28. 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

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.
29. System BIOS may report POST error code 0x146 with the Intel® Xeon
Phi™ Coprocessor installed
Problem System BIOS may report POST error code 0x146 “PCI out of resource error”
when one or more Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessors are installed with the BIOS
default setting.
Implication The Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor might not be recognized using the default
BIOS setting as it requires more PCI space.
Status This issue was fixed in BIOS release R02.01.0002 and later release.
Workaround Press F2 to enter BIOS Setup, change Advanced -> PCI Configuration -> Memory
Mapped I/O Size to 256G or larger. The value also depends on your system PCI
configuration.
30. The Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor PCI Express* Card Status Sensor may
show "Unknown"
Problem When only one Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor PCI Express* Card (MIC card)
is installed in the server system, the card status sensor “MIC 1 Status” or “MIC
2 Status” may show “Unknown” in Intel® Integrated BMC Web Console.
