Status This erratum was fixed in BIOS R0096 and later version.

Workaround None.

54. S5000PSL/S5000XSL cannot boot from SATA CD/DVD ROM using a

“bootable” Microsoft* DOS CD/DVD when RAID (or AHCI) is Enabled in

the BIOS setup

Problem Users cannot boot S5000PSL/S5000XSL from SATA CD/DVD ROM using a

“bootable” MSDOS based CD/DVD when RAID (or AHCI) is enabled in the

BIOS Setup.

Implication Users needing to boot to any MS-DOS based diagnostic, pre-install, or

application CDs (for example, Bart’s PE), are limited to using only the “IDE”

mode setting in BIOS. Please note: Operating system installation CDs are not

affected by this issue since they typically use “iso-linux”.

Status This is a known limitation. Whenever the RAID (or AHCI) setting is selected, the

Advanced Host Controller Interface Option ROM is loaded. Unfortunately, AHCI

is not supported by the Microsoft* Disk Operating System (MS-DOS).

Workaround None.

55. System may not boot after multiple DC power cycles with BIOS revision

R0098

Problem If console redirection and legacy OS redirection are both enabled in BIOS

setup, the system may hang early in POST after multiple DC power cycles.

Implication Users may occasionally experience system hangs during POST after multiple

power cycles if console redirection and legacy OS redirection have been

configured as enabled in BIOS setup.

Status This issue may be fixed in a future BIOS revision.

Workaround A soft system reboot (<CTL> <ALT> <DEL>) will result in a subsequent

successful completion of POST.

56. System will not skip CD/DVD drive with BIOS revision R0098 when

RMM2 installed

Problem If RMM2 is installed and CD/DVD drive is the first BIOS boot option, the system

will not skip CD/DVD drive as expected when there is no bootable media in the

drive.
