S2600CP CPU wird nicht erkannt!

Hallo,

 

ich habe einen Server mt dem Board S2600CP auf dem bereits eine CPU installiert war.

 

Installierte CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz

 

Auf dem zweiten Sockel wurde eine weiter CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz eingesetzt.

 

Im BIOS wird jedoch keine zweite CPU angezeigt. Auch zusätzlich eingetzter Speicher wird nicht angezeigt.

Wird die neue CPU auf Sockel 1 gesetzt wird diese auch im BIOS angezeigt nur der zweite Sockel gibt keinerlei Sockel ans BIOS zurück.

 

Sockel zwei ist mit Strom versorgt.

 

 

Kennt jemand dieses Problem? Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?

How do I update the BIOS on a very old S2600CP motherboard?

$

Hi,

 

I've just been given an ancient, refurbished S2600CP2J motherboard complete with CPUs and RAM and would like to get it fully working again.

 

The obvious first step is to update the BIOS but the oldest EFI update package available (01.02.003) states that I need to have at least version 01.01.1002 before starting or "the update process may render the system not operatable!"

 

According to the BIOS screen, my system is currently SE5C600.86B.99.99.x034, build date 08/23/2011.

 

As I have no wish to kill the system before I get started, is there any way of upgrading it to 01.01.1002 as a minimum?

 

Thanks.

Cant see On-Board Video nor Graphics card while booting, S2600CP, Please help me if you can.

    Hello, and happy new year! I am long winded, and if you would rather skim, if you look below the very breif version is listed under short version summery lol.  Thank you!  If you want to read the full story continue on. This is my first server build, and I have tried hard to read through all the applicable manuals and available system information before making each step.  I have had this server up and running for a few months, and everything was okay, with one noticeable exception!  Every since I installed my first GPU, amd radeon 5800 hd, the bios doesn't display anymore via the on-board vga port, nor, the graphics cards video outputs.  I have tried resetting the bios to its default configuration by booting blindly and pressing f2 to load bios, f9 enter to set defaults, then f10 enter to save and exit.. I have also done a hard cmos default reset several times without the graphics card present, I have tried several methods, one from the manual (i think that is outdated now, just turn system off, move jumper to j2-j3 for 5 seconds, then move back and turn powre back on).  I have also tried shutting the system down, turning a/c power off, moving jumper to j2-j3, turning power back on for 45-50 sec, then turning ac power back off and resetting the jumper to j1-j2.  The later definitely seems to clear the cmos as my post codes reset.  However, even if I remove the cmos battery and do all the above and leave everything un powered for an hour, i still never see my on board video or graphics card video for my bios.. and.. as such i can not diagnose what is probably a simple boot failure.

 

    Before this, I was just letting windows load and once it did so, my GPU would kick in and everything was fine.. This made for some scary windows update procedures because its all black with no way to see anything!  I knew the day would come i'd need to see the boot information/bios... That day is here!  Anyone with any information or advice please contact me via email or reply.. It would be so greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance, and I hope you all have a great year!

 

*** SHORT VERSION SUMMERY ***

 

Cant see any BIOS / Pre-Windows Display what so ever, either on-board vga, nor via installed graphics card. (Gpu works fine if windows boots, just no display before)

 

System has worked for months, but since installing graphics card bios display has been disabled somehow

 

tried resetting cmos severl times with several methods w/o gpu installed and no luck!

 

Thank you and have a great day!

Hi All

 

I have a drive that went bad in my Windows 2012 server, the server started to beep and the drive was blinking orange.  So I was able to replace the drive with a spare drive, but the drive is still blinking orange and green.  The green is blinking fast alone aside drive 4 (drive 3 is the one replaced), but the drive is still beeping and blinking orange is still normal for RMS25PB080 to behave this way.  I thought that the RMS25PB080  is hot swap able?  Can someone advise me on what I am doing wrong here?  TIA...

Rmm4 Does not seem to be connecting to the network

Hello I have a intel s1400sp that i just installed a RMM4 LITE and Dedicated management nic into. I then followed the user guide and setup the server management tab under BMC LAN Configuration in the bios accordingly. I then saved pressing F-10 and plugged in the network. Both lights are yellow and blink slowly, yet when i try to connect to the RMM i cannot connect. I have also checked with my router, network mapper and cmd ping test and i cannot see or ping it. I have changed around the ip address, set to static and also dynamic, removed the dedicated management nic and tried using the onboard ethernet as well but the result is still unchanged.

Is there a document that defines the non standard (oem?) IPMI commands for the use with the server board S2600WT2R.

I'm looking for how  to access the I2C on a PCIe card to read some sensors on the board.

I'm using the ipmitool raw command.


Unable to add unallocated space to drive in Intel Modular Server storage pool

All,

 

I am attempting to expand a drive on one of our client's Intel Modular Servers. The drive is part of a storage pool in which I have freed up 400GB of space after deleting an unused drive in the same pool. I am now trying to use that unallocated space to expand another drive. Here is the storage pool in question:

 

2017-01-06 14_54_51-Modular Server Control.png

 

When I attempt to expand the drive, however, I get the following message:

 

2017-01-06 14_56_00-Modular Server Control.png

 

What do I need to do in order to get that unallocated space added to drive "Replay"?

Unable to monitor physical disk and RAID

$

Dear,

 

I'm busy configuring my N-Able enviroment to monitor my servers. Currently i'm running into an issue regarding SNMP and physical disk health.

I've configured the server with the software:

  • Intel Multi-Server Manager;
  • Intel Multi-Server Manager Agent;
  • Intel Server Management SNMP Subagent;
  • Raid Web console 2.

The server is running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard x64.

 

I can monitor everything else just fine, the fans, temprature and the PSU's work. The only thing i cannot monitor are my Disks an RAID configuration.

 

I have installed and configured the SNMP service.

 

Am i calling on the wrong OID's? The OID's that are getting queried by my monitoring software are as follows:

 

1.3.6.1.4.1.3582.4.1.4.2.1.2.1.1

1.3.6.1.4.1.3582.4.1.4.2.1.2.1.10

1.3.6.1.4.1.3582.4.1.4.2.1.2.1.24

 

1.3.6.1.4.1.3582.4.1.4.2.1.2.1.25

1.3.6.1.4.1.3582.4.1.4.2.1.2.1.15

 

I have tried a manual request with these OID's and i got a No Such name error Which could mean i'm missing the required mib's

 

So i'm wondering, have i missed some software? Or is it because my OID's arent right?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Ferdi

 

 

Dell T110 II S100 PERC identifies new HDD as an SSD - can't move forward

$

This is a Dell T110 II running Windows Server 2008 R2 with PERC S100/S300 RAID 5.

One of the HDDs was taken out of the 3-skik array and is now running DEGRADED.

 

I removed the old HDD and replaced it with a new on IN THE SAME SLOT.

The new one has been identified as an SSD!!

I can't proceed as an SSD is "the wrong kind of drive" to be brought into the array.

 

In view of the slot ID, the simple-minded BIOS, etc. this can't be a BIOS issue.

Somewhere I read about this being a driver issue but I can't find the reference.

No matter what, I need to preserve this system as it's in production.

I can work on it over the weekend but can't afford to "lose" its functionality.

So, if it's a driver issue then I have to be convinced that whatever is recommended won't blow away the array which is still working in DEGRADED mode.

R2308GZ4GC/S2600GZ "Pwr Unit Redund" after BIOS update - How to fix Power Supply FRU?

After updating BIOS/firmware with S2600GZ_GL_EFI_BIOS02060005_ME020107328_BMC0127r9958_FRUSDR113.zip, I get a "Power Unit Redund" warning and can't see any "PS1" entries in "Sensor Readings". Both powersupplies have green lights and the system continues running when I unplug one of them.

 

When rerunning the update I observed this message in the uEFI shell:

Power supply 1 detected but unable to identify model.

Sensors for power supply 1 will not be installed.

When running the command ipmitool fru read 2 fru2.bin and comparing with the good power supply, I see that the first byte is FF instead of 01.

  • I think the bad FRU is the source of the problem. Is this correct?
  • How can I write a correct FRU? I tried to use ipmitool fru write 2 fru2.new.bin, but the memory was write protected.
  • Does the BIOS update overwrite the power supply FRU? Was the BIOS update the source of the corruption, or did it just expose the problem?

intel server board s1400fp2 - raid

Hi guys,


That might be a really simple question for some of you guys but does that board support fake raid only ?  In other words, does the O.s need to support the raid entirely ?  I do select raid mode in bios but i don't see how i can configure it in the bios...  I tried control -I , control -E   when the server boot up but nothing show up...

 

Does that board need a add-in card installed ?

 

I did read that board support software raid...does that mean O.S dependable ?

 

Thanks guys for your help.


I'm trying to setup raid10 with 4 hd's...

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

$

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.

Ubuntu server drivers for 2600WT PWM controller?

What Linux drivers are available for the PWM fan controller on 2600WT boards?  I ran sensors-detect followed by pwmconfig, but pwmconfig reports that "There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed".  I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.1 server.  When I load the server heavily, the CPUs sometimes get throttled due to overheating.  As a workaround, I configured the fans to always run at a high RPM in the BIOS, but that's very noisy.

"Slight" problem. We lost the superuser password for one of our RMM2. I cannot find any procedure in any of the available documents, on how to reset the admin superuser password for this above module. Unfortunately no other users are defined on the RMM2.

Question: how to reset the superuser password on the RMM2? The server is physically accessible.

No jumpers on the RMM2

S1200V3RPL: BMC turns off

$
0

Hello All !

S1200V3RPL (the new board) with the "Remote Management Module AXXRMM4Lite" module installed. BIOS updated to the latest version.

Board has a strange behaviour: when turn it off thought Web Console it turns off completely, with the BMC. There is only one LED on the board, that always lights (green) -- power (near the main power connector). LEDs on both NICs, status and ID (rear) all turned off. It goes without saying, that there is no ping and network connectivity to the Integrated BMC Web Console.

The BMC starts working when press on the Power Button on the front panel. System stays in the off mode, only the BMC turns on, initializes and work in ordinary mode (like when one turns on power source).

 

I tried:

  • To reflash firmware for the BIOS, BMC and ME using according recovery modes (in sequence, one by one, setting according jumper with full AC power down, like it was mentioned in Recovery notes);
  • to downgrade BIOS to the v03.01.0002;
  • run the board with the other power source.

What options might I have to upgrade SC5520 motherboard with dual xeon 5520's? CAD application and need more power.

Great machine, just need more power.  Hoping to be able to upgrade XEON's and add more ECC.  My last CFD calc ran more than 10 hours.

Thanks,
