Monthly Specification Update No. Plans Description of Errata 22. Fixed Exit Air Temp reading mismatch when using IPMI command in Linux*. 23. Fixed Intel RAID C600 upgrade key replacement issue. 24. Fixed The Memory Throttling sensor status will stay “Critical” after triggered on the integrated BMC web console Sensor Readings page. 25. Fix WOL (Wake on LAN) may not function in the Red Hat* Linux 6.2 64bit OS. 26.
Monthly Specification Update Errata 1. Linux* operating systems are not supported on SCU ports in RSTe mode Problem Intel® RSTe mode of SCU ports is not supported on Red Hat* Linux and SUSE* Linux. Implication Users may not be able to install Red Hat* Linux and SUSE* Linux through SCU ports on Intel® C600 Series Chipset based Server Boards in Intel® RSTe mode. Status This issue may be fixed in future driver or BIOS releases. Workaround None. 2.
Monthly Specification Update 4. The HDD status LEDs do not function with specific configurations Problem If drives are connected through an expander to SCU ports and are configured in RSTe mode, the HDD status LEDs may not function properly. Implication The HDD status LEDs may not show the HDD locate, HDD fault, or RAID rebuild messages. Status This issue is fixed in the RSTe driver Rev 3.2.0.1134 and later versions. Workaround None. 5.
Monthly Specification Update Implication Enabling both options in the BIOS may hang the system boot. Status This issue is fixed in the BIOS release R01.03.0002. Workaround None. 8. Microsoft Windows 2003* x86 installation fails in pass-through mode of the SCU controllers Problem Microsoft Windows 2003* x86 installation onto SCU RSTe pass-through mode fails. Implication The blue screen occurs during Microsoft Windows 2003* x86 installation. Status This issue is fixed with the RSTe driver v.3.7.0.
Monthly Specification Update Implication The SEL may indicate that the system has an occasional reset in a normal POST during a DC cycle test (global reset). Status This issue is fixed in the BMC 1.04.2896. Workaround None. 11. The Minimum wattage reads as zero on the integrated BMC web console Power Statistics page Problem In some systems the integrated BMC web console Power Statistic page may display the Minimun wattage as zero (0W) after the system has been powered.
Monthly Specification Update Status This issue is fixed in the BMC 1.04.2896. Workaround None. 14. The BIOS and ME firmware cannot be updated successfully using the Intel® One Boot Flash Update Utility(OFU) for SUSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11 (64-bit) with SP2 Problem The OFU fails to update the BIOS and ME for SUSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11 (64-bit) with SP2 operating system.
Monthly Specification Update Status This issue is fixed with Intel® Netwrok Driver Rev 16.8 and later versions. Workaround None. 17. The power supply sensors may not be available after power cycles Problem Some PSU sensors may not be available by IPMI command or reading through the integrated BMC web console after serveral AC power cycles. Implication The PSU sensor readings are not available from Node 3 and Node 4. Status This issue is fixed in the BMC 1.06 and later releases.
Monthly Specification Update Figure 1.
Monthly Specification Update Figure 2. The Chassis Quick Reference with Updated Picture Titles Implication The picture titles do not match the pictures. Status This issue is fixed with G53413-002. Workaround None. 20. The system may halt with specific BIOS configurations Problem After the BIOS options “EFI Optimized Boot” and “Memory Mapped I/O Above 4GB” are both enabled, and RSTe mode is selected, the system may halt during the system POST.
Monthly Specification Update Implication The LAN driver cannot be installed with the .bat installation scripts in the driver package. Status The issue is fixed in the Intel® LAN driver 17.1. Workaround Two workarounds are available: 22. 1. Install the LAN driver manually. 2. Lower the “User Account Control” to “Never Notify”, and then install the driver with the .bat installation scripts.
Monthly Specification Update 24. The Memory Throttling sensor status will stay “Critical” after triggered on the integrated BMC web console Sensor Readings page Problem When Memory Throttling is triggered, the Memory “P1 MTT and/or P2 MTT” sensor status will stay at “Critical” status in the integrated BMC web console even after the throttling has stopped. Implication You may observe the Memory “P1 MTT and/or P2 MTT” status as “Critical” even when there is no throttling.
Monthly Specification Update Implication The Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor may not be recognized using the default BIOS settings because it requires more PCI space. Status This issue is fixed in BIOS release 02.01.0002. Workaround Press F2 during POST to enter the BIOS setup interface. Navigate to Advanced -> PCI Configuration -> Memory Mapped I/O Size and change the value to 16G or larger. The value also depends on your system PCI configuration. 28.
Monthly Specification Update Status This issue is fixed in BIOS 02.01.0002 and later release. Workaround Performing the BIOS Load Default jumper can eliminate this issue. 31. If you downgrade the BIOS version 1.08.0003 to the previous BIOS version, the system may not detect the second CPU Problem After you downgrade the BIOS 1.08.0003 to the previous BIOS version, the second CPU and its related memory will disappear from the BIOS interface.
Monthly Specification Update Implication EIST may function incorrectly. Status This issue may be fixed in a future BIOS update. Workaround N/A. 34. The IO module Temp sensor (sensor 26) reading is always 0 with BMC 1.17.4836 release Problem The IO module Temp sensor (sensor 26) reading is always 0 when IO module is installed with BMC 1.17.4836 release. Implication The BMC doesn’t get valid temp data from sensor 26 on IO Module. Status This issue is fixed in BMC 1.19.5018 release.
Monthly Specification Update Workaround 37. “Memory Mapped I/O above 4GB” is enabled by default in the latest BIOS. Customers have to disable this option to make VMware ESXi* (all versions) installation successful. When installing IO module AXX10GBTWLHW in each of four compute modules of H2000WP system with 1200W or 1600W PSU, the system cannot power on.
