Study Notes

There are 71 2300RGII(7501WV2/SC2300) servers in the production line. And the worker told me the alter LED in the front panel is always glaring in some machines. I tried to re-flashed the BIOS and FRUSDR, the nosie is lower, and it seemed the LED do not alert. But if the machines is powered off for some minutes,and then power on again, the LED would be glaring again.

Finally, I found the resolution.It will be resolved by the following way:
1. Update the FRUSRD to 5.6.B
2. Update the BMC to 1.20
3. Update the BIOS to 3.90 build 250
4. Clear CMOS
the operation must be taken in former order.

Changsha customer asked if they could only replace the RAID card when the original RAID card halted. The answer is yes. Because the RAID information is written to both RAID Card and Hard Diskes,once the new raid card is inserted, the information will be translated from harddisk to raid card automatically. I’ve done this test in 2510(BD2 / Intel SRCZCRX),when the raid card is replaces,it alters, and will show messages about recovery.
