11. Server board may be damaged if insert the PSU 12v DC output (2X4 pin)

power connector to board main power connector 1(2X5 pin) by mistake

Problem Some 3.3v components on server board may be damaged insert the PSU 12v

DC output (2X4 pin) power connector to board main power connector 1(2X5 pin)

by mistake.

Implication PSU 2X4 pin power connector is 12v DC output, which should be inserted into

2X4 pin main power connector 2 on server board. Some 3.3v components on

server board may be damaged if insert the PSU 2X4 pin power connector to

board 2X5 pin main power connector 1 by mistake. This kind of mistake usually

will not happen as the PSU and PDB are fixed on chassis and the length of

PSU 12v DC outout cable is short and cannot reach the main power connector

1 on server board.

Status The issue will not be fixed.

Workaround None.

12. BMC will generate flood event log and send PEF continuously

Problem 1. Use IPMI tool to set a PEF (6 commands)

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x01 0x01

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x02 0x01

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x9 0x14 0xa8

0x1f 0x0

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x04 0x12 0x6 0x14 0x80

0x1 0xa 0x10 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0xff 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x0c 0x01 0x1 0x12 0xf

0x80 0x5 0x7

ipmitool –H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –U xxx –P xxxxxx raw 0x0c 0x01 0x1 0x13 0xf 0x0

0x0 0xa 0x24 0x71 0x7b 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

2. Go to BMC web console and go to configurations=>alert, check all alert and

must set destination IP to remote concole =>Save

3. Try to generate an event (unplug power), you can see there are a lot of event in

event log and make event log full.

4. Even when restore the PSU, the SEL is continuing to grow w/o PSU

redundancy regain.

Implication The flood even log will fulfill the SEL in several minutes

Status The issue may be fix in future BMC release

Workaround Restore the system and uncheck all alerts in BMC web console.
