18. System requires approximately 35 seconds after AC power applied
before power button responds
Problem The BMC requires over 35 seconds to fully initialize the system after an AC
cycle before the system can be powered on.
Implication After an AC cycle, a user must wait ~35 seconds before the power button
responds. The BMC causes the front panel LEDs to blink in an alternating
amber/green pattern while the BMC intitialization is in progress. Users should
wait until the LED stops blinking in this pattern before pressing the power
button.
Status This erratum was fixed in BMC firmware revision 50.
Workaround None.
19. SEL events for HSC may appear after DC cycle
Problem The HSC may log critical and non-critical temperature events in the SEL after
DC cycle.
Implication The SEL events are deassertion events, which are not an indication of a
problem with the system. Users can ignore these events as they are not errors
or an indication of a problem in the system.
Status This erratum was fixed by HSC v.2.02 and later version.
Workaround None.
20. Fans may run faster than expected after exiting BIOS setup
Problem Some system fans may run faster after exiting the BIOS setup using the Save
and Exit option.
Implication The system may generate more fan noise than normal.
Status This erratum was fixed in BMC firmware revision 49.
Workaround The system must be AC cycled or allowed to boot to the operating system and
then reset to restore fans to their normal speeds.
