Incorrect date and time Troubleshooting and tips
7.7 Incorrect date and time
Ê Set the date and time in the operating system or in the BIOS Setup under
the Main menu, using System Date and System Time respectively.
I Note that the operating system may affect the system time. For example,
the operating system time may deviate from the system time under
Linux, and would overwrite the system time in the default setting on
shutdown.
If the date and time are still wrong after the server has been switched off and
back on again, replace the lithium battery (for a description refer to the Technical
Manual for the D2759 system board) or contact our customer service team.
7.8 Drives reported as “dead” when starting
system
This error message can occur when the onboard SAS controller has RAID
functionality or the server is equipped with a PCI RAID controller.
RAID controller configuration incorrect
Ê Check and correct the settings for the drives using the RAID controller utility.
Further information is provided in the manual for the RAID controller.
7.9 Added drive reported as defective
RAID controller is not configured for this drive
The drive was probably installed when the system was switched off.
Ê Reconfigure the RAID controller for the drive using the corresponding utility.
Information is provided in the documentation for the RAID controller.
or
Ê Remove and reinstall the drive while the system is switched ON.
If the hard disk drive continues to be shown as defective, then replace it (see
"Hot-plug HDD modules" on page 92).
