Hi folks:

I just put together a server with a S2600CWTS board and P4304XXMUXX chasis and I'm having trouble with the power supply sensors.  It appears that they are missing.  I noticed it when as a test I pulled the power cable from one of the two 750w power supplies to verify that the alert system was working, and low and behold no sensor went red.  Upon closer examination I don't see any sensors for the power supplies at all.

As part of the installation I installed the latest BIOS package and the FRUSDR (1.07).  As far as I can tell it correctly identified the chasis.   I'm thinking it's some sort of SDR record issue, but as I'm new to this (I'm a software person by trade and only build servers on the side when I really need to), maybe there is something obvious I'm missing.   I'm attaching some screens from the management web page showing the SDR stuff and the sensors.

Suggestions welcome.

Note that the OS was powered down when I did this and I had the case open.  The sensors list is just to show what sensors it shows as being available.

Hi all,

I recently upgraded the firmware of a working S2600CP2 server running VMWare ESXi 5.5 build 1474528 and VMWare now gets stuck on the initialization of ACPI.  After about a minute or two of being stuck on the initialization of ACPI, the server reboots as if the reset button was pushed on the front of the server, basically resulting in a boot-loop.

System BIOS  - 02.02.0002

  ME Firmware  - 02.01.07.328

  BMC Firmware - 01.20 r5446

  FRUSDR       - 1.10

Goodmorning everyone.

I have a card S5520GC which is housed inside a case SC5650DP .

I use the server as a workstation . My problem is that the fan supply is quite noisy , it was also new and now is getting worse .

I want to buy a new power supply , possibly fanless , can anyone suggest me what to buy ?

I do not have any extra power module , I have six hard drives and a video card , I just need a 600W power supply , I would just be sure you have all the cables needed to feed two processors , the board , the fans and hard drives .

I await your advice thanks

Hi,

I come on this board to ask for some help about a motherboard s1200v3rpm that I bought it to build a SOHO server.

The most immediate problem is that there isn't any VGA output signal from the motherboard, so I am quite unable to figure out the situation precisely.

Here is my configuration:

- MB s1200v3rpm, S/N are: pba g62254-405 / bqrp-34600095

- CPU core i3 4350

- 4GB memory DDR3L Crucial (CT51272BD160BJ - officially supported by the motherboard as mentionned on the Crucial site), in A1 slot

- PSU Be Quiet Straight Power 10 (compatible with c6/c7 states)

- nothing else attached (I also tested with a sata 1TB WD Blue 2.5" drive, but it had no impact).

The boot sequence shows the following flashes from status / ID leds (POST code leds stay dark):

- (for 1s) ID: blue blinking 5hz, Status: amber light solid

- (for 7s) ID blue blinking 3hz, Status green blinking 1Hz

- (for 1s) all off

- (for 14s) ID: blue solid, Status: green 1hz

- (for 1 s) all off

- (forever) ID: off, Status: green 1hz

As I understand from the manual, various causes are possible, and BMC is likely not operational.

The problem is, there is no VGA output whatsoever from the MB (I verified cable and monitor with another computer and they are OK), at any moment during the boot or afterwards (so impossible to go to BIOS, etc.).

Also there are no beeps, plugging an usb keyboard before, during or after boot does not produce anything (keyboard seems unactive, as there is no light on caps lock and num lock toggle).

I did the bios reset to default sequence (using the jumper) as instructed in the manual, but nothing changes.

I am quite stuck at this level, if anybody has an idea and/or experienced the same problems, I would be gratefuls of a few hints.

Thanks,

David

Hi all,

I need to update the firmware on my S2600CP and was hoping I can go straight from version 2.00.1201 to the latest 02.04.0003 (Intel® Download Center)

Thanks!

Hello,

I have an S1200BTL motherboard and an P4303xxsfcnna chassis.  I've used Intel Deployment Assistant to update BIOS, BMC, FRU, etc.  The chassis fans are still running at full speed.  The BIOS only has an option to change to altitude, but the fan speed is set to auto and cannot be configured.

Any reason why the fans would be running full speed on both of my systems?

Thanks

despite i added in registry some new keys :

EnableDCA=1 and EnableTCPA=1

they have no effect even many reboot ... while my settings in win 7 were done without anything in the registry except using tcpoptimizer from speed guide

what should i do ?

i also be glad if someone gives a link to a wiki about the registry keys for tcip and the different windows releases, even something [improbable] knowing all the keys of all the windows...

We have a Intel RAID controller card, model number SRCSASLS4I. Anyone ever dealt with replacing and rebuilding a RAID array on this card (or a similar one)? We inherited this particular server and need to replace a failed drive. I've read through the documentation for this card and as I understand it, they want you to:

In the RAID Web Console

1. Right click the failed drive and click Rebuild
2. If (and when) that fails, right click the failed drive and click Prepare for Removal

At that point, we would shut down the server, swap the drive with a new one (same exact model), go into the RAID Web Console, right click the new drive, and click rebuild.

Just wanted to see if others have done this before and if this sounds correct.

In case we are dealing with TWO - 2 drive arrays in RAID 1 config. Just one drive in the first array is in failed state. There is not a hot spare configured. I cannot determine for sure that hot-swap is an option, so I am shutting it down to be safe.

Thanks!

Hi,

I installed Intel Active System Console 4.0 ond Windows Server 2008 R2 and setup the Password for the user admin. But now its allways wrong. First I thought my mistakte and I deinstalled the software and reinstalled it but still the password ist wrong. So how can I reset the password?

Thanks for your help.

Hello.

I did check the compability list before I orderd myself a S1200BTS server board and a pair of Kingston 8GB ECC-modules and I can admit that I did not see the exact RAM model number in the list but I somehow in my own little mind thought that these modules would match.

No luck.

Kingston KVR1333D3LQ8R9S/8G is not compatible with the current S1200BTS and the firmware it was shipped with.

Just wanted to ask if anyone else here has experienced the same problem and what did You do to handle it?

I do however find it a bit strange that the board support up to 32GB ECC (4 slots) but in the comp. list it only shows 4GB modules as compatible giving it a total of 16GB installed.

Oh well, no harm done and I feel pretty confident that this board will come to support these memorys in a future firmware update (crossing fingers and toes).

Have a nice evening.

Cheers.

Bpedersen: Thank you for your reply.

I bought a pair of cheap 2GB DDR3 (making it 4GB) modules for $40 just to get the machine up n' running. No Beep errors (yay!) but since I did not get any screen signal I got back to digging for a solution to this "new" and exciting problem.

After clicking my way through intel.com I all of a sudden saw this little "Note" saying: "The iGFX feature in the graphic processor is not supported in S1200BT family  products."

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-032414.htm

Say what?

I sat around just staring at the text and I did not remember reading anything about not being supported in S1200BT-series before I bought this board (2 months ago).

I guess my lack of 20-20 vision gave me some trouble here. Or am I interpreting that text wrong and infact the VGA-port is working and I am just a complete *** and somehow managed to transform that VGA-cable to a camel which you surely know does not send a working VGA-signal.

Well, way to late now. Will keep investigating in this matter tomorrow.

Feels like I should have gotten myself a Supermicro board. But hey, they probably have their own little quirks, like support for 8GB modules and a working VGA-port...

Just hoping that I am the problem here and not the hardware.

Good night.

I have this cpu installed with Server 2012 R2. I wanted to install the drivers for the p4600 graphics to just do a really basic RemoteFX run. I know it is far from optimal but still wanted to just try it out. I found a driver for the p4600 graphics here Download Intel HD Graphics P4600/P4700 Driver 9.18.10.3222 64-bit for Windows XP 64 bit, Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 64 bit.

However when I went to go add the driver through device manager it only results in a Yellow bang and the device is not usable. The driver installs no problem just the graphics adapter is not fully functioning. Is there a way I can install this driver and get use out of the p4600 graphics on server 2012 r2 or am I SOL?

I appreciate any help thank you.

I have an S5520UR that won't boot and I suspect that it might not have the required bios for use with a 5600 series processor. I can't even get into the bios to confirm this though. How can I determine which bios revision was shipped on the board based on the serial number or PBA?

Hi Folks,

On paper I can see the differenc between the X5460 and E5450 (namely 120W vs 80W and 3.16Ghz vs 3.00Ghz).

But can someone help with information like the following:

Are there any major differences between the chips in their spec and expected compute power?

Does anyone have benchmarks to compare the two?

Thanks,

Gerald

After spending some time I noticed that if I connect all the fans, the System Status LED with amber light blinking problem goes away.

I think that i need only CPU fan plus two other fans. How do I suppress this apparently spurious warning? I need to do this because if there is some other event leading to a degraded system, I will not be able to distinguish that condition from this one.
