Is intel celeron processor 900 good?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:34:27 GMT

Hi, I have a intel celeron processor 900 in my toshiba L305-S5947 and I was wondering if it was good for gaming? If not, is there a way I can change it?

Sonic Focus driver

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 23:53:22 GMT

During a Windows XP update, something happened and I got BSOD. After that, one of my programs said I needed "Sonic Focus drivers" etc. I have traced that to Intel Audio Studio, which will not execute...same message...need Sonic Focus drivers.

I have checked the Intel driver update for my board (D975XBX) and located the update that also re-intalls Audio Studio (

Audio: IDT* 92XX Driver5790.3v225/22/2008). The release notes say that

2. Intel Audio Studio does not support over-install or repair features. When update Intel Audio Studio, you must first uninstall the current driver before installing the new version.

Well, I don't think the driver is there anymore since I get this message that I need to install the driver, but I am not sure. Further checking of the Intel site to find where the driver might be didn't really help (e.g. device manger -- audio -- a bunch of codec stuff none of which is "sonic focus" and all of which is supposedly "working properly."

So, can I install this new driver? Do I need to unistall Audio Studio first?

TIA.

Unable to Provision Windows 7 via SCCM

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:57:28 GMT

Hi all,

We have a Server 2008 R1 with SCCM 2007 R2 SP2 w/ WS Trans Mgmt installed and configrued. All is well and he have multiple Windows XP SP3 systems running on Lenovo T400 AMT 4.1.3 firmware. The issue we are having is with Windows 7 clients. The status that is showing up in SCCM is "Not Supported" and the logs for provisioing are below. I have bolded the item i think is the culprit.

The only option available, aside from divorcing the client from the site, is to in-band provision this machine via the ConfigMgr Client Agent. The oobmgmt.log on the client contains only success messages with nothing to indicate any problem. The AMT, SOL / ME Drivers were all installed correctly on the Windows 7 machine. The hash is also verified below as being in the ME BIOS.

After much review, i stumbled upon a document from technet stating that In-Band Provisioning via the SCCM SP2 agent is NOT SUPPORTED for Windows 7. The article can be reached here (Scroll down to the section regarding Out of Band Management toward the bottom).

Is this true? Can Windows 7 clients NOT be in-band Provisioned???

Thanks!

Which motherboards have Intel VT-d support?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 10:26:35 GMT

I have been looking for weeks now for some list/specification on which Intel motherboards have support for VT-d. Iv found an unoficial list at some forum but I want got get the information directly from Intel. I have sent email to Intel and got the reply that "we do not offer interactive presales support." (for cosumer products). I have asked wendors but they dont know what Im talking about or refer to each motherboards specification on the Intel web site. I have looked at the specifications for motherboards and there is no information if it supports VT-d or not. Why is this so difficult?

Please mr Expert, do you know where to find this information?

SRCSAS18E Issues

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:42:03 GMT

purchased a new Intel SAS RAID controller and have tried to impliment some things with mixed results

Below are the details about the SAS HBA.

GUI launches but has no hosts to connect to.

2) ESX. I was hoping to use this RAID controller nativly with ESX VMware-VMvisor-Installer-4.0.0.Update01-208167.x86_64

It sees the 4.5 TB space but when you go to add the storage you it only displays "useable 554GB" and even from shell console, fdisk of the device shows it as 4.5TB but can only create a partition 554GB in size.

3) Documentation on RAID controller is a bit sparse in relation to a few details. Example: Getting notification of drive failure (predictive failure), is this reported throught the driver to the OS error system etc. and how to test this. Does the server install start a deamon / service /process ID that should be checked if you can't connect to web interface.

SE7520db2 - DDR1 - Boot problems

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:39:08 GMT

I rebooted my server with the original CD that came with the MB in the cd drive. I went back to the server room and saw it booted to the intel cd.

Steps i took.

I turned it off and removed the cd.
Booted back up
Now it no longer sees my SATA or SCSI during boot and also gives me a PXE04 and PXE05 error on post, i have reloaded the BIOS and this did nothing.
Loaded BIos Defaults set sata back to raid mode and still no post data for the contoller

Please help intel no longer supports this board. i called and they said maybe a bios recovery would work.

Any ideas this is gonna ruin my holiday!

Slipstreaming Intel Matrix Storage Drivers in XP Pro

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 00:11:52 GMT

I was hoping someone on this board could help me with slipstreaming Intel's latest Matrix Storage driver into an unattended XP install CD. I am looking to slipstream the files as TEXTMODE drivers, which should make the task easier. Unfortunately, all efforts to do this so far have resulted in failure.

First, before I tried anything, I slipstreamed SP3 into XP, copied my WINNT.SIF file to the I386 directory of the CD, and created a bootable XP unattended install disk that works like a charm. So I know the basic disk works.

Second, I modified this base XP install CD as such:

-At the root of the CD I created a directory called $OEM$ and then created a folder within that called TEXTMODE. Inside this $OEM$\TEXTMODE folder I copied the files from Intel's latest Matrix Storage F6 floppy driver (f6flpy3286.zip):
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?strState=LIVE&ProductID=2842&DwnldID=17061&agr=Y&lang=eng&PrdMap=2842

    TXTSETUP.OEM
    iaahci.cat
    iaAHCI.inf
    iastor.cat
    iaStor.inf
    IaStor.sys

-In the I386 directory of the CD, I created a folder called $OEM$ and once again, copied the contents of Intel's latest F6 floppy (f6flpy3286.zip).

Note: So I now have two directories that hold the contents of Intel's latest F6 floppy: $OEM$\TEXTMODE and I386\$OEM$

-Then I modified the WINNT.SIF by changing the line OEMPreinstall=NO to OEMPreinstall=YES

-Finally, I added the [MassStorageDrivers]* and [OEMBootFiles] sections to the WINNT.SIF as below:

[MassStorageDrivers]
    "Intel(R) ESB2 SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH7M/MDH SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH8R/DH/DO SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH8M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH10D/DO SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH10R SATA AHCI Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ESB2 SATA RAID Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA RAID Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH7MDH SATA RAID Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH8R/ICH9R/ICH10R/DO SATA RAID Controller" = OEM
    "Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller" = OEM
    "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = "RETAIL"

[OEMBootFiles]
    TXTSETUP.OEM
    iaahci.cat
    iaAHCI.inf
    iastor.cat
    iaStor.inf
    IaStor.sys

*The OEM entries under [MassStorageDrivers] came from the [SCSI] section of the TXTSETUP.OEM file.

-After all this, I make a bootable CD like before and test it.

Now, technically, this should work. But each time I've tried it, I get the following error during XP's TEXTMODE setup period:

File TXTSETUP.OEM caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1747 in d:\xpsp\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c.

Does anyone know what needs to be modified to get this to work? I'd rather not use a program like nLite since it makes changes I'm not aware of and I would like to keep this as simple and straightforward as possible.

Intel Pro Set/wireless Zero Config service has encountered a problem

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:38:00 GMT

Recently, I updated my driver for Intel PRo wireless 3945.

After that, there seems to be a conflict, therefore, I aslo update the software for Intel Pro Wireless 3945.

After I restart the computer, there's a message: "Intel Pro Set/wireless Zero Config service has encountered a problem and needs to close". What further can I do? I'm running Win XP SP3. Beore the driver update, the version I'm using is prob. 10.x.

Can S5520SC Support Concurrent RAID 0 and RAID 5 Volumes?

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 15:58:51 GMT

Last week I was experimenting with a Dell Optiplex 960 making RAID configurations. On a 2-disk system I found it relatively easy to use Intel's Matrix Storage Manager in the BIOS to configure two volumes (virtual disks) on the array - one was RAID 0, the other was RAID 1.

Last Friday I was trying to set up my S5520SC system (with 5 disks), and had a really frustrating time. First off it's hard to get to the RAID setting in the BIOS, you have to diable quiet boot mode (which makes no sense). Then when I got into the RAID settings they were not the nice Intel Matrix Storage Manager I used on the Dell, they were a really crummy interface that was confusing to use. After many tries I was able to configure two volumes of RAID 0, or two volumes of RAID 5; but I could find no way to make one volume RAID 0 and the other volume RAID 5. Can anyone confirm whether it is possible to configure the S5520SC this way? This must be a BIOS limitation because both the S5520SC and Dell Optiplex 960 use the same ICH10R. Are there plans to fix the BIOS in a new update?

Is the reason for this difference in BIOS because the S5520SC is EFI and the Dell is not?

I also tried using the bootable CD with the GUI based setup utilities. The utilities are great if you want to update the BIOS, but they are even worse than the BIOS RAID setup. They are increadibly confusing and limited. Are there any plans to fix this in a new version? I was using version 3.1. In any case I had even less luck setting up a working RAID with these utilities.

Cheers, Eric

Xeon L3014 - Intel AT80588JH0563M

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:53:18 GMT

Hello,

on my search for a very efficient CPU I stumbled over the Intel Xeon L3014 , as I´m a bit unsure about its exact specifications, here are some questions:

Here you can see that it´s listed as "compatible" for the Intel 3210 Chipset: http://ark.intel.com/Platforms.aspx?platform=33251&mode=true

Also the 3210 Chipset is listed as "compatible" here: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=36892 (next to the 3200 and 5100 Chipset)

I found some contradictorily results: this source says "LGA775" http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Low%20voltage%20Xeon%20L3014%20-%20AT80588JH0563M.html

this source says "LGA771" http://www.supplyframe.com/datasheet-pdf/component/intel/AT80588JH0563M-datasheet?id=1612364

Unfortunately I can´t find explicit informations about this CPU on the Intel Hompages.

In a nutshell: is the Xeon L3014 compatible with the 3210 Chipset and hence comes in LGA775 or is it a LGA771 CPU?

If it´s a LGA771 CPU, why one can see it as "compatible" with the 3210 Chipset?

Thank you.

Regards Michael

INTEL SS4200-E concerns

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:35:36 GMT

Guys i just purchased this network storage device, and i think i made the wrong choice. I would really need your help on answering some questions.

-Is it absolutely nesecary to implement raid on the drives installed? Cause i dont need RAID. I only care about utilizing 100% disk space of the drives, i dont want mirroring and backups and stuff.

-Does each drive need to be formatted upon insertion or can you have data on them. Cause 2 of the 4 Disks I intend to use,contain data and they're almost full. One of them has less than 8 GB disk space left.

-Are the drives reformatted on linux format? Does that meann i wasted 8 hours of my day formatting 2x1.5TB Seagate drives on NTFS format?

Please give me some hope, cause if what i fear is about to happen, that would be highly inconvenient.

intel SE7520BD2 (SATAD2) / SC5200 chassis with BIOS/Fan issue

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:38:57 GMT

Hi Guru's and trouble-shooters, we’ve had this server for some time now and it's been slowly tearing a hole in our eardrums. The fans, they won't slow down. I've searched the internets and this forum and tried every suggestion I’ve come across but still no cake.

What am I doing wrong?

AMIBIOS version: SE7520BD23.86B.P.03.00.0019

Build: 10/20/05

Server Details...

Intel SE7520BD2 (SATAD2), 2 xeon 2.8 with 2 gb RAM

ServerBoard: D10351-450

BMC Device ID: 20

BMC Firmware: 0240

BMC Device Revision: 01

FRUSDR Package Version: 6.6.G

Chassis: Intel SC5200 (4RU rack mount)

Nosey rear Fans: ASSY A96870-001 WW01-05

I have managed to load BIOS update (BIOS_P03.zip) with success.

I have also tried to install BIOS update (BIOS_P82.zip) but failed due to a RomID error.

I also attempted and failed at these fix's/update from searching the Intel website downloads for my server board.

(SE7520BD2_66GFRUSDR.zip) FRUSDR Configuration Utility

(P09BIOS.zip) Intel(R) Server Board SE7520BD2 BIOS Build 0075

I found the Intel server configuration wizard and ran that, but get a password mismatch error at the business end...

Output extract from 'Intel server configuration wizard version 2.1.6'

>Writing byte to BMC internal Flash...

>Please enter a value for password (Q to Quit)

Trouble is, there has never been a password set, and I have tried doing both password clear jumpers and BIOS clear jumper sequences, and i still get asked for the password in the configuration wizard.

I do not see anything to do with acoustic management or fan speed in the BIOS.

I am running Ubuntu Karmic Koala, lm-sensors can detect the pc87427 device, and display the following constantly.

>pc87427-isa-0700

>Adapter: ISA adapter

>fan1: 4313 RPM (min = 0 RPM)

>fan3: 5672 RPM (min = 0 RPM)

>fan4: 5555 RPM (min = 0 RPM)

>fan5: FAULT (min = 0 RPM)

>fan7: FAULT (min = 0 RPM)

>fan8: 5672 RPM (min = 0 RPM)

I believe this is a read only module as this chip is yet unsupported by Linux. So a software solution won't work.

It’s also worth mentioning, that not all fans in the system stay at 100% after power up.

I hear the internal system fans slow down, these are connected via a 6p/5c connecter.

The rear fans connected via 3p/3c connectors. All fans have two plugs (for compatibility I assume),

A 3p/3c and a 6p/5c. I could change the rear fans from SYSFAN5 & SYSFAN6 to CPUFAN1 & CPUFAN2, but the CPU fan sockets are a 4pin, not a 3 or 6 like the fans are. (No CPU fans are fitted, there is a duct to the rear two fans)

Any help would be muchly appreciated, and sorry for the large post, I just figured I’d cover what I had tried.

SSH access to NAS SS4200-E device

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:15:00 GMT

Hi folks,

I bought the SS4200-E NAS device and installed 4x 1TB WD EADS Caviar Green harddisks in RAID5.

I would like to have access to the device itself via SSH. Initially I had to update my firmware from

1.0.8.29352 to 1.1.11.32736 and succeeded when I used IE instead of Firefox. I installed also the
updated corresponding EMC Software respectively on my PC.

According to other threads I need to login to the NAS via http://nas_ip_address/support.html,

in order to enable SSH, but it does not work. I always come to the normal index site with the standard GUI.

I cannot find a SSH switch anywhere.

Has anybody expeirenced the same problem? Maybe I have to take the workaround via RS232 interface.

Thanks,

SinorRossi

Intel i7-920 temperature

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:22:43 GMT

I have the i7-920 cpu running on DX58SO Intel motherboard. I have the following problem for the second time.

I am running windows xp sp2 and i have intel desktop control center (last version) installed, when i go to check the cpu temperature it shows 127triangleT, whitch mean no temperature because the black arrow is on the beginning of the green and not the red.

when i go to the bios i see the temperature of the cpu 0c...........

my pc is fine i don't see any problem with the heat

ambiant 35c

cpu voltage regulator temperature 40c

IOH 43c

fans are all running fine, by the way this happened to me twice, 1 on the original bios and now on the updated bios so i don't think it's from the bios.

also if it's the cpu connector fan how it could be that it happened before...than worked normal than happening now?

so i really don't know where is the problem..is it from IDCC (intel desktop control center)?

I would like to have some answers especially from the intel forum

thanks

SCCM SP1 Out of Band Mgmt AMT Client Settings

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 07:53:03 GMT

We are deploying a lot of new clients. Dell hasn't out a AMT 3.2 version yet on their clients wich is required for SCCM Out of Band Mgmt. So we can't test the integration with SCCM SP1 Beta.

We must order the clients now and don't know the required AMT Client Settings. We want to set all the settings by our OEM (Dell) before the hardware delivery.

We have an internal Microsoft Enterprise Root CA. We want to use Remote Configuration. When not required we want to use internal certificates and not official certificates.

What settings are required in the AMT Bios that we can automatically integrate our clients to SCCM SP1 Out of Band Mgmt?

Do we need to import the Root CA from our internal MS Enterprise Root CA on the AMT Clients or can we do this over Remote Configuration? Are any other settings requires? (Passwords, Ent. Mode, Provision Server)

Thanks and best regards

HP dc7700: ME can not be configured to use AMT

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:29:41 GMT

Hello.
I have a DC7700 here, which passes the "Intel vPro Technology Test Utility" ( http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-1171#Intel_vPro_Technology_Test_Utility), but there is no menu in the ME to actually configure it.

I successfully configured DC7800 and 7900 in basic mode with fixed ip-adress, so i have some experience concerning the involved menus.

I updated to the latest bios-version and the latest me-version, but this achieved nothing.

One thing is a bit special, we are running a custom bios-setup with customized pci-irqs. i attached the file "cpqsetup.txt".

Anybody seen this before?

Thanks & bye

SS4200-E and JBOD using my disks

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:21:08 GMT

I own 2 HDDs that i used them on a NAS that is broken cause of power failure and now i want to buy a new one and I think the SS4200-E is the best solution for me but i have some questions...

1. Can i use SS4200-E in JBOD mode or i have to use it in RAID mode only?

2. If yes, can I create sheres on all disks or only the first one and others are public?

3. Are my disks compatible with this model? Cause in the compatibility list i found only max 1GB Seagate disk but in the store the specifications of the NAS are for 2GB disks... :S

my disk models are: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, ST31500341AS (1500GB) & Seagate Barracuda LP ST31500541AS (1500GB)

I want to use theese disks on the NAS to have 3TB to store and maybe soon i will add another one so the storage will be 4.5TB. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance

SE7520BD2 and FRU/SDR - no fan throttling

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:24:17 GMT

Hello,

i tried to flash the FRU/SDR on my SE7520BD2 (DDR2) a million times with various fan configurations but nothing seems to get down the CPU fan speed.

The chassis is a chenbro SR107. Two front fans are connected at FAN1 (3pin) and one rear fan (3pin) is connected at port 5. There are 2 Intel Boxed CPU-fans (4pin) installed. FAN1 + FAN5 i selected as "analog" fans in FRU/SDR update. For CPU1+2 fan i tried digital and analog fan - same result.

I know the chassis is validated and i've seen much Boards working fine with this chassis. So what can be the problem?

There is an IMM Advanced installed. I also flashed the latest BIOS and BMC using the latest update package. This worked fine.

PS: I also tried to flash with no chassis fans connected - just the both CPU fans, but that did not change anything.

Any ideas?

Those fans are really annoying ;-)

Thx in advance!

Intel Active Management Technology Status: Disabled

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 14:40:23 GMT

Hi,

I am new to AMT vPro technology and just now testing it out on a new Dell 755 workstation. Initially, I attempted to provision the workstation in Enterprise mode, but was not having any luck with that. As a test, I switched to SMB mode and found that I can't access the web interface. I have been on the phone with Landesk support as well as Dell tech support to no avail.

After enabling vpro in the MEBx BIOS extension, I get the following status messages:

MT version 3.0.5.1125
Intel AMT enabled
Intel AMT not configured
Inventory Update
Field Replaceable Unit List:

Also, after logging into Windows XP, I get the following popup:

"Intel Active Management Technology status: Disabled"

Also, I get the following error in the event log:

Source: Intel AMT
Category: UNS
Description: UNS Failed to subscribe to the local Intel AMT.

Following is a list of the troubleshooting steps I have tried so far:

Flashed the BIOS to version A08
Upgraded the MEBx from 3.0.2.0004 to 3.0.5.1125
Installed/reinstalled the Intel ME Interface (HECI) drivers
Installed/reinstalled the Intel AMT SOL/ LMS drivers
Reinstalled the NIC driver software
Unprovisioned/reprovisioned the workstation several times.
Reset the CMOS with jumper and by physically removing the battery.
Confirmed the AMT configuration settings with both Dell and Landesk tech support.

As you can see, I have invested a significant amount of time in troubleshooting on my own and with tech support. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.

SCCM Certificates required for child sites?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:18:20 GMT

Good Afternoon all,

I am attempting to configure Wake on Lan for a customer who has multiple sites. We have purchased a provisioning cert from GoDaddy for the Central site server which also sefrves as the OOB management point for the site. So far provisioning has hit a few bumps (I'll be posting seperately about that) but some machines are provisioning. The site architechture is pretty simple. There is a central site with a few secondary sites below it, and a primary site below the central site, which also has some secondary sites below it. My question is, do I need to purchase another cert for the OOB management point in the primary site below the central site? If not, do I just import the sert I have now into the primary servers store?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Windows 2008 on I7-860 (LGA1156) on a ASUS P7P55D motherboard

davevasquez@comcast.net — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:36:54 GMT

I needed a new Windows 2008 server in order to develop and test things like Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. I went to my local MicroCenter and they suggested an Intel I7-860 (LGA1156) on a ASUS P7P55D motherboard. Initially I tried the 64 install which gave many errors during installation. I then did the I386 install which worked better but it isn't perfect. Currently I am having problems loading the network driver that comes on the ASUS board. Am I barking up the wrong tree with this combination? Should this be a 64 bit installation? Is there another processor that you could suggest that would work on this board? Putting the equipment together was pretty simple. Once I started to install the software I encountered issues. I would generally just buy a server from Dell but I was really trying to save some bucks here.

AMT Web UI - SCCM Provisioned

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:15:34 GMT

Hi all!

I am having difficulty obtaining access to the Web UI on an SCCM provisioned device. I can successfully reach the Web UI at https://FQDN:16993

When i try to login however, the AMT Accounts i specified in SCCM are not working. I found a post by Trevor at http://communities.intel.com/thread/3037 outlining a similar situation. I have tried logging into the web ui from the SCCM server without success. I have tried inputing the registry key required by the KB article but that did not work as well. I have confirmed that the Kerberos ticket IS issued however the ticket is issued to an SPN of HTTP/FQDN and not HTTP/FQDN:PORT. Is this correct?

example

HTTP/laptop.domain.com instead of HTTP/laptop.domain.com:16993

I have verified that the SPN's for the OOB object in AD (created during the provision process) contains SPN's for 16992,16993,16994,16995

I have included a network sniff below showing what is going on. Anybody experience this at all?

OOB Management Console Connects to AMT-Based Computers but Does Not Display Information

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:40:17 GMT

I used SCCMSP1 (build 4.00.6181.1000) provision with AMT 3.2.1 successfully and can remote power on/off AMT machine. When the out of band management console connects to the selected

AMT-based computer but console does not display any information. I check <ConfigMgrInstallationPath>\AdminUI\AdminUILog\Oobconsole.log. It indicate below reason: "GetAMTPowerState fail with result:0x80070035." This

could be a configuration issue in the AMT-based computer's BIOS extensions for

serial over LAN and IDE redirection. But I double check the setting and make sure enable "user name and password" for the serial over LAN and IDE redirection. Any wrong on the setting?

Thanks!

CPU for LGA775 Fileserver

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:56:05 GMT

Hello,

I try to repost my query which wasn´t much frequented in the Processor Section:

At the moment I´m building a Fileserver for approx. 5 users, so far the system looks like this:

Intel S3210SHLC

4x1GB DDR2 ECC Micron

main purpose is fileserving, backups and encryption via Truecrypt.

As Truecrypt multithreads very well I´m looking for a decent Quad-Core for enough troughput. I´m pondering now between the Intel Xeon X3330

(2,66 Ghz / 6MB / 1333FSB) and the X3350 / X3360 ( with 12MB L2 Cache)

Would the difference between 6 and 12MB L2 Cache be noticeable? The price premium for the 12MB L2 model would be around ~ 70€ , so it is a big difference (almost 50% more expensive than the 6MB model)

I appreciate any help.

Intel VT-x virtualization + Sun VirtualBox

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 22 May 2009 08:20:37 GMT

I want to install a 64bit operating system to Sun's VirtualBox. It is mandatory to check VT-x/AMD-V under General setting, otherwise the 64bit guest will fail to detect the cpu and won't be able to boot. I checked that, but after trying to boot VirtualBox says that VT-x hardware acceleration has been enablet, but is not operational. It says that this feature should enabled in BIOS. However, there are no settings in my BIOS that could enable it and my vendor was not quite helpful. Is there any other way enable it or the BIOS is the only solution?

Whether Intel Q9400 processor having VT technology? – Not able to run VMware ESX 3.5

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:13:21 GMT

Hi,

I have bought new Desktop PC, configuration details are:

Processor details:

Host Operating System: Dual OS -- Window 2008 Server 64bit and Vista Ultimate 64 bit

I have installed VMware workstation 6.5.2, in this when I try to create a new virtual machine ESX 3.5 – it does not works. It says 2 popup error messages: (This happens in both the operating system)

While power on the virtual machine (VM) in workstation, in the right corner pop up menu like this:” THIS HOST DOES NOT SUPPORT VT: your have configured this virtual machine to use a 64-bit guest OS. However, this host is not capable of running 64-bit VM or this VM has 64-bit support is disabled – whether VT is available in this. If so, how to enable it?

2. While creating a VM in the workstation, I try to select the 64bit OS, in the bottom of this window it says, “This host will not support 64bit guest operating system” – what its mean to say? -- Whether Q9400 is 64 bit support OS. If so, why this error occurs??

I have communicated with VMware team regarding this: see the below link before u response

Balance between performance and power best CPU option

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:28:20 GMT

Hello,

Looking to buy new laptop which will come with three different CPU options, these are the slime line laptops.

First option Su4100 with shared graphic, claim to have 10 hours batter life

Second option Su7300 with shared or dedicated graphic

Third option SP9300 with dedicated graphic.

Assuming all other spec are the same

I need to keep a good balance between performance, battery life and processor temperature.

Do you have any recommendation for me, considering the difference in price is no issue?

Thanks

Help needed with Intel Pro Wireless 2200 BG

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:21:21 GMT

This device is on a Dell laptop and I have had no trouble at all for years. Now suddenly the computer does not recognize the wireless connection although the main window indicates an excellent connection. The computer is unable to connect to the internet using the "excellent" wireless connection. The internet is fine when I connect using the ethernet connection, but not the wireless. All indications are that the wireless connection is OK, except it just doesn't hook up with the internet anymore. Dell Inspiron Windows xp 4 years old and till now worked perfectly.

Any ideas?

mbrinkman@us.ibm.com — Sat, 16 May 2009 01:30:38 GMT

Wanted to know if anyone here has tried out one IBM's new servers. I was on the team that developed the new UEFI code stack for these servers and would like to get first impressions from the community. This was a large effort and will provide many avenues for innovation as we go forward. I would be also interested in any new functions that you would like to have in the pre-boot or systems management areas of your system.

S5000PSL / IRMM2 virtual DVD problem

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:09:45 GMT

Hi I am installing W2K8R2 on a system with a S5000PSL board.

I am using the IRMM2 virtual ISO mount option to mount the W2K8R2 DVD ISO image.

I have two problems:

1. The system will boot from the virtual DVD, but during the installation Windows will report an error that the CD/DVD driver cannot be loaded.

2. If I later want to read data from the mounted DVD, the mounted filesystem is not UDF, and all I see is the ISO9660 text file that tells me I need to look at the DVD using an OS that supports UDF.

I had to install W2K8R2 by copying the DVD contents to a USB key.

Are there any solutions to improving the virtual ISO mounting?

Regards

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:47:55 GMT

Hi there!

I'm trying to recover the data on my RAID 5 that was in my SS4200-E unit.

I plugged in the 3 working drives to a PC, and ran Runtime Software RAID Reconstructor on it.

However, I still cannot find the RAID 5 array, and is asking for some RAID 5 parameters:

Block Size: 4KB?

Parity Rotation: Foward/Backward/Backward(Dynamic Disk)??

Start Sectors to probe: (it auto-suggested 7,15)

Number of Sectors to probe: (it suggested 10000)

Or does anyone know of another utility that might be able to recover the data from the RAID5 disks?

Any help is greatly apprecaited!

Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless version compatability issue

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:58:03 GMT

This message may seem too straight forward to question, but I'm confused. It seems to recommend downgrading the driver version. I would just look for the older version, but I have trust issues with wizards and error messages and it just doesn't seem right.

The message is as follows:

Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software version 11.5.0.0 does not support Intel(R)

PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection device driver version 12.2.0.11.

Please either update the driver to one of the following versions:
11.1.0.x;11.1.x;11.2.0.x;11.5.0.x.

Or install version 10.0.0.x of Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software

Intel Hot Swap Backplane Controller Firmware Update firmware update crashes with S3200SHC

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 29 May 2009 00:06:59 GMT

Hardware AXX6DRV3GEXP F/W 2.02 , S3200SHC BIOS 47, BMC .31,HSC 2.02 & SDR 13., Adaptec 3405

I'm updating through the IPMB cable and can't get the AXX6DRV3GEXP firmware from 2.02 to 2.09. I've followed Aryan's instructions (http://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-3013) , downloaded the new ipmi.efi. Using the EFI shell, the new ipmi.efi file loads without issue, but as soon as I start the EFIRUN.NSH file it errors out immediately with," 'fwpiaupd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". In DOS, the update process starts but it always errors out, (see attached error logs). I've tried with drives in/out, sata cables connected/disconected, Raid card in/out etc.....

Any ideas would be appreciated.

WinSrv 2008 R2 and Intel Pro/1000 GT quad-port nic, slow iscsi format.

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:38:59 GMT

WinSrv 2008 R2 and Intel Pro/1000 GT quad-port nic, slow iscsi format.

We have two (2) Windows 2008 R2 Servers with the Intel Pro/1000 GT Quad Port server adapter. They are both connected to a SAN through iScsi connections, but when we format a 600gb drive on the lun, we get around 6-10 IO/sec. Total format time of the 600gb is around 7-8 minutes.

We have forced the 2008 Intel drivers to control the cards, as well as the “in box” Microsoft drivers for the cards, without any luck. All the drivers we have tested resulted in the same numbers for formatting.

On a side note, we hooked up a Windows 2008 Server to the same lun and formatted the 600gb partition in a matter of seconds, with the intel drivers installed.

Anyone else seen this with their cards, and have a fix ?

Thanks

AMT Provisioning hell

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:53:31 GMT

Hi all,

Am having major issues with getting clients to provision, with a couple of different error messages. I've read through a lot of the posts on this forum and have been pulling my hair out for days now (pulling hair doesn't fix it).

One client is AMT version 4.0.8 the other is 3.2.1. I am using an internally provisioned certificate as this is a proof of concept before purchasing a 3rd party cert later on. For the AMT 4.0.8 client, provisioning almost works, the client certificate is issued and the object is created in AD, but then the process fails. Here is the relevent portion of the log:

Teaming NIC PRO 1000/MT in windows Server 2008 R2

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:46:33 GMT

The Intel PRO 1000/MT has (today ?) no "full support" in Windows Server 2008 R2 ; that is : each NIC est recognized by OS and functionnal, but we can't built a team, because Intel Advanced Network Software (ANS) is not available.

More, on my DELL PowerEdge 2850 (with 4 PRO 1000/MT), no PCI-express slot, then i can't install more recent NIC which has full support (like 1000/PT).

A server hardware with server software and with server NICs but no server teaming functionality ?

Does it means I have to replace all my Intel NIC with Broadcom NIC which has teaming support in 2008 R2 ?

Thanks for your help

Intel SE7520BD2

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 00:28:36 GMT

Hello to eveyone as this is my first post here. I have been fighting this issue for 3 days now and I am ready to quit.

One of our new servers, motherboard SE7520BD2, 2 xeon 2.8 with 1 gb RAM, chassis type SC5295WS, .

Chassis fan is running on full speed all the time. I have seen these servers run and they are only supposed to do this on start up (or in extreme heat cases).

I have tried a lot of things, intel server management software was run before install, FRUSDR utility was also run and all the right info was inputed.

Nothing seems to help, fan runs on high all the time and it is very annoying. BIOS has no options as far as the fan goes.

Thank you in advance for help.

S3200SHV/S3210SHLC RAID

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 07:56:11 GMT

I have a brand new S3210SHLC server board that I should like to use with a RAID 1 two-disk array and Linux (Debian) O/S.

The documentation refers to a BIOS configuration untility for RAID. It says that there should be a "ctrl-e" prompt to configure RAID. But there is no such prompt, and ctrl-e does nothing. On boot, prompts are [esc]-view diagnostics, [f2]-configure bios, [f12]-network boot.

Looking through the [f2]-bios configuration, there is: advanced->configure SATA, and I have set SATA-enabled, Configure SATA-as RAID, and set the intel matrix storage option. These options, together with the documentation provided on the CD might lead one to believe that Intel firmware RAID is included with this board, but I now suspect that in fact it is NOT included. And that I should move on to look at OS-dependant software RAID, rather than the pre-OS RAID mentioned in the documentation.

I have booted from the CD and updated to latest BIOS and so on.

Instalaltion media do not "see" a RAID array, only two separate disks.

If firmware RAID is NOT included with this board, then why would it be shown in the documentation for the board, and in BIOS configuration? For a server board, is this not significantly misleading?

If anyone can further enlighten me as to the true capabilities of the board, I would be much obliged.

regards to all, Tim Johnston.

82567LM network card drivers do not detect NIC in Windows Server 2008

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 22:18:46 GMT

I have a HP EliteBook 8530w Mobile Workstation which has an Intel 82567LM ICH9M Gigabit NIC.

I am installing Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 64-bit.

Using either the HP driver or the generic Intel driver achieves the same results.

It does not detect the card. "No Intel network cards installed."

Device Manager shows the Intel Network Controller with no driver.

Everest Ultimate detects the card.

But the driver cannot.

DQ45CB - CPU & case fan speed (QST)

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:23:43 GMT

Hi there,

I recently upgrade my stock cpu fan with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro ( http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_42&mID=72) and two case fans Arctic Fan 9 PWM ( http://www.arctic-cooling.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=3_47_65&mID=109 ). The behavior of the mainboard is a little bit strange to me so I will describe it here in case anyone has more information to bring some light into this.

As you can see on the Arctic Cooling website you can daisy chain those fans which I did. The result was the fans were running pretty quiet and the fan speed was reported around 650 RPM. I tried to put some load on the system (prime95) and the cpu temeprature went up but the fans were still spinning at the same rate. No matter what I tried in terms of load I couldn't make them spin faster. The core temperature reported was around 60 C (using CoreTemp utility). I'm not sure if this a normal behavior or not on this mainboard. On the older boards I used the speed of fans was increasing with the load. Then I tried something else. I left on the CPU fan socket connected only the Freezer 7 Pro and connect the other two PWM fans on the 3 pins headers from the mainboard (front & rear ). The result was the CPU fan is running now around 900 RPM and sits there no matter what load I add to it. The core temperature is the same , around 60C. The interesting thing happened with the case fans which now are spinning between 900 - 1700 RPM and changing the speed every 1 or 2 seconds. So basically they spin up and then down every second or two which is annoying and generate a lot of noise too. Do you think there is an incompatibility of some sort between those fans and the mainboard ? They are brand new and I test them on a different system (Asus mainboard) and they perform normal there. Also I went into BIOS and I was playing with the Fan Control settings which for me didn't change anything as far as I can see in the reporting fan speeds . I went also into the Maintenance mode of BIOS and enable "Unlock QST" feature but without any visible changes to me. Then I tried to disable the QST from the AMT menus but this didn't work at all. I tried couple of times and it seems to be consistent : as soon as I change the QST setting into Disabled and the system restarts the fans are start spinning at full speed, and the system doesn't post anymore. The only way to bring it back to life is to reset the CMOS by removing the battery. Anyone else notice this ?

I'm running the latest BIOS from Jan 22 I think on the board and the CPU I have is a Q9650.

Thanks for any hint you might have !

Jim.

S5000PAL Not booting

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:56:28 GMT

I've got a S5000PAL sitting in an Antec Titan case with a 650Watt ATX PSU

The 20+4 connector and CPU power connections are seated correctly and everything seems to be installed correctly. When I turn power on, the Blue LED flashes briefly and two green LED's come on (one blinks Green/Amber for a while then settles to full green) and the front power switch is connected on the front panel pins correctly (I've re-checked this a number of times)

When I press the power button switch on the front though nothing happens. No system/CPU fan and no activity.

Can you give me any guidance? The board is brand new!

SCCM SP1, AMT and Omnino III provisioning problems

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:44:27 GMT

I'm trying to provision our Viglen Omnino III's (AMT 5.1) for Out-of-Band management with SCCM SP1. We're using an internal CA. I have created a setup.bin using the Manageability Director Tool, using the 'Remote Configuration' to create ad export the setup.bin to a usb key. After a lot of struggle the test client finally moved off the 'detected' status to 'unsupported'.

SCCM does recognize the hash key, and the Provision task does run. But it throws errors :

"Failed to send TLS client hello message to server with errorcode=0x2733." and "**** Error 0x19fb95c returned by ApplyControlToken" and "Fail to connect and get core version of machine amttest.xx.local using provisioning account #0.".

When I trigger a Management Controller Discovery, I get the following errors:

"CAMTDiscoveryWSMan::DoConnectToAMTDevice: Failed to establish tcp session to 192.168.0.11:16992." and "CAMTDiscoveryWSMan::DoConnectToAMTDevice: Failed to establish tcp session to 192.168.0.11:16993."

For the purpose of this exercise, I have removed the firewalls.

Pointing a browser to 192.168.0.11:16992 or 16993 results in a 'webpage cannot be displayed' message.

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Slipstreaming Intel Matrix Storage Drivers in XP

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 02:38:58 GMT

Second, I modified this base XP install CD as such:

-At the root of the CD I created a directory called $OEM$ and then created a folder within that called TEXTMODE. Inside this $OEM$\TEXTMODE folder I copied the files from Intel's latest F6 floppy (f6flpy3286.zip):
    TXTSETUP.OEM
    iaahci.cat
    iaAHCI.inf
    iastor.cat
    iaStor.inf
    IaStor.sys

-In the I386 directory of the CD, I created a folder called $OEM$ and once again, copied the contents of Intel's latest F6 floppy (f6flpy3286.zip).

Note: So I now have two directories that hold the contents of Intel's latest F6 floppy: $OEM$\TEXTMODE and I386\$OEM$

-Then I modified the WINNT.SIF by changing the line OEMPreinstall=NO to OEMPreinstall=YES

-Finally, I added the [MassStorageDrivers]* and [OEMBootFiles] sections to the WINNT.SIF as below:

[OEMBootFiles]
    TXTSETUP.OEM
    iaahci.cat
    iaAHCI.inf
    iastor.cat
    iaStor.inf
    IaStor.sys

*The OEM entries under [MassStorageDrivers] came from the [SCSI] section of the F6 floppy's TXTSETUP.OEM file.

-After all this, I make a bootable CD like before and test it.

Now, technically, this should work. But each time I've tried it, I get the following error during XP's TEXTMODE install period:

"File TXTSETUP.OEM caused an unexpected error (18) at line 1747 in d:\xpsp\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c."

Does anyone know what needs to be modified to get this to work?

BTW, I'd rather not use a program like nLite since it makes changes I'm not aware of and I would like to keep this as clean, simple and straightforward as possible.

DG45ID - Intel VT Support

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:16:00 GMT

I have a Intel DG45ID motherboard on which I'd like to run Server 2008 and Hyper-V.

I bought a Q8200 processor which I know know doesn't support VT. I have recently learned that both Q8200 and Q8300 processors lack VT technology support (Contrary to intels website, which a few weeks back suggested all Quad cores came with VT support).

My question is will the DG45ID motherboard support VT if I provide it with a VT processor such as a Q9300?

(See here for VT capable Quad cores: http://processorfinder.intel.com/List.aspx?ParentRadio=All&ProcFam=2774&SearchKey)

I can not see any settings in the BIOS which suggest its VT capable. Perhaps it requires a VT processor before showing any VT options but I'd like an expert to confirm it before i part with a few hundred dollars for a new proc

Connection name, DNS name, certificate name mismatch, etc

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:43:24 GMT

hi everyall,

I have some problems with my computers. When i'm connect to my AMT computers with Intel Manageability Commander tool , i have this warning "Connection name, DNS name, certificate name mismatch." So when I try to connect to my computer by script, i can not connect to AMT .

For renew certificate and connection, etc .. I think I must do unprovision partial my computers or it's possible to inject new certificate ? . So I used UnprovisionEx intel application, but can not work because it not connect to AMT for TLS reasons. Somebody have a script for partial unprovision computers ?? I managed my computers with Intel SCS.

I am just a home user trying to setup a media server, and i have done something to my BIOS, and now when my pc boots up, i get the following;

Found unconfigure of Intel ME....

Continue with unconfiguration (Y/N)

If i select N, sometimes get a bunch of stuff around table mismatch. Sometimes will boot into OS. Mostly boots into OS once N selected.

If i select Y, the PC reboots and the whole thing starts again.

I have reflashed bios so many times, and taken out coin battery etc. Have set BIOS to optimal etc.

Any suggestions?

Will the SS4200-E EMC Lifeline software be upgraded to version 2?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 05:59:17 GMT

I just purchased a SS4200-E and have seen that the last update to Lifeline that Intel has provided is version 1.11. Version 2 is out and being used with Iomega NAS products now. Will Intel be upgrading the firmware anymore? I noticed printer support was removed too, if there are further upgrades will they be stripped of printer support too? I'm very discouraged by the lack of updates and feature downgrade.

Do you know how the firmware is compressed? It doesn't seem to be a typical gzipped tarball.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Raid Web Console 2 on Windows 2008 R2

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 10:46:08 GMT

Hi,

Did anyone succeed to install the Raid Web Console 2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Server ?

I just tried on 2 servers and the installer fails just after decompression with a generic 1603 error.

I dug deep and it seems to be a problem with the InstallShield Scripting Engine.

I tried the same package on different servers and it only fails on 2008 R2 Servers.

I also tried other LSI based packages (older Raid Web console, Megaraid Storage Manager etc. ) and they all fail in the same way.

Any idea on how to bypass that installshield incompatibility ?

Intel AMT IMSS fails on Windows 7

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:37:28 GMT

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7000 on a HP Compaq dc7900. I was able to successfully download and install the HECI 5.0 driver from HP's website.

The Intel Management and Security Status Application (IMSS), which is a separate download, fails to install, however. This means I can't install the virtual serial port driver, the Local Manageability Service, the User Notification Service, and the AMT status monitor application.

Is this application being updated for Windows 7?
Is there a method of bypassing the operating system check on setup.exe? How can I trick it into thinking it's Windows Vista SP1?

Expiring AMT client certificates

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 13:49:07 GMT

Hello,

I'm curious to understand what happens when an AMT client certificate expires. How does Configuration Manager know to generate and send down a new client certificate before it expires? Does it keep track of this information somewhere? What happens if ConfigMgr is unable to contact the client ahead of time, and the certificate expires .... Will ConfigMgr still be able to connect using digest auth to push down a new cert?

Hi I have just migrated to R2 and I am having an issue with my Team.

I can create a team and set a static IP address and all goes well.

I issue is when I restart my DC which is where this team is configured DNS does service does not start.

I get the following error in the event log.

The DNS Server service terminated with the following error:
The network is not present or not started.

Now I assume this is because the team is not initalized when the service attempts to start.

This Did function correctly using server 2008.

I am using a S5000VSA server board with the latest bios version 98.

I have had a mental breakdown trying to resolve this so your help will be appreciated.

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:14:17 GMT

My computer was manufactured in 2006 and has Intel matrix storage manager v.5.1. Original configuration had (2) 160GB drives with Raid 1 mirror. One drive failed about a year ago and was replaced with a 320GB drive. Raid 1 was reconfigured and since one of the lower volume drives was still utilized, the total volume size was 160GB. A few days ago the other original 160GB drive failed and was replaced with an identical new 320GB drive. Raid 1 was reconfigured again and now utilizing (2) 320GB drives, however now volume size total still shows as 160GB not 320GB. Is there a way to re-create Raid 1 that will increase the volume size to 320GB?

Problems provisioning vPro 5.0.1 clients with SCCM

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:40:04 GMT

Hello

We are in the process of in-band provisioning ~50 vPro Clients (HP dc7900 Ultra Slim Desktop) using SCCM SP1, but having problems.

The AmtOpMgr.log shows the following failure on every client:

SecurityAdministration.SetTlsEnabled finished with HResult = 0x80004005, status = 0x0, clientError = 10.~ ...
Error: Failed to finish critical setup and configuration step. (pProvisionHelper->SetTlsEnabled) ...
Error: Can't finish provision on AMT device WS106.maklerzentrum.ch with configuration code (30)! ...

(The complete log for this machine is attached)

What we have done so far:

Requested a Provisioning-Certificate vom Verisign (this is the content of the subject-field):

CN = srv-hq-1.mydomain.ch
OU = Terms of use at www.verisign.com/rpa (c)05
OU = Intel(R) Client Setup Certificate
O = MyCompany
L = Basel
S = Basel-Stadt
C = CH

The Verisign-Certificate was requested and installed using IIS 7. On export, the option "Include all certificates in the certification path..." was selected. The intermediate and root certificate of VeriSign are valid and installed in the local certificate store.

We set up a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise CA and configured it according to the Technet Documentation and Intel Quickstart Install Guide 1.9
The CA lists issued certificates for all clients that tried provisioning (this is the content of the subject field):

CN = WS106.mydomain.ch
CN = WS106
CN = WS106$iME
CN = Device (UUID: 3E061647-F28E-11DD-BBDA-7D1DFF970023)

The internal CA-Certificate is listed under "Trusted Root Certification Authorities".
The Computer objects in the AD are created in the OU assigned in SCCM (so the permissions for the Site-Server are set correctly on the OU)

DHCP Options 6 and 15 are set correctly (6 to the AD DNS Server, 15 to mydomain.ch)
The HECI Driver is installed, SCCM reports the AMT Version as "5.0.1" and AMT Status as "Not supported"
The WS-MAN Translater is NOT installed (and has never been)
No one ever accessed the MEBx locally
The Ports 9971 and 16992-15995 are opened on the Clients Firewall (OS is Vista Enterprise SP1)

The SCCM is a single site system, all roles (except some branch distribution points and the site database) are on the same server.

The iAMT-Scan-Tool lists the AMT Setup Status as "In process" (see the attachment)

Does anyone have an idea what is wrong here?

Best Regards and thanks in advance

SS4200-EHW Windows Home Server

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:54:04 GMT

I have bought an Intel entry level SS4200-EHW server. I have been trying to install Windows Home Server and it always fails with the message, "The system cannot find the path specified, error code 0x80070003."

I then check the log and it reports that it is unable to find qs.ini. All the notes I have been able to find about this problem indicates that you must leave the installation CD in the CD-ROM drive. I am doing that however what I have found is that the DVD drive no longer is able to read the DVD, it appears that there is nothing in the drive. I have tried other DVDs as well as CDs and it does not recognize any media. This is the same drive I have installed from up to this point at the very end.

If I click on the DVD drive it responds with, "I Drive is not accessible, Incorrect Function."

SCCM - Find Out of Band Management Controllers

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:26:49 GMT

I'm working towards provisioning Vpro. Today i took the step of having SCCM find all Out of Band Management Controllers.

It does seem to have worked for some machines, but there are many entries like the ones below in the amtopmgr.log.

What I find strange about these are the IP addresses. 192.168.1.103 would be their local IP address if they were using their home router and connecting to our network via VPN. However their VPN IP address would be 10.30.*.* So why would SCCM be looking for the machine their private IP address? Is there a way to change this behavior? I did try setting up a boundary and setup 192.168 as a Slow subnet. Doesn't seem to have made a difference though.

CAMTDiscoveryWSMan::DoConnectToAMTDevice: Failed to establish tcp session to 192.168.1.103:16993. SMS_AMT_OPERATION_MANAGER 6/15/2009 7:15:00 PM 5132 (0x140C)

S5000vsa - only 4 SATA ports available

How do you BEGIN to use vPro??

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 03:05:45 GMT

Just a little background... I am a desktop support tech at my organization responsible for roughly 400-500 client computers at 4 separate locations. We are running a Novell NetWare shop with Windows XP clients mostly along with some Windows Vista clients.

Our newest shipment of workstations are HPs with vPro. I've read up on some white papers about how to actually enable and use vPro utilities, but haven't been able to get anything working. I'm actually at a loss as far as how to put this technology to use and it's a shame. We have roughly 100 vPro capable workstations and would love to actually put them to work for us.

Some distinct questions I would like answered:

Just about all of your white papers on this site here seem to be based around integrating AMT with a 3rd party management console. My organization does not use Altiris, LANDesk, or Microsoft SMS. I've seen videos of people using the free tools that Intel offers. Do these work stand-alone? I'm especially interested in AMT commander.

Where do I actually start with this stuff? What software needs to be installed on the client?

I have a workstation running Windows Vista with all drivers for AMT installed, AMT service running, and another workstation running AMT commander console. The console doesn't discover the workstation. AMT commander isn't allowing me to connect even after manually adding the workstation. Where am I going wrong?

What are some good white papers that I can read up on? I've mostly found just white papers that go on about the TCO and other stuff that is more relevant to IT managers. I want to know the stuff that is for the guys that will actually configure this stuff.

DHCP and DNS registrations with AMT

sandy.wood@da.ocgov.com — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:31:08 GMT

I've noticed that our DHCP (Windows 2003) server has started to fill up with leases for system name HPsystem.mydomain.com. I panicked and thought I'd missed a step in my preparation. I have our DHCP configured to register DNS names dynamically but did not have it set to Dynamically update DNS records for clients that do not request updates. I checked that box and now it looks like my clients are starting to get registered correctly. I see registrations happening for HPSystem.mydomain.com as well as the computername.mydomain.com on the same IP. In DNS the comutername is showing registered now. Is this how it's supposed to happen?

Is there a document somewhere that details what happens in DHCP and ultimately in DNS to vPro enabled computers?

LDMS 8.8 with AMT

kumaran.alagesan@tcs.com — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:18:53 GMT

Hi,

I've been trying to build a test environment with LANDESK Management Suite 8.8(45-day trial) to manage Intel vPro PCs(Model : Optiplex 755, AMT 3.x)

Ive tried to provision the client PC that am trying to manage with the "One-touch USB provisioning" method but the provisioning status on the client PCs shows up as success or completed but the <https://10.10.1.20:16993/> page doesn't open (10.10.1.20 = a client's ipaddress)

Here are the steps which i followed:

1. Installed LDMS 8.8.

2. Did a network scan to identify the PCs in my network.

3. Installed LDMS clients on the client PCs.

4. Exported 15 PID/PPS using the vPro ID generation option available in LDMS

a.Entered a password in the 'vPro configuration' tab

b.Selected 'TLS mode provisioning' in the 'vPro configuration' tab

5. Exported the 'setup.bin' to a USB key formatted in FAT16

6. Made client PCs boot thro the USB key and selected Y(yes) when prompted with the provisioning option on the initial screen.

7. Rebooted the machine when prompted after the provisioning completed without any errors.

After all these steps, when i tried to open <https://10.10.1.20:16993/> it shows up as 'page cannot be displayed'

Also, to addup to this., I don't have a 3rd party certificate(verisign or godaddy)

As am doing a 'One-touch provisioning' i thought a certificate isn't necessary. Also i don't have a 'certification authority' installed in my environment.

SMB mode provisioning is working good and am able to explore all vPro capabilities but am a bit concerned with Enterprise mode provisioning

Please correct me if am wrong in the process of provisioning or if my current network setup is lagging on something that i missed on.

Thanx in advance for any help regarding this.

Need Recomendation on MotherBoard/CPUs for Lab Virtulization Server

hhinman@awebdomain.com — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:17:30 GMT

I would like to build a server to host Windows Server 2008 (64 Bit) and Hyper-V in a lab environment for staging testing and learning of multiple Microsot technologies (including both 32 bit Windows and 64 bit Windows VMs). This would not be a production server and trying to keep a blanace on cost but also ensure functionality. Seems that I need Dual Quad Core CPUs and as much RAM as possible. The only Dual CPU Intel Motherboard I see that can take 64 Gig of RAM is the S5400SF. Looks like it has 16 banks of Ram that can hold up to 4 gig each.

What is the best CPU to place 2 of in this board from a price performance standpoint? Also curious if any other boards might be recomended for this task? I am not concerned about the footprint - happy to mount in a desktop or tower server case.

I might consider one of the 32 gig max RAM boards as well. Any recomendations?

Thanks,

-Howard

prefetch disable via MSRs on Nehalem?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:47:22 GMT

Hi,

For the Core 2 Architecture ther had been the bits 9 and 19 on msr 0x1a0 which could be set to disable the hardware and the adjacent cache line prefetcher. This feature is described in the "Software Developer’s Manual Volume 3B: System Programming Guide, Part 2" pp B46-B47.

For Nehalem/Core i7 this functionality is not documented. Is this information confidential and only part of a "BIOS Developer Guide"?

Windows Home Server - I need a good compromise in a basic 'Small Office' server mthrbrd/prssr/mem combo

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:48:47 GMT

I'm setting up a 'MS Windows Home Server' for a SOHO client. The server will have 2 tb of storage that I'd like to set up in a 'mirrored' raid configuration with very good performance as a server. Client runs Cad applications and needs to access large files with minimum degradation in network access speeds, but, only two users at any given time, so mass access not an issue. Because this is a home office server, my priorities are redundant/safe storage with ability to support future multimedia streaming capabilites (as are built into Windows Home Server).

My obvious question is, what mthrbrd, memory, processor combo for price/performance?

Thanks,

Greening Data Centers or Make 'em Efficient?

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:32:22 GMT

Welcome All! Let's really chat about this one. I had a meeting with a company responsible for managing cooling within data centers last week and it sounded like they were leaning my way by saying "when you make that data center efficient, you essence begin greening or reducing your carbon footprint..."

Below is what I said awhile ago in a blog, but let's vet this out today and in the future. I need to tell a story and you can help me write it.

Rgds...Brently

As you all know Green is taking off -- our world is becoming concerned with the legacy we'll leave for our children and their children. I admire that because it identifies how we're a caring nation in the U.S. as well as a compassionate world.

But I believe we're mixing the messages down at the lower levels; In my opinion, "Green" means giving something back to mother earth. It means offsetting your carbon impact by planting trees (as I learned from one of the earlier companies I worked for), or it means buying energy from alternative means such as wind power -- the direction Intel and other companies are moving towards. Those are green efforts from my point of view. However "Efficiency," is defined by Encarta's North America dictionary as this.. "The ability to do something well or achieve a desired result without wasted energy or effort."

Those are two different directions as I see them, and companies running programs to enable more efficient Data Centers must understand how to correctly identify their approach.

So, what does everyone else thing about Green vs. Efficient?

W3503 Xeon @ 130W TDP vs Pentium D 920 @ 95W TDP

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:23:17 GMT

I have a single processor Dual Channel DDR2 Non-ECC Pentium D Computer at 95W TDP.

I want to upgrade to a single processor Tri-Channel DDR3 ECC W3503 computer at 130 W TDP.

I am concerned that the "server grade" W3503 @ 130 TDP is thermally inferior to the "consumer grade" Pentium D @ 95W TDP.

If I tortuer both CPUs at 100% load which processor will:

1) Die first?

2) Throttle first?

3) Rev up the fan first?

4) Perform erroneous computations first?

SS4200-E external usb disk - cannot write

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:38:46 GMT

We have a SS4200-E machine. I connect an external 1,5TB disk to it (Seagate freeagent) and the ss4200 recognizes it and gives it a folder name (USB_Seagate_FreeAgent). Problem is whatever I try, I cannot write to the external disk, ony read from it, even if a set it (from the admin page) as Not Secured.

I have tried

* setting the folder as Not Secured, still I cannot write to it (it still shows the lock icon even if I set it as Not secured)

* setting it as Secured write and/or Secured read/write with full read/write permissions for any user, still all users are set to Read only. Even the admin.

* creating a new User and giving it write access- still cannot write (i select Read/Write for the user, click Apply but still it says it is set only to "Read")

Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

Updating AXX6DRV3GEXP and AXX4DRV3GEXP

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:31:27 GMT

Hi community!

I have big problems to bring the firmware of my backplanes up to the actual version. What components do i have?

- S5000PSL in SC5400BRP with AXX6DRV3GEXP and AXX4DRV3GEXP

- S3210SHLC in SC5299-DP with AXX6DRV3GEXP

Because both servers are loosing there disks from time to time if searched a lot in the web and found out that the firmware of the backplanes have well known problems with sata disks on old versions. I have only sata disks and firmware 2.02 on the backplanes so i think i would be the best to update them to the latest version 2.12 but i don´t no how to do it.

As written in the readme i removed the raid controllers and just attached an single disc with ms dos and the update files on it. Than i try tried to use the batch files to update them but on the S5000 the actual firmware revision is shown but the update fails, on the S3210 it looks like the the backplane isn´t found.

When i try to use the EFI update it also doesn´t work, also a manual load of the ipmi.efi doesn´t want to work.

Whats the correct way to update my backplanes so the disks won´t be lost any longer? It´s not a big problem to connect the backplane from my S3210 temporarily to the S5000, so some tips how to realize it on the S5000 would be enough and extremly useful.

Best regards from rainy germany

Keyboard locked on BIOS screen when provisioned with SCCM 2007 SP1

vinay.ramkumar@viglen.co.uk — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:06:48 GMT

Hello!

I seem to have encountered another strange issue (or is it a feature) when using the Out of Band management console in SCCM 2007 SP1 to manage vPro clients. If I access the BIOS on a client once using SOL on the OOB console, I cannot then access the BIOS directly on the machine. The F2 keypress works and shows me the initial BIOS screen, but the keyboard locks up. I did NOT select Lock Keyboard in the OOB console when I booted to BIOS.

My problem is compounded by the fact that the machine is no longer properly provisioned in SCCM. This means that I cannot connect to it via OOB console, and hence I'm completely locked out of the BIOS. Even using the motherboard jumper to go into maintenance mode does not work, since the keyboard remains locked even in maintenance mode.

My questions are - a) Is this a security feature or a known issue? and b) How do I do a hard reset of the bios?

Compatibility-1333MHz/1600MHz RAM for Core i7 920 D0 SLBEJ

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:18:55 GMT

05:10 Hrs 9/18/2009||Friday

Hi, this is my System to be getting soon :

Processor - Core i7 920 D0 Stepping SLBEJ
Mobo - MSI X58 Pro-E Mobo
RAM - Corsair XMS3 TR3X3G1333C9 - 9-9-9-24 at VDIMM 1.5v

My Question is - Core i7 920 D0 supports RAM Memory Frequency 1066MHZ . But The Corsair RAM is 1333MHz, at 1.5v.
I DONOT WANT ANY OVERCLOCKING THINGS & JUST RUN MY SETUP FOR 3D-JOBS IN THE DFAULT STOCK FREQUENCY OF CPU & FREQUENCY OF RAM.

So if I want to keep all as-they-are ' Default Factory Stock Settings ' , -

1. Is This Corsair RAM willl Work Fine?
2. Will The RAM Frequency will work upto 1066 (Less Than its Default 1333 MHz) only ( when 'NO OC')

3. Will the Latency Timing 9-9-9-24 will change and the Voltage 1.5v will also change ?

4. If The Latency of 9-9-9-24 Changes then What Will be the NEW Latency setting and The NEW Voltage for of RAM ?

IS THIS WILL BE A VERY SAFE OPTION - TO KEEP THE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING OF MOTHERBOARD & CPU & RAM ; I DO-NOT WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN 'BIOS' ACTUALLY .

If These Memoery used -

Corsair DDR3-1333 (XMS3-10666C9*3CH) 9-9-9-24 at 1.5v or,

Corsair DDR3-1600 (Dominator-12800C8*XMP*3CH) 8-8-8-24 at 1.65v or,

Corsair DDR3-1866 (Dominator-15000C9*XMP*3CH) 9-9-9-24 at 1.65v .

So If I keep The All Motherboard BIOS , RAM Ltency in The Default Setting, What will happen ?

Is My Core i7 D0 will Gain Unwanted-Heat ?

RAM will gain Heat ?

Just Curious very much about - What will I See.

Your useful suggestions Please.

Need help with I/O throughput for XEON and 5520 chipset

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:45:26 GMT

Hi everyone,

This is my first post so please take it easy on me!

I am investigating a server purchase for my company which will be used in a simulation environment - the basic requirement is to shift approx 1GB/s from storage to two PCIe (V1) cards. Currently I am looking at a HP ML370 - probably with two X5570 processors, 16GB RAM and a RAID array. My primary concern is whether a single server will have enough CPU umph and IO throughput to handle the job.

I've looked at lots of technical specs for PCIe, QPI etc but can't find any real-world examples which would give me a warm feeling before I start spending the companys money.

Any ideas ?

Anyone can help me with OpenMP and the Intel Fortran Compiler?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 07:29:01 GMT

Hi everyone. I'm trying to paralellize a Fortran program. I'm quite experienced using Fortran, but I'm almost a newbie using OpenMP, so I'm finding a bit of trouble.

First, I have built the structure (the important things are the parallel region and a big parallel loop) and then I am inserting the rest of the code in it. Now, it has 6000 lines, and it should end with about 20000.

I use the Intel Fotran Compiler v11.0, I type:

> ifort -fast -openmp -o try try.f90

The thing is that when everything's ok, it says:

try.f90(1125): (col. 7) remark: OpenMP DEFINED LOOP WAS PARALLELIZED.
try.f90(1098): (col. 7) remark: OpenMP DEFINED REGION WAS PARALLELIZED.

But when I added some more lines, the message becomes:

try.f90(1098): (col. 7) remark: OpenMP DEFINED REGION WAS PARALLELIZED.

And it does not parallelize my loop and my program fails.

I found a similar problem when my program was smaller (1000 lines) and I compiled with "-O0 -openmp", so I think it may be related with optimizations. Am I right?

I'd like to know if this problem can be solved and if it's related to the Intel compiler. My machine is an Intel Xeon 2GHz.

Thanks,

SS4200-E HD REPLACEMENT PROBLEM

Hi,

I have replaced a faulty hd in the ss4200 with a new one exactly the same. I got some questions about overwriting the new hd and at the end I have all the leds of the good hds off and one led of the new hd steady amber. I dont know if something is going on and how much do I have to wait for the rebuilding knowing that the size of the disks is 4X750 Gigs and the data used about 400 Gigs. The problem is that at this time the data are unavailable and I dont know if the rebuilding is going on or not. There is not a clear situation about what is going on on the data. Here is a screenshot

I have allready authorized the overwriting and pressed yes on the next screen and ok on the next also and then I returned on this screen. Is this normal?

Is the rebuilding taking place ?

Thank you for your help

SS4200-E Printer support

As stated in the release notes the printer support was removed. With Firmware 1.0.8 printer support worked. If you connect the printer under 1.0.8, then update to 1.1.11 printer support is still there. But if you already have 1.1.11 and connect a printer nothing happens...

Why was printer support removed?

The support site http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/se7500cw2/sb/cs-006894.htm says "You need to configure the single device as a master device on the Promise* RAID IDE controller to successfully load the OS drivers" but I am pretty sure I have the drive jumpered as a Master... but I can't find any info on how to configure the Promise* RAID IDE controller. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

command-line for changing com port?

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 22:28:35 GMT

Hello smart people,

I have a situation which may/may not sound familiar to you. I have a unified ghost image which we use for all of our desktops and laptops. The short of the long is that we have some plug-in equipment that want to use com-port 3 via a PCI add-in card. Is there some type of command-line utility I can run which will set the com port to a specified com port like COM12? I'm working with Dell Optiplex 755 and 760 models. If I build the image with the drivers installed on one model and set it to COM12, the other device will still show up as COM3 when it's detected. Blah. Anyways thanks.

SC5400base, S5000PSLSAS and AXX6DRV3GEXP questions

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:05:46 GMT

I have a server with:

SC5400base chassis

S5000PSLSAS Motherboard

4 drive extender hot swap cage AXX4DRV3GEXP

4 seagate cheetah SAS drives

RAID10 using the Embedded Server RAID Technology II

I read in the ESRT II user's guide that there is a maximum of 8 drives and 1 extender. I need to add drives, so I purchased an AXX6DRV3GEXP 6 drive HS cage.

Question: Can I disconnect the 4 drive cage, connect the 6 drive cage and moved the HDD without data loss?

Thanks,

Installing SBS2003STD on S3420GP - getting bluescreen?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:10:52 GMT

I have a S3420GP system aquired at the recient TST. I am trying to install SBS2003 Standard Ed. (not R2) on a SATA Raid Mirror drive, but when it gets to the part of the install that is installing drivers it goes to the blue screen of death. The most current bios updates are installed. Should I turn off some of the advanced features in the bios?

Any advice would be appriciated.

4-Lane PCI Express slot in S5520SC?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:53:56 GMT

I have an Intel S5520SC motherboard which has a 4-lane PCI-Express slot. Mechanically it will support an 8-lane PCI-Express card.

If you put an 8-lane card in this slot will the card work? More specifically, will the PCI-Express interface be able to figure out that there are only 4-lanes electrically and just operate at half the throughput of an 8-lane interface?

Presumally Intel put an 8-lane socket there just for this situation, but I wanted to check first before purchasing an 8-lane product and trying it.

Cheers, Eric

Where can I find the Master.cfg file (FRUSDR) for an S5520SC?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:36:08 GMT

Hello,

I would like to disconnect front FAN in the chassis SC5650WS to reduce noise as I only installed 1 HardDisk and no PCe cards.

Unfortunatly, if I don't connect all FAN on proper motherboard FAN connectors (please, Mr Intel, provides your chassis with FAN with the good connector color. It takes one day to find that the motherboard needs one FAN connected to the blue FAN connector and the otherone to the white FAN connector?!?!?) then all FAN run at full speed.

So, now it is OK; FAN are running a low speed but still too busy for a WorkStation.

If I understand well, BMC need to be reconfigured if we want to change the FAN setup.

I found the frusdr.efi utility but I'm not able to find the master.cfg file to reconfigurate the SDR for the S5520SC motherboard.

Is someone have this file or could tell me how I can do to be able to remove some FAN?

Thanks for your help,

Bertrand

X25-E SSD ... new "trim" ata command ?

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:07:18 GMT

I know that for the MLC version, the X25-M, Intel has come out with a firmware update to support the new proposed ATA "trim" command, but what about the SLC drive, the X25-E ?

In some ways one could say there's less of a need for the "trim" command on the X25-E, because it is so fast, faster than the X25-M, but I'm in no rush to make a purchase. And I'd hate to buy something that will be obsolete a few months later... replaced by something a bit better.

So, are there any plans to offer a firmware update for the X25-E ? Or will there soon be an updated version of the X25-E product, that supports the "trim" command ? that is to say, command ATA8-ACS2.

VPro is great, but who has the best VPro agent?

patrickfcarley@hotmail.com — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 11:40:20 GMT

Hello everyone. I have built VPro machines over the last year. I've talked with several vendors, but it seems like noone has the complete VPro agent. Some agents have remote control and power issues with Vista; some agents server consoles don't work with 64 bit servers; some agents don't do IDE redirect. I have staged two companies with VPro machines, but have not installed an agent until I find the complete solution. Help!!

My aim is to future proof my customer environments. So I want to take advantage of Vista and 64 bit Server technology.

Who has found an agent that takes full advantage of all of the VPro platform's capability? Please provide your insights. Tell everyone which agents you are using and what the capabilities are.

Thanks

Running vPro OOB Mgt without SCCM

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:30:38 GMT

Hello,

I have been having problems with getting the Out of Band Management Console to run because my normal login account is too large to work with all of our AMT devices. The Kerberos token size is the problem. The problem I have encountered is I have to logoff and login using a small test account when I want to use OOBMC. This prevents me from doing anyhting elase.

I created a commandline script that will run the OOBMC as a runas user to avoid the logoff's.

et 2 variables at the top and its ready to go.

You need to have the SCCM console installed on the computer as it uses oobconsole.exe to run "outside of the box".

It does a WMI query to the SCCM server to find the resource ID for the specific PC then does a runas on the oobconsole.exe

No warranties expressed or implied. Use at your own risk, yada, yada, yada....

x5540 with 1333Mhz memory

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:29:01 GMT

OK, so we've received some new Workstations that use the x5540 processor and our purchase included 1333Mhz memory. However, after some research it turns out that the 5540 only supports the 10300 memory speeds. Is it possible for us to use the 1333 memory? We will plan on upgrading the processors in the future and were hoping that we could make use of the faster memory speed once the proc. were upgraded. Any thoughts on the possibility of using the 1333 memory with the x5540 processor?

Disk off-line on an SSR212MC2R - Problem!

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:00:20 GMT

Dear all,

I'm working on an Intel SSR212MC2R storage system mounting 12 x 2TB WD disks.

Everything seems to work fine but it happens, at least one time a day, that one disk goes off-line. I just put it again on-line and all continues to work fine.

Looking in the logs I've seen that at same moment I've the problem i get this error:

Controller ID: 0 Unexpected sense: PD= Ports 4-7:1:11, CDB = 0x2e 0x00 0xe8 0xe0 0x67 0xcb 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 , Sense = 0xf0 0x00 0x03 0xe8 0xe0 0x67 0xcb 0x0a 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x11 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 .

Another strange thing is that the problem happens during the night, low work level, and it never happens during the working day.

I made all the upgrades.

Thanks in advance.

how to troubleshoot warning light on SE7520BD2

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:05:00 GMT

I have an Intel server SE7520BD2 and there is a warning light on the front of the server. The server boots up into Windows 2003 with no problems (I haven't been in front of the server to see if there are any messages at boot up) and functions normal. I am worried that it could escalate if I don't find what the warning means

Does anyone have any advice on how to find what is causing the light to appear.

NAS SS4200-E and defrag utility

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:40:14 GMT

Hello all,

I've bought a NAS SS4200-E a month ago. I've hard used it with copy/move/delete files and directories. Right now I've 4 HD 1.5TB in RAID 5 and most of the whole space (~3TB) is used with my DVD rip collection.

Now I found it a little slower than the beginning... There's a way to defragment it? There's a defrag tool provided with the software (EMC)? or exists a software which can defragment it remotely?

thank you a lot.

Change the power state in BIOS for Lenovo 7483-CTO?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:54:48 GMT

Hi,

The power state option in the BIOS is set to S3. I want to change it to S5 (or anything that allows me to turn it on via WOL when the computer is powered off), but the option is grayed out.

None of the BIOS documentations or user manuals mention this setting - they seem to avoid power management alltogether that is beyond "configure your card for WOL".

How can I change the option?

Thanks,

3 CF-52 Toughbooks stuck at "ME Is Intializing"

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:30:20 GMT

Hi,

I have 3 Panasonic CF-52 Toughbooks that when I tried to provision gave me a PSK error. I then went into the BIOS to unconfigure the AMT to reset the toughbooks and after they rebooted it did ask me to unconfigure which I answered yes. The notebooks rebooted again but now when the intel management engine comes up, it just says "ME Is Intializing" followed by dots and straight to windows. With this happening, it won't allow me to provision the notebooks and now when I try to unconfigure the AMT again, it does not ask me to unconfigure. Contacting panasonic tech line just sent me to their engineers to look at my email but heard nothing from them as of yet about this problem.

any way to fix this problem?

Which memory slots are the 1600 speed on the DX48BT2?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:00:42 GMT

There seems to be conflicting information about the amount of 1600 speed ram and the correct slots to install it in. One Intel document says 4 gig of 1600 speed is supported, but another later document says only 2 gig is supported by the DX48BT2. If using a 2 gig stick, which slot does it go in? I have tried 4 different batches of ram, 2 dfferent brands and 1333 speed as well, in different configurations (slots) and quantity. It has been a year now and I still have freeze-ups regularly. Replacing the video card did not help. I am running the QX9770 Extreme processor. Nothing is overclocked.

w5580 vs x5570

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 27 May 2009 21:19:00 GMT

Dear Everyone,

could someone clarify the differences between the two cpu (Intel Xeon W5580 and X5570)? I see that 5570 is a 2.93 GHz cpu and W5580 is a 3.2 GHz, and W5580 has TDP of 130W. But why don't main brand manufacturers include the higher cpu in their systems? I have read in many sites that W5580 is a workstation cpu while 5570 belongs to the server line, but why? What makes a difference?

We're planning to buy a new database server and hesitating between a brand server (with 5570 cpu) and a S*micro assembled server (with 5580 cpu). Would the 5580 server (workstation) better investment or shall we stay at the "official" server line with the lower cpu?

Thanks in advance!

Help Required in the installation of AMT Setup and Configuration Service

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:02:57 GMT

Hi All,

Regarding the Remote power up/down , I have installed both AMTConfServer and AMTConsole on local server accorindg to the Intel_AMT_SCS_Installation_Guide.

Prior to these installations I have created the Active Directory, Certification Authority in the same server.

To install the Active Directory I am following the steps from this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998088(EXCHG.65).aspx

And to install the Certification Authority(Standalone) I am following the Intel_AMT_SCS_Installation_Guide.

After the installation of the CA I performed following steps to enable the secure communication between the AMTSever and the AMT Devices.

Step 1 : Configure the CA to automatically issue the certificates.

Step 2 : Install the CA certificate in the certificate store as a trusted root certificate

Step 3 : Install the certificate on IIS

Step 4 : Install the client certificate

Step 5 : Enable secure communication between the AMT Server and AMT devices (TLS/SSL )

After the all the prerequisites steps are done started installing the AMTConsfServer with custom installation and then the AMTConsole as per the IC guide.

Now while connecting to the Setup and Configuration Service through the AMTConsole with the default url "https://FQDN/amtscs" am getting the error "cannot connect to "https://FQDN/amtscs" (Reason : Response is not well-formed xml)".

Any thoughts on this?

Regards,

My question is about memory configuration, Its true this processors works with DDR3 800mhz memory modules, but we can not find those frequecies here in the market, only DDR3 1066 and 1333

Can we use this memory pack with the above configuration?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820609459

and set the frequency to 800mhz?

What is the best configuration?

Re: TXT and VT both required for Measured Launch?

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:27:07 GMT

Below is a thread I posted to the VPro forum and have reposted it here, along with Javed's response. My next question is posted beloiw his response.

Thanks,

Noob

>>My Intial Post

Hi Folks,

Excuse my ignorance, but as my username says, I am a somewhat a "noob" to the whole TxT/VT world. Anyway, what I am trying to figure out is, if you just want to have measured launch of a PC do you have to have both TxT and VT-d (Yes, assume the TPM is there)? Or is the VT only needed if you're doing virtualization? Of course, haveing VT-d makes sense if you're doing Virtualization, but I guess my real question is whether or not TxT requires the VT technology no matter your scenario. Say, for instance, an organization only wants to perform remote attestation (using SRTM/DRTM) of a host and doesn't use virtualization at all. I hope that all makes sense. Also, what other chip makers out there are currently supporting Measured Launch? I think AMD's version of VT-d is called IOMMU. Just trying to see who else does this and if there is a standard as well.

Thanks!

Noob :-0

>>Response from Javed:

Hi!

We all were once a noob but then one learns with time :-)

Anyway, coming to your query, first let me brief you a bit on VT-d.

VT-d:

While you are doing Virtualization, the guest OS uses the hardware resources of the server/desktop to run through virtualization. An input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) enables guest virtual machines to directly use peripheral devices, such as ethernet and accelerated graphics cards, through DMA and interrupt remapping. Both AMD and Intel have released specifications. The AMD specification labels this technology "IOMMU" (an acronym for the common name of this form of virtualization) while Intel has called their implementation "Intel's Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O" (VT-d).

Now as for VT-d and TXT relationship:

The TXT is commercially distributed with another technology VT-d. The VT-d provides hardware remote security, protecting hardware, storage and communications, adding another security level against software attacks.

VT-d is an environment model that shares hardware resources using I/O virtualization. This can then allow control over each process's access to resources without using reprobative exclusive access methods.

Then for that matter, is TXT required for Virtualization too?

NO! If TXT is being used with VT-d, it does not mean that TXT is necessarily required for Virtualization cause basically TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) is commonly advertised by Intel as a security technology. TXT is intended to provide users and organizations with a higher level of trust while accessing, modifying or creating sensitive data and code and of course, TPM is required for that matter. This technology could be coupled with VT-d (Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O) designed to backup the TXT outside of the chip, and even outside the Computer itself.

So what do we conclude?

So from the look of it and what I have worked on so far, I surmise that for a measured launch, you would need to enable them both as VT-d works in conjunction with TXT because VT-d would provide hardware remote security adding another level of security against the software attacks unless you opt out otherwise.

Any reference for that matter?

However if you experience something new, please update us on that as well. I would also encourage you to brush through the PDF document at the URL below and for further details, do look into the references provided at the end of that document:

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/2382371/Analysis-of-a-Measured-Launch

I have a few documents on this that can actually give you further information on this however respecting the confidentiality of those documents, can not share them but always help you in this regard to resolve any problem or answer any query that you may have

Get back to us if need be

Hope this helps however if you further questions especially regarding this, be sure to post it in our server room section and we'd be glad to help.

Thank you, have a great day!

Warm Regards,

Javed Lodhi

Intel Go Green, Save The Environment!

Thanks Javed!

Ok, so what you're saying is that VT-d does more than just provide protected support for virtualization, and that it provides more security when paired with TxT, correct? In other words, if I am not using virtualization software at all, VT-d is still useful with TxT for a measured launch? Last one: If that is correct, then is that to say that you Can't have a measured launch if you only use TxT?

I also actually have that document you referenced, but did not see the answer I was looking for specifically, which is why I decided to post here. I'll give it another look though.

Thanks again,

Xeon with less speed OR Core 2 Duo Quad with higher speed?

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:12:02 GMT

I am confused between these choices:

Choice 1: Core 2 Quad Q9650+DQ45CB motherboard which runs as 3 GHz @ 800 MHz RAM

Choice 2: Xeon Quad Core E5410+SR 5000VSA 4DIMM which runs at 2.3 GHz @ 677 MHz.

Can you please suggest which of these will deliver the best performance: Choice1 or Choice 2?

If you suggest to go for XEON rather than Quad Core Core Duo, I hve further questions:

Choice A: Upgrade the Processor speed
=====================================
Xeon E5410 (2.3 MHz) or E5420 (2.5 MHz)? (the only differnce is Clock Speed. I want to know how much difference would it make at they have a price differece of 4000.

Choice B: Upgrade the RAM Amount

=====================================

SR 5000VSA 4DIMM (8 GB RAM) OR SR 5000VSA 8DIMM (16 GB RAM)? Agian, price difference of 4000 just because of extra 8 GB RAM Support.

I can only choose between upgrading either the mother board for increased RAM or the processor for increased Speed because of budget constraints. Please suggest what will be better?

I need to install Windows 2008 with Hyper-V on the machine. I'll run Windows 2008 as Host OS and 4 Hyper-V Virtual Servers (2003+2008) on that.

SINCE THESE ARE THE ONLY AVAIABLE MODLES IN MARKET, I DONT HAVE NY OTHER CHOICE FOR MOTHERBOARDS OR PROCESSORS.

I would highly appreciate if you may please spare some time to research for the same and let me know the reasons behind recommending a choice.

Very thankful for your time,

With Regards,

Cannot access WEB GUI with SCCM SP1 and AMT Firmware 3.2.1

vinay.ramkumar@viglen.co.uk — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:52:09 GMT

Hi guys

After trawling through this forum and many others, I have finally managed to get vPro clients to succesfully provision using Zero Touch configuration. The OOB console in SCCM SP1 works fine... and all the PCs wake up correctly when a program is advertised. However, I cannot access the web gui on any of the PCs using Internet Explorer 7 or 6 with hotfix. I have checked all network settings, all hostnames resolve correctly. I have checked and double checked the passwords in the Out of Band management configuration settings.

I can still get into the ME interface in the BIOS using the same password.

Atom processor for server solutions?

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:17:27 GMT

Is the Intel Atom processor suitable for a computer running on windows server 2003? We are running an educational institution and would like to move the existing server pc to a new one which contains Atom processor. And it is told that the computing power of Atom processor is much smaller that it can be compared only to a 1GHz Pentium III processor. Is it true?

HP Ultrium 1760 on Intel Modular Server MFSYS25

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:37:01 GMT

Hello,

We have Symantec BackupExec 12.5 installed on Intel Modular Server MFSYS25 (F/W Ver. 3.0). The operating system is Windows Server 2003 64-bit. The tape drive that we use for backup is "HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1760" and it is connected via SAS port. The tape drives have Symantec Drivers installed. We have all the latest patches and service packs installed for Symantec BackupExec.

We are intermittently getting error while taking backup using Symantec BackupExec. The OS generates Event ID 11 and backup fails. The error source is "LSI_SAS" and the description says "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort0".

Does anybody know of this error? Is there any known issue with this?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Denis

Changing RAID on S5000VSA

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 03:13:10 GMT

I have a S5000VSA mobo that currently has a 250GB SATA drive set at RAID 0 (it's hooked up to the port labeled "RAID 0" on mobo) I would like to add a second 250GB SATA drive to the second RAID connector and start doing RAID 1 for both drives, with my current drive being the primary. Do I have to format the drives and start over or can this be done without changing anything and loosing data? If I can do it, point me to the way please? RAID BIOS or Windows UI?

5000VSA - Intel-VT

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 20:25:47 GMT

Hello Experts,

I use an Intel Server Board S5000VSASATAR with Intel Xeon L5410 processor. I am searching for the option to activate Intel-VT in BIOS but I cannot find it.

I have read another posting telling me to change the setting under Processor information. But there is no option there at my BIOS.

I have installed BIOS version 88.

I would be very thankful for any kind of assistance in this matter.

Thanks!

alternative chassis' than the SC5299-E

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:02:51 GMT

I was wondering if anybody had had any experience of using an alternative to the SC5299-E server chassis? If so, what.

I have a S5000VSA m/b to use and have been looking for suitable chassis'. Intel talk about other third party alternatives but (understandably) give no real info about minimum specs required.

Anybody?

Query on Kerberos, Active Directory and AMT firmware level

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:22:52 GMT

There is alot of literature on Kerberos authentication, but my 3.0.2 AMT devices don't even appear to attempt no negotiate Kerberos, and the troubleshooting wiki at Known Issues, Best Practices, and Workarounds states active directory is supported from 3.2 . Anyone know if 3.0.2 should work ? Digest users are ok.

DG45ID and ADD2 card

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 21:19:10 GMT

I'm upgrading a system to the DG45ID, and it needs to support dual monitors via DVI. The board obviously had a single integrated DVI-I port (in addition to the HDMI port). The manual references compatibility with ADD2/MEC cards. It also mentions installation of a PCI-E card disables the integrated graphics ports. I tried installing a dual-DVI ADD2 card (Wintec), assuming the on-board DVI port would be disabled, but can't get this config to work. So either I've got a bad ADD2 card or mobo, or I interpreted the manual wrong, and I should be using a single head DVI ADD2 card, in conjunction with the integrated DVI port. I'm currently using the old dual-DVI NVIDIA card, but I'd like to be able to get the integrated graphics working. So, should I be using a single head ADD2 card, or should I look at RMAing the ADD2 card and/or mobo.

Thanks in advance for any help.

W3570 or W5580

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 09:34:32 GMT

I have a question about the new processor W3570. I only need a one processor system (1 socket). Now I am not sure if the W5580 has any advantage in comparison to the W3570?

Thanks for your help

Upgrading a motherboard S5000VSA to stop the fan noise

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:05:12 GMT

Hi.

I´m trying to upgrade my motherboard S5000VSA to stop the loud noise. In fact I´ve been already through the upgrade process to the last firmware we have available for my motherboard, but during this procedure I´ve been asked to inform the correct chassi. I have few question that could help me.

1. How do I know which chassi I have?

2. How do I change the connector which I have my fan connect to during the upgrade?. In my case I have it connected to number 6.

3. The front of my cabinet I have a LED that doesn´t stop flashing.

thanks.

Intel DQ965GF sound issues

srichardson@cix.co.uk — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 15:43:17 GMT

Intel DQ965GF sound issues. Recently I have noticed that the sound from my computer has been muffled, indistinct and overlaid by a staticy "white noise". For instance when I start Media Centre the start up sound is not clear, is accompanied by a hissing, sound like an untuned radio and recorded programs or live TV is unwatchable due to the poor quality of sund. I have tried removing the drivers, updating them to the newest verisons and removing the Sonic software, but this does not help. I did disable the on board sound in the BIOS and try an old soundblaster card and that worked fine, so I know it is not the speakers or the cables. I also have a spare 1Tb disc with Windows 7 on it, with no third party drivers, and this does the same. Is it likely that the on board sound is now an ex-parrot?
