Hi,
I've just been given an ancient, refurbished S2600CP2J motherboard complete with CPUs and RAM and would like to get it fully working again.
The obvious first step is to update the BIOS but the oldest EFI update package available (01.02.003) states that I need to have at least version 01.01.1002 before starting or "the update process may render the system not operatable!"
According to the BIOS screen, my system is currently SE5C600.86B.99.99.x034, build date 08/23/2011.
As I have no wish to kill the system before I get started, is there any way of upgrading it to 01.01.1002 as a minimum?
Thanks.
I had created a operating software from bootable usb device but I am getting this error: "Initializing and Establishing Link" . I am using a SR1550AL server and I thing I should disable network from bios but couldnt find disable option any help about it?
Intel® Server System SR2625URBRPR
Intel® Server Board S5520UR
Intel Xeon E5620 CPU
Windows Server 2008 R2
Why are not available instructions AES, these instructions are in the CPU Xeon E5620?
I attempted to do the update package (Sept 21, 2016) which includes System BIOS 20.06.0005, ME firmware 02.01.07.328, BMC firmware 01.27.9958, and FRUSDR 1.11. As each component was installed, it confirmed that it was successful.
On reboot, a short flash screen appears, showing only a few lines and showing the system BIOS is 02.06.0005 and Platform ID: S2600CP. There is no opportunity to go into the BIOS, and I am stuck on this short screen.
I next tried to follow the BIOS recovery procedure. The first surprise was that the BIOS recovery jumper was already on pins 2-3 (recovery setting) and not pins 1-2 (default). With the recovery media on a usb stick, I tried recovery leaving the pins as they were, with no effect on reboot. I then tried again treating pins 1-2 as the recovery setting instead of being default, again with no result. Leaving the jumper at pins 1-2, I removed the recovery media, and tried again, and this time it complained that no recovery media was found. Rebooting again with the recovery media reinserted, and still with the jumper on pins 1-2, nothing but that same short screen.

So! I know, this is an old board and interactive support has ended long ago, but if there is anybody out there who could give me some advice I'd really appreciate it.
So! I bought this board from a guy on my local buy/sell page, it came just bare. I got 32Gb of FB-DIMM DDR2-667, and two Xeon 5160s and two Xeon X5355s, checking the datasheet for the board to verify that they'll work. I drop in my ram, two CPUs, custom brackets for my Hyper 212 Evo coolers, hard drive, peripherals, and PSU. I turn it on by jumping the appropriate headers, it turns on for a second or so, fans turn, no post codes yet, and then it just quits. Shuts right off. Status LED stays solid green, no post codes happened at all, and no beep codes. Does it for both types of CPU I got. If I just put one CPU into the first socket, it works! Works well too. Posts, no issues, I install my OS, and I'm off to the races. Only half as fast as I could be.
So I start checking things:
Hello,
I have a server mothebord S3420GP with 6 memory slots.
Now, I have 2 slots filled with these: 2x KINGSTON 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC CL9 DIMM with Thermal Sensor.
Is possible to use another 4 these RAMs? So I would have 24 GB RAM with 6 x 4 GB. Is this combination possible?
Or is possible to use 4 x KINGSTON 8GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 ECC Dual Rank BOX.
So total memory size will be 32 GB RAM.
Thanks for any answers.
Hi there,
what is the right approach to retrieve the NIC 1 MAC address (for OS usage) via IPMI?
NOTE: I am assuming the system is powered off and that a DHCP server assigned an IP address to the BMC LAN channel 1.
The S2600GZ technical product specification section 6.10.3.2.3 highlights the convention used to assign MAC address so conceptually one could calculate it from the BMC LAN channel 1 MAC address (by subtracting 4) but that seems brittle so I am looking for the (raw) IPMI command to provide that info directly!?
Other vendors implemented vendor-specific IPMI commands but I can't seem to find the doc that would cover an S2600GZ board..
Thanks & cheerio, Harry.
Hi,
I hope I'm posting my questions in the right location, I am about to purchase a couple of S1200SPL (DBS1200SPL) boards.
Curiously these are the only motherboards on the entire market that fit absolutely every single hardware criterion I have - unfortunately I was unable to find some technical details about this model, I already checked the following pages:
1) Does this motherboard support the Core i3-6100 CPU? I was only able to locate i3-6300T and i3-6320 on the lists but it would be rather strange if the UEFI of a motherboard by the CPU's manufacturer itself would only support select 6th-generation Core i3 CPUs (that are in the same TDP class).
2) Some of the motherboards are to be used in workstation systems that are not running 24/7, does the UEFI support:
a) S3 - Suspend to RAM
b) S4 - Hibernate
c) "Deep Sleep" in S4+S5, also known as "EuP/ErP ready"
3) Since the model seems to be EOL - are there any details about a sucessor that also supports Kaby Lake CPUs?
Thank you very much for your help!
Hi
cant find the VMWare ESXi drivers for the RMS25JB080 RAID module? (it will be in an S1200SPOR board which is fully VMWare supported)
Ive had some real major issues with ALL RAID board with ESXi, the only way to get them to fully work is to install the below:
RAID drivers, AND the SMIS drivers, with both install the module will show up in the ESXi vSphere console with what drive is attached to which connector on the board.
Also should allow for the Intel RAID configuration tool to connect to the board when its running ESXi to configure it, check drive status via the ESXi management IP address. This has been a MAJOR MAJOR issue for LSI / AVAGO / BROADCOM (what ever there calling themselves now-a-days) RAID cards, i have the drivers here for them now so i dont need to go hunting for them.
However i have never done ESXi for Intel RAID cards yet (as there not really LSI / AVAGO / BROADCOM cards now... there a hybrid version.
Many Thanks.
Hi,
I bought S1200SPLR and Pentium G4560.
When starting with the minimum configuration, it does not start with the following message.
This CPU is not supported.
Update to the latest BIOS.
I thought that S1200SPL"R" supports G4560.
Why is such a message displayed?
It can not enter BIOS SETUP screen.
Should I update BIOS in BIOS RECOVERY mode?
Thank you very much for your help!
I have Intel Server Board S2600CP in Intel Server Chassis P4000S with 5 fan coolers. Server two year worked correctly. But, one weak ago, 5 fan coolers started working too fast and too load. Installed one processor - Xeon E5-2603, and her temperature about 30 C.
I upgrade BIOS on last firmware: BIOS - 02.06.0005, ME - 02.01.07.328, BMC - 01.27.9958, FRUSDR - 1.11. During upgrade i set Chassis serial number, Chassis part number, System serial number and System part number correctly.
In BIOS settings set parameters: Set Throttling Mode - [Auto], Altitude -[300m or less], Set Fan Profile - [Acoustic]. For tests i set various parameters in BIOS, but 5 fan coolers worked very fast and very load all time.
Ask me please, how to diagnostic and correctly configure my server.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have difficulties with EFI Boot.
Long story short:
Having BIOS revision R0064 I'm trying to boot OS V 10.11 El Capitan.
The process is trail/error, so I need an easy way to change the BIOS Boot mode between MBR/EFI.
It is because I'm not sure I have proper disk for EFI boot, although I've got an OS X 10.11 installed on the machine and it doesn't boot in MBR mode, but if I set EFI Optimized Boot and try to boot my installation I don't have an success. The error code is 0xD6 - Trying boot selection.
The worst thing is I don't have an access to the BIOS Set Up at all so, I have to recover or update the BIOS to get the system working.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

This has been a big headache for a long time with no real solution posted anywhere on the internet. Am I allowed to post this? It involved editing the SDR file. thanks
Hello, I have a problem. Server board Intel SE7520JR2 with the old version BIOS BMC (version 20). I can not update the firmware to v.52, because new updates are working starting with version 23. Please help me find the firmware BMC ver. 23 for SE7520JR2.
"BMC 0.23 or later must be preinstalled.
If this is not the case, please update the IMM firmware to BMC 0.23 before
updating to this release.
The boot block has been changed with the BMC 0.31 release but it is not
required for this release. The batch file provided with this BMC package
does not update the boot block."

good day. Is there any drivers for this device on Win Server 2012 r2 ?
