Study Notes

In the PT6250 which is based in Intel SE7221BA1-E platform,using the following command to reflash bios: iflash. Before sending our server machines to the customers,the products’s bios logo would be reflashed with specificed sign which even maybe of OEM’s logo.We usually make updating bios file with ITK tools introduced by Intel.Note,it is necessarily to set the firmware parameter from 4 mega to 8 mega if we use ITK 2.7 to make SE7221’s new bios file.And then,adding the specified picture that is bmp or jpg formation.At last,generate the new bios file and save it to the harddisk.

There will be some trouble when using a picture with deep blue,red or green.The SE7221’s bios program does not support these deep color blocks as well as other light colors such as sky blue.However,as productors,we could not change the logo picture of the customers.
Perhaps contacting with Intel’s TME could resolve this problem.

Other server broad,for example, SE7520BD2 platform,using “run” command with “.rom” file to reflash the BIOS.The latest bios release of SE7520BD2 is 7.40.

A customer requested for proving four FiberCards which are using two external cards in different slots could be installed in the same SE7520JR2 platform.The Operating system the customer said is Linux 8.0. In the supporting operating system lists of SE7520JR2,I found no recorders about Linux 8.0,but Red Linux 9.0,AS 2.1u4, AS 3.0(u1 or u3) and SUSE series exist in this table.I plan to install this four Fiber netcard in Windown system to identify whether the platform hardware could support these devices or not.
