9. Intel® Server RAID Card SRCSAS144E causes systems to reset multiple
times before completing POST
Problem With the Intel SRCSAS144E adapter installed into the system, the system may
become caught in a reset loop during POST. The system resets itself 4 to 5
times before completing POST. This is seen early in POST within the first
seconds of power on and before video initalization. POST code LEDs show
0x21 "Chipset" Initializing a chipset component.
Implication POST takes approximately 15-20 seconds longer to complete.
Status This erratum was fixed in BIOS revision R0057.
Workaround Moving the card into a different slot sometimes resolves this issue. Populating
the card in a slower bus (x4 or x8) seems to make this issue appear less
frequently.
10. Change Logo utility does not save modified BIOS capsule files with
correct extension
Problem When using the Change Logo utility to modify a BIOS capsule file and replace
the Intel Splash Screen logo with a new one, it fails to save the new capsule file
with a .cap extension. The file produced has a .fd extension. The file is a
capsule file, but it has the wrong extension.
Implicaion Users may be confused and believe the utility is not saving the file in the
correct format.
Status This erratum was fixed in revision 4.16 of the utilty
Workaround When saving the file, on the Save As dialog box, select Capsule File (*.cap) in
the Save as Type drop-down box. Then in the File Name box, type the name of
the file with the .cap extension. It is important you include the “.cap” extension
in the file name or else the Change Logo utility saves the file with the incorrect
extension.
If you forget to include the “.cap” in the file name, but you selected “Capsule
File (*.cap)” in the Save as Type drop-down box, you can rename the file from
a .fd extension to a .cap extension and this will also work.
