misinterpretation can manifest the BIOS/BMC interaction causing a throttling
condition slowing down the system performance significantly.
Implication Systems set to Performance Mode are incorrectly being configured in
Acoustics Mode which could make the system more susceptible to overheating,
especially in 1U chassis, or performance degradation may be seen due to
memory throttling rather than fan boosts being used to cool the memory.
Systems being configured to Acoustics Mode in the BIOS are actually being set
up in fail safe state.
Status This erratum was fixed in BMC 62.
Workaround None.
48. Microsoft Windows Server 2003* R2 SP2 may exhibit a blue screen
during an operating system boot or shutdown with a specific version of
I/OAT driver
Problem Microsoft Windows Server 2003* R2 SP2 may exhibit a blue screen during an
operating system boot or shutdown. The issue happens only with Ver.1.2.78.6
of the I/OAT driver and only if I/OAT is enabled in the BIOS Setup. This
symptom was seen with the I/OAT driver in Intel NIC driver package Version
12.3.
Implication In the recent I/OAT driver, Microsoft* has changed a structure in their NetDMA
API. It is not backward compatible with the previous version of the API.
Status This erratum is fixed in IOAT driver ver 1.2.79.6 in Intel NIC driver package
Version 13.1.1.
Workaround None.
49. Recent Intel® Server RAID Adapters fail to activate RAID BIOS Console
by Ctrl+G in S5000PSL and/or S5000XVN PCI slot 4
Problem Intel
®
RAID Controllers SRCSASJV, SRCSASRB, SRCSATAWB,
SRCSASBB8I and SRCSASLS4I may fail to activate RAID BIOS Console by
Ctrl+G after installed into PCI Slot 4 on the Intel
®
Server Board S5000PSL or
Intel
®
Workstation Board S5000XVN Implication Fail to configure RAID in PCI
slot 4.
Status This erratum was fixed with BIOS R0094
Workaround Install RAID cards into a different PCI Express* slot other than slot 4.
