ESRT2 mode"

 

My questions are:

1. whether it is necessary immediately migrate whole server to another location and reconfigure the current Intel RSTe controller mode to ESRT2 mode (and migrate server back) ?

2. Where to find the Intel ESRT2 drivers for CentOS 6.5 (64-bit) ?

3. If I do not switch to ESRT2 mode and the driver is not installed (ie leave it as is), what awaits me in the future?


Disk Write Cache on board RAID ESRT II

I have seen demo videos on how to configure ESRT II, is There anyone knows and explain more about DWC write cache, if they would set ON or OFF on onboard RAID support, like for instance on intel server board s1200bts has an onboard RAID, do they need to turn ON the DWC in ESRT II even though they don't have a battey backup unit a.k.a BBU? what happen when power failure comes? what if i set to turn off The DWC? what will happen to the performance on the disk drive? which one would i rather prefer for the server s1200bts the ESRT II or the RST?

 

Please anyone could help on this technology, appreciated much on your comment and answer...Thank you!

S2600CP and VMWare 5.5

$

Hey all,

 

I'm trying to install ESXi 5.5 on my S2600CP and having some issues.  I'm installing from an UEFI-enabled USB drive and when it gets to the point where it says "Initializing ACPI" it hangs there for about two minutes, then resets.  The board is on VMWare's HCL list, so in theory it's supposed to work. I've seen forums were people suggest increasing the amount of video ram, but I added a PCI-E video card with no luck.  I'm assuming I'm missing a BIOS optoin somewhere, but have no idea which one.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks in advance

R1304RPMSHOR fans perpetually at 100%?

We just bought a R1304RPMSHOR and for some reason the fans are at full speed at all times.

 

I have upgraded the BIOS to R01.04.0002, which did not help.

I have adjusted bios settings to acoustic and set altitude for <300m

 

I have checked Server Products &mdash; System fan runs too fast or too loud and haven't gotten any results. Although i am unsure if I did the last one correctly.

 

Please help, the machine is so loud that we are disturbed by it, in spite of being behind a closed door.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

S2600-CP2 vmware ESXi 5.5 hangs on ACPI initialization -- Boot loop

Hi all,

 

I recently upgraded the firmware of a working S2600CP2 server running VMWare ESXi 5.5 build 1474528 and VMWare now gets stuck on the initialization of ACPI.  After about a minute or two of being stuck on the initialization of ACPI, the server reboots as if the reset button was pushed on the front of the server, basically resulting in a boot-loop.

 

System BIOS  - 02.02.0002

We inserted a new compute module into the Intel Modular Server today and when we attempted to power on the compute module, we received an insufficient power error. The IMS refuses to power on the compute module.

 

We have reviewed the configuration and believe it to be valid for this system.

 

IMS Current Firmware Build Version: 6.7.100.20110329.28522

 

We have three power supplies inserted into the IMS and all power supplies are fully functional. There are four compute module in total inserted into the IMS. Documentation indicates that three power supplies inserted into the IMS will support all six compute modules and all other modules.

 

What are we doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Nate

Hi!

 

can i get help from someone? are firmware in bios different from operating system like for instance windows software?

How about if i was reformatted a new hard drive which has an operating system of windows server 2008 and use the intel server s1200bts that works with ESRT 2 and RST in bios mass storage controller, now to a new server that was reformat when i set bios to mass storage controller and set to RAID and press F10 after rebooting and back to bios but first i disable quiet boot, after all it came back again to AHCI and I cannot create A raid for ESRT 2 on mass controller storage, do i think i erase the driver for RAID when i reformat it to a new O.S? or the driver for RAID ESRT 2 & RST matrix are still there in the firmware? i have don't have an idea whatsgoing on and cannot create RAID...I'm badly needed to configure my RAID for 4 DRIVES for RAID 10 array..since we have large file to run an application and need a RAID to perform large reading and Writiing....

 

anyone could help me so that i can turn it on to work the ESRT 2 & RST onboard RAID controller on BIOS.

 

appreciated much for your attention to this matter. I'm very thankful if some could help to this technical issue..

 

thank you again.

S1200V3RPM / XEON E3 1265L V3 audio over displayport problem

$

Hi all,

I have an Intel S1200V3RPM server board, XEON E3 1275V3 processor (P4600 graphics), which I use as an audio and video streamer.

The only drivers I have been able to install are the 10.18.10.3316 from windows update. All other drivers from the Intel download center (.3316 and .3345) fail to install.

The problem I experience is that I do not have any audio on the HDMI input of my AV receiver. I connect my board via DisplayPort cable -> HP BB937AA adapter -> HDMI cable-> Onkyo PR-SC5507 AV receiver. My PC cannot see the Onkyo as an audio device. Video gets transferred fine.

 

The HP Displayport - HDMI adapter works fine connecting an HP Elitebook 8570w to the Onkyo, miltichannel HD sound and all.

Thanks for any help, as the video part of my streamer is unusable like this.

Is there a difference between these 2 different part numbers?

Or is the MFS5000SIB just a 3-pack version of the same unit?
