45. With 3TB or larger size hard disk drive installed, the reported storage
capacity size in BIOS setup or onboard software RAID configuration
utility is inconsistent with the actual value.
Problem The 3TB HDD capacity size is shown as 801.6GB in BIOS setup and 746.5GB
in onboard software RAID utility.
Implication With 3TB or larger size hard disk drive installed, the reported storage capacity
size in BIOS setup or onboard software RAID configuration utility is
inconsistent with the actual value.
Status This issue was fixed in BIOS R0060.
Workaround Upgrade system BIOS to R0060 or later version.
46. Voltage Change Error Message is logged in the SEL when LVDIMM’s are
installed
Problem When LVDIMM’s are installed in an Intel® S5500/S5520 Series Server System,
the IBMC will report a DIMM voltage change error message in the SEL, when
the server boots up. The Sensor also reads a higher threshold value (1.44V)
than the expected 1.35V for the LVDIMM memory
Example:78 06/19/2012-15:29:06 Voltage /BB +1.35v P1 MEM (#0x1D)
Warning event: BB +1.35v P1 MEM reports the sensor is in a high, but
non-critical, and going higher state. Sensor reading: Unspecified.
Threshold value: 1.44 Volts. BMC - LUN #0 (Channel #00h)
Implication User may incorrectly conclude that the Intel® S5500/S5520 Series Server
System does not support LVDIMM use.
Status BIOS detects the system memory population, and reports two VDD related
changes if a one (1) DIMM per channel configuration is used, or reports 1.5V if
two (2) DIMMs perchannel are installed.
Workaround This issue might be fixed in the future.
47. Intel NIC adapter E1G44ET is not supported in Windows Server
2008 R2 SP1* on Intel server board S5520HC and S5520UR
Problem When installing Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1* with Intel NIC adapter
E1G44ET installed in a S5520HC or S5520UR board, and error message
saying ”the system shut down unexpectedly, please restart the system to
complete the installation” will be seen during the second mandatory reboot,
