S2600CP4 don't post with Dual E5-2620

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 20 May 2013 02:19:13 GMT

Hi,

I am assembling one S2600CP4 based server having Dual E5-2620. I am facing following problem in endless loop if I install Dual E5-2620.

reports the power unit is powered off or being powered down - Deasserted

reports the power unit is powered off or being powered down - Asserted

System works fine if I use single E5-2620. Please help me solve this issue.

R2000gz crashes after keeping intel xeon phi 5110p (MICs) on

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 17:26:49 GMT

hi,

we have intel; R2000Gz server with two intel xeon phi 5110p cards (MICs) in it. If we boot the cards and make it online and keep idle, our servers gives kernel panic and returns to a # prompt wherein only /dev filesystem is mounted. We need to explicitly power reset the host. Why this is happening is not clear.

-regards,

How to use NTB (Non-transparent-bridge) in R1000GZ/GL server

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 17 May 2013 04:06:28 GMT

Hi,

I got two R10000GZ/GL servers couple days ago. I need them to try the PCIe Non-transparent-bridge (NTB) function. After installing Fedora 17 OS, there is no NTB function available. I think I should set something in BIOS to enable the NTB function but I can not find the place to do it. Could someone can teach me how to enable the NTB function ? Or there is any document about this? Thanks very much.

S1200BTL and P4304XXSHDN Chassis

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:30:45 GMT

This is the setup:

S1200BTL

Bios Version: S1200BT.86B.02.00.0041

BMC Firmware Version: 1.16.4347

SDR Version: SDR Package 1.16

ME Firmware Version: 2.2.0.49

Chassis: P4304XXSHDN

PSU: DPS-460KB A Rev: 01F

IPMI Reports the following regarding the PSUs.

PS1 Status | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na

PS1 Power In | na | Watts | na | na | na | na | 448.000 | 508.000 | na

PS1 Temperature | na | degrees C | na | na | na | na | 60.000 | 65.000 | na

There are no entries for PS2.

When attempting to update the SDR/FRU, the choices given to me are

2013-05-16-14:11:28 1 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis P4304XXSFCN

2013-05-16-14:11:28 2 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis P4304XXSHCN

2013-05-16-14:11:29 3 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis R1304BTLSFAN

2013-05-16-14:11:29 4 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis R1304BTLSHBN

2013-05-16-14:11:29 5 Other Chassis

Choosing entry number 2 makes the system think there is a FAN4 connected when there isn't. Entry 1 doesn't fix the problem, and then I chose "Other Chassis". Then the following:

Select the fan speed for the chassis

1 Slow Ramp

2 Medium Ramp

3 Fast Ramp

4 Full Speed Fans

Probing system for sensors and FRU device hardware...

Is Processor Fan installed?y

Is System Fan 1 installed?y

Is System Fan 2 installed?y

Is System Fan 3 installed?y

Is System Fan 4 installed?n

Does the system have chassis intrusion?y

Does the front panel support a NMI button?y

Update for SDR through CFG Started

Updating SDR ......

I still get the issue with only PS1 "sensors" showing up.

This makes me believe that it is possible that the PSUs are simply dumb PSUs and no actual sensors. Even though looking up the PSU model number leads me to the Delta (PSU manufacturer) site and on their table it shows the PSU as having PMBus.

This is the product that is purchased

http://www.nexlink.com/servers/systems/IP-P4304BTL.aspx

Can I edit the MASTER.CFG prior to updating the FRU/SDR to omit the PSUs? or is the Chassis not compatible with S1200BTL

Interesting Teaming Problem

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:46:27 GMT

I had a recent discussion here about trying to get Link Aggregation going with a couple of Intel NIC's. Mark was nice enough to walk me through my issues and recommend that I team one of my built-in cards (82574L with a add-on card the Gigabit CT Desktop adapter).

I was then able to create a team with these two cards forming Dynamic Link Aggregation. I then successfully connected my NAS drive and all was fine.

A few hours into my regular computer session I get a HUGE system slow down. So slow that my mouse cursor stutters across the screen and restoring or launching apps are pointlessly slow. So in my investigating I decide to try to backtrack and disable or change whatever I added or changed recently.

I disabled the team and also disabled the newly added CT card. System seems to be fine. Going on a few reboots and few hours of computer work.

Seems my problem is either with the team or CT card.

Can anyone think of an issue with running an on-board NIC with an add-on card NIC paired into a team that would cause this type of system slowdown?

Not sure what my troubleshooting should be.

I was also thinking I might have better luck with the Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2 Mark had suggested and trying to team the two ports on the same card into Link Aggregation.

Or should I go with a card listed in the supported Windows 7 list:

Network Connectivity — Is my Intel� Ethernet Adapter supported in Microsoft Windows 7*?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Toby
