Hi, im using an intel s2600cp, with two xeon e5 2620 v1 processors. they are tested working in another system. when i try to power up the system, i get the following error:

1-5-4-2Power faultDC power unexpectedly lost (power good dropout) - Power unit sensors report power unit failure offset.

i have tried using 3 different power supplies, ecc and non ecc ram.

any help would be appreciated


S2600CP - Power Source Fan runs too fast and loud after BIOS Update to R02.06.E0006-rev2.

Before I had the same problem with motherboard which reported Platform ID as S2600SDP

Intel has replaced motherboard to me by standard warranty as wrong motherboard

New board has correct identification. And Power Supply FAN was working quietly.

Support person recommended me to upgrade BIOS on new received board and the story has repeated.
Power Supply fan rotates at max speed.

It is not PS Fan fault. It is some other fault.

 

As I know already, the loud PS Fan is made for signalling of critical system faults.Customer support by phone replies too slow.

So I decided to ask here.

 

Please, help me identify the fault source. ( taking into account that fault raised right after BIOS UPGRADE )

 

I attach sysinfo logfiles here

 

Thank you.

Hi

 

I installed on a S2600WTTR (Bios: SE5C610.86B.01.01.0027.071020182329 / CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2660 v4 @ 2.00GHz)

ESXi 6.7. (6.7.0 (Build 10176752))

Now i see that some Sensors are unknown.

 

 

But on the VMWare Compatibility Guid the System shod be ESXi 6.7 compliant:

 

Intel S2600WTT Intel Xeon E5-2600-v4 Series ESXi 6.7,ESXi 6.5 U2,ESXi 6.5 U1,ESXi 6.5,ESXi 6.0 U3,ESXi 6.0 U2,ESXi 6.0 U1

Updating BIOS of S1200SPLR - numbers don't match release notes

$
0
0

Just got a S1200SPLR board to build a server for a client. CPU is a E3-1240V6. Chassis is an older P4304XXSFCN.

 

Board specs:

PC:DBS1200SPLR

Version#:H77895-272

MM#:951869

BATCH#:CNQS88B0C0

PBA#:H57532-271

PACK Date: 11 AUG 18

 

Server boots and I press F2 and get the Setup Page. On that page I see:

IFWI Version: S1200SP.86B.BR.64.2018.16.5.01.1114.SELFBOOT

BIOS Version: S1200SP.86B.03.01.4029.041320180314.FACTORY

 

If I go into the Main subsection I see for both Primary and Backup:

Version: S1200SP.86B.03.01.4029

Date: 04/13/2018

 

On the Intel Support web site for the Downloads and Drivers for the S1200SPLR board it lists the latest BIOS as 03.01.0038.

 

According to the Release Notes for version 03.01.0038 dated June 26, 2018, before you update to 03.01.0038 you have to install bridge BIOS 03.01.2032. Though no where in the release notes is there a mention of the BIOS version, 03.01.4029, that I have on this motherboard.

 

Since this board was packed in August, which is later that June, do I need to update the BIOS or do I have something new or what?

 

I need to do something as the fan runs at full speed right now so I figure something needs to be done.

Help with RS3WC08 RAID Controller

$

We just purchased and installed an Intel RS3WC08 Raid controller. We are using 8tb SAS drives with Mini SAS HD to 29pin SFF-8482 with SAS 1pin Power Port 12gb/s fan out cable to attach the drives to the controller.  When booting up and going into the RAID controllers bios we are unable to see the drives being detected. Also, when checking to see if the drives are even being powered we are unable to hear them spin up. We are attaching the power cable from the power supply to the back of the Mini SAS adapter cables as normal. We have tested a standard sata drive using the same power cable from the PSU and it spins up fine. Please help. Thank you so much. –Frank

S2600WF0 SysCfg : set Fan PWM Offset

$

Hello,

 

we've got a couple of hundreds of Intel S2600WF0 servers. BIOS/ME/BMC/FRUSDR are all the latest:

BIOS Version Information:

-------------------------

   Primary BIOS Version:... SE5C620.86B.00.01.0014.070920180847

   Secondary BIOS Version:. SE5C620.86B.00.01.0014.070920180847

   BIOS Boot Region:....... Primary Boot

 

BMC Firmware Version:

---------------------

   Op Code:........... 1.60.56383BEF

 

ME Firmware Version:.. 04.00.04.340

 

SDR Version:.......... SDR Package 1.60

 

Baseboard Information:

----------------------

   Base Board ID:..... S2600WF0

   Asset Tag Name:.... Base Board Asset Tag

 

System Information:

----------------------

   Manufacturer Name:. Intel Corporation

   Product Name:...... S2600WF0

   Version Number:.... ..

 

Chassis Information:

----------------------

   Manufacturer Name:. ...............................

   Chassis Type:...... Rack Mount Chassis

   Asset Tag Name:.... ....................

 

Also have the latest SysCfg: System Configuration Utility Version 14.1 Build 21

OS: Debian 9 'Stretch' 64bit

 

We'd like to be able to change the Fan PWM Offset using the SysCfg utility, but it's not working:

$ sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /bcs "" "Fan PWM Offset" 100

BIOS Variable 'Fan PWM Offset' not found

 

However, the fan profile can be changed:

$ sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /bcs "" "Set fan profile" 1

 

Successfully Completed

 

If I save all the settings with sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /s /f /b, then the resulting syscfg.INI file doesn't have anything about Fan PWM Offset, it only has the Set Fan Profile in the System Acoustic and Performance Configuration group:

[BIOS::Advanced::USB Configuration]

Device Reset Timeout=20 seconds                    ;Options: 10 seconds=00: 20 seconds=01: 30 seconds=02: 40 seconds=03

 

[BIOS::Advanced::System Acoustic and Performance Configuration]

Set Fan Profile=Performance                        ;Options: Performance=01: Acoustic=02

 

[BIOS::Security]

Front Panel Lockout=Disabled                       ;Options: Disabled=00: Enabled=01

 

Tried to insert Fan PWM Offset=100 into the [BIOS::Advanced::System Acoustic and Performance Configuration] group and the restore the syscfg.INI file with the restore option of syscfg. The utility said the restore was successful, but the Fan PWM Offset change didn't effect, the BIOS showed the old value (0). We'd like to avoid manually changing this on hundreds of servers obviously.


Also tried to downgrade BIOS/BMC to the previous version. With the old BIOS/BMC syscfg was able read the Fan PWM Offset value (i.e. sudo /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /d biossettings "Fan PWM Offset" was working), but unable to write it.
According to the release notes of latest BIOS the Fan PWM Offset should work with SysCfg: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/28252/eng/Release%20Notes.txt

See: HSD-ES:1504762466, BIOS Change for #CCB 2083[Syscfg tool]Add option to configure fan pwm offset in syscfg

 

How to change the fan pwm offset? Please help!

S3420GP and RAM

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.

 

Intel RAID (RMS3CC080), how to "Online RAID Expansion", cant find it in BIOS or RWC3

$

Hi

 

We have a S1200SPOR with RMS3CC080, the below document on page 6 (real PDF page 16) says this controller (and all others that are 12Gb) will:

 

"Online capacity expansion to add space to an existing drive or a new drive"

"Online RAID level migration"

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/server-products/raid-products/12G_RAID_Controllers_UG.pdf

 

Ive completed both of the above before with PROMISE controllers and LSI / AVAGO, however i can find anyway in the BIOS or with RWC3 (RAID Web Console 3) to do this, when i select the Virtual Drive there are no options to expand or change the RAID level.

 

So how is this done?

S2600WT error 0x19b

Hi.

I have a new server with board S2600WT, I've upgraded it to latest version of BIOS, BMC, etc. There are two Xeon Gold 6138 CPU in the server and 768GB RAM. After each server reboot I see an error 0x19b

There are two screenshots with the same error in RMM and in BIOS:

error_in_rmm.png

error_in_bios.png

The same rrror in the rmm email:

Event that generated this alert:

Can anyone tell me how can I resolve this issue? Thanks.

S2600GL CATERR Debugging

$

An S2600GL motherboard  in my possession died. I'm at a loss as to what went wrong. I understand that the support period is probably expired, not sure about my support options but i figured i'd reach out.

 

It appears none of the major rails have any issues, but I just get no CPU vcore (it's not shorted, i checked  =P), rest of the rails come up for about 0.6-0.9 seconds, it blips the CATERR LED twice, power cycles, then does it again.

 

Not sure how to continue without reversing the board and reading the C602 and relevant CPU datasheet. I thought it might be fun trying to go further, I figured it might be worthwhile gaining familiarity on a hardware/electrical level with intel server boards.

 

I enjoyed the level of documentation in the technical product specification, not sure whether there's any further board level information available. I'm curious as to why J4E2 is populated on both boards i have but does not appear to be mentioned anywhere?

 

I've used another board and verified the RAM, CPU's and PSU's are fine. BMC boots on the faulty board if that helps.

 

At a glance it appears the S2600WFQ, S2600WFT, S2600WF0 and S2600WT have the same/similar mechanical specifications? I'd like to confirm that's an upgrade path if boards keep dying?

 

Cheers.

 

Ed: grammar.

Maybe too short auto learn period for AXXRMFBU7

$

Hello!

 

I've got Intel RSP3TD160F RAID Controller with AXXRMFBU7 MFBU. Raid Web Console 3 (and storcli) shows that auto learn is "transparent" with period = 1 DAY.

We have previous generation Intel RAID controller RS25AB080 with SuperCap2 module - it has auto learn period = 28 days which is on par with accumulator based BBUs.

 

Is 1-DAY auto learn period of AXXRMFBU7 normal? Is it so frequent by design or due to a firmware bug?

How do I update the BIOS on a very old S2600CP motherboard?

$
0
0

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.

S2600CW switches off abruptly

$

My S2600CW2R system has been running without fault for over 2 years.  Suddenly, it started switching off abruptly, after perhaps 15 minutes of powering on.  This has happened even when the OS has not booted, while I am idling in the firmware setup screen, for example, so I doubt it is an OS or software issue.

 

I occasionally get a boot time error message 8198: OS boot watchdog timer failure

 

I have extracted the EFI error log, but am not sure how to interpret it.

Should I attach the EFI log to this post?

 

Can you suggest next steps?

 

I am running

  • Dual Xeon DP Broadwell-EP E5-2699 v4
  • Cottonwood Pass Server Board Intel DBS2600CW2R
  • 4U Server Rack or Pedestal Intel P4304XXMUXX
  • Windows 10
  • 512 GB RAM
  • RAID:
    • One Umbrella Canyon
    • One Dark Canyon
  • NIC: Twinville X540T2G1P5
  • All firmware for the RAID Cards and system, including the HSBP, are up to date
  • NVIDIA display adapter was swapped out for a different card.

How to set up new RPM range for CPU FANs?

$
0
0

Recently, I replaced CPU fans on my server machine

The system  became much more silent.

However under load system do not increase RPM and do not reduce when system is idle.

 

 

I benchmark my system with CPU-Z

When CPU reached the temperature 77C the CPU load drops instead of increasaing RPM

Meanwhile, at CPU temperature 35C and below the FAN RPMs still remains the same

 

I tried to change FAN profile in BIOS - it didn't help. RPM remains the same.

 

The question is how to regulate RPM efficiently?

Is there some tool or setting to change RPM range and CPU-FAN-RPM(from-CPU-temperature) dependency

 

I have P4308CP4MHGC chassis with S2600CP2 Distil 5 motherboard
