Yes the board does support monitoring PSU status, but you'll need to connect the 5-pin PS AUX cable from PSU to the board (J9A1), which provides I2C monitoring of the power supply. Does your PSU come with that cable?
For more details please refer to the Technical product specification.
Hello,
Windows XP x64 successfully installed with a disk connected on SATA (White) port.
When trying to install XP x64 on a disk connected to one of SAS/SATA blue port (0-3),
we have a problem with the floppy disk containing the required SAS/SATA driver.
The Windows installer complains about corrupted "iastorA.sys" & "iastorS.sys"files ?
Intel Server Board CD contains drivers for "W2003-x64" flavor, not sure if those are
compatible for XP x64. So Upload "RSTe_Windows_DRV_v3.8.0.1111" (29oct2013)
kit and I retry a fresh XP x64 installation with disk on SAS/SATA without success.
Also try to install W7-x64, W2008 R2 and Linux OpenSuse with those SAS/SATA blue
port without success. W7 and W2008 found the system disk but fail to create disk
partition and Linux did not found any valid disk.
As workaroud, I have just installed a SATA 6 Gb/s 2-port Internal PCIe MSI option
using a Marvell SE9128 host controller chip in order to connect additionnal disks.
With that MSI option: XP-x64, W7-64, W2008 R2 and Linux Suse could be installed
without any problem as on the 2 SATA 6 Gb/s S2600co on-bord "white ports".
I think that there is still a problem with those 4 SAS/SATA blue ports when you dont
have any additionnal RAID option installed. For this default SAS/SATA pass-throught
mode, it would be usefull to have a BIOS Storage sub-menu that display and enabled
the SATA devices connected.
We have other LGA 2011 systems: Asus Rampage IV Gene & MSI X79MA GD45
and we do not have issues with the 6 SATA ports (2 x 6Gb/s & 4 x 3Gb/s) on the
Intel X79 chipset whatever operating systems used.
Beyond I will investigate with a RAID SAS RAID Controller with Write-Back cache
in order to have high performance RAID 10 (6 to 8 SAS disks) using this S2600 board.
Regards, Paco
Most likely your issue is related to this:
Server Products — Failure to load driver during installation from some USB floppy drives
Possible workaround:
Server Products — Utilizing a USB floppy to install an operating system
Server Products — Slipstreamed install required for Microsoft* Windows
Infromation from Microsoft:
The power supply does have a 5 pin PS AUX cable. Is Intel calling the PS AUX what others are referring to as the PMBus? If so, I should be able to make the connection between the PMBus specification and the BMI Sensor Tables in the Intel TPS to what information from the PMBus is being used by the BMI to determine the Power Unit Redundancy Status.
The Intel TPS does refer to PMBus being required but only for determine power consumption and use in Intel Node Manager. The current consumption entries in Intel Active System console show " no sensor found" . Based on that information, it appears that the PS Aux cable from the power supply isn't compatible with the motherboard or I am missing a setup step to make the motherboard monitor the PMBus. If it isn't compatible, it appears I currently have no way to determine where the issue is or who is at fault if the PMBus v1.2 specification is what determined the communication over the PS Aux cable.
Does anyone know of a certain procedure that is required for the BMI to use the PS Aux connection?
I am only aware of a re-flash of the firmware to make it re-scan sensors.
Is anyone aware of any utilities to view what is coming in the PS Aux interface from the EFI Shell or Windows (Other than through Intel Active System Console)?
Thanks,
Brady
Olá,
Estou com este erro no meu servidor poweredge 1850 com o sistema operacional windows server 2008 R2 instalado e atualizado.
Sempre que vou tentar abrir o vmware server 2.0.2 e iniciar uma máquina virtual (XP ou 7), ele dá este erro!
As 2 placas de rede instaladas são as Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network connection.
Alguém tem ideia de como poder resolver este problema, desde já agradeço pelas ajudas, obrigado...

Did you run FRUSDR update AFTER plugging that AUX power cable?
Hi,
I'm using syscfg Version 11.0 Build 12 on CentOS 6.5 on a S2600GZ motherboard. I'm having problems getting useful output from syscfg
For example,
# /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /d biossettings An unknown error occured
or
# /usr/bin/syscfg/syscfg /d biossettings 'Quiet Boot' No data returned from CR An unknown error occured
but I can successfully do both a 'syscfg /bbo' and 'syscfg /prp OFF' even if I can't see the power settings. What am I missing?
You can try a later version: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23126&lang=eng
a couple common reasons 3rd party PSU have issues are:
IPMITOOL & IPMIUTIL (both on sourceforge.com) can be used to check communications between the base board and the power supply.
Here are a few IPMItool commands to check PSU communications
Since these are "raw" commands, they bypass the BMC logic and read the directly.
Power supply capabilities
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x52 0x0f 0xb0 0x01 0x19
Checks PS1 PMBus revision
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x52 0x0f 0xb0 0x01 0x98
Read PS1 FRU data
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x52 0x0f 0xA0 0x0f 0x00
Checking PS2 PMBUS revision
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x52 0x0f 0xB2 0x01 0x98
Checking PS2 FRU
ipmitool raw 0x06 0x52 0x0F 0xA2 0x0f 0x00
If the response back is "Unable to send RAW command (channel=0x0 netfn=0x6 lun=0x0 cmd=0x52 rsp=0x83): Unknown (0x83)" then your PSU is not present at the correct I2C address (or the wires are not hooked up)
Thanks, using the newer version did the trick.
I am going to replace the raid drives on my server and wanted to know if my plan will work before I actually attempt it.
I have a server board S1200BTL using ESRT II with 2 1TB SATA drives configured as Raid 1 in slots 0 and 1.
The operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2.
The virtual raid drive is configured with 2 partitions with an operating system partition and a data partition.
I need to add space to the operating system partition and as the drives have been in use for about 2 years l felt is was probably a good time to replace them.
The plan I have developed is as follows:
1. Remove the two existing raid drives (slots 0 and 1) and replace them with new unformatted 2TB drives.
2. Boot to the ESRT bios configuration and create a new raid 1 configuration.
3. Shut down the system, install the original slot 0 drive into slot 3.
4 Insert a bootable DVD with the WD version of Acronis disc Wizard cloning program and clone the original raid drive (in slot 3) onto the new virtual raid drive. This process includes increasing the sizes of the old partitions.
5. Shut down the system, remove the slot 3 drive and DVD and reboot into the Windows Operating System.
Anyone have any thoughts about this working or not?
Thanks

Gopi,
The S5000PHB server board was the baseboard for the carrier grade server TIGW1U. I believe it was in 2008 that Kontron purchased the Intel carrier hardware unit. You can find information for the TIGW1U, including available drivers at kontron.com

We are basing an appliance on the intel , which is now 3 seperate components instead of a single sku:R2224GZ4GC, RMS25CB080 & RES2CV360
the bios that ships with the older R2224GZ4GCSAS sku has an incredibly quiet fan speed it defaults to, which is fine, because our appliance will only have low heat hybrid drives, or ssd's.
I have upgraded the bios on one of our test nodes to the latest available for download, which does fix some issues we had with pci bios memory posting errors, however it kicks the fans up to a much louder default speed, and no amount of adjusting settings in the bios is able to fix it.
what can i do to run the new bios, and maintain the fan setting from the shipped bios.
I'm concerned that the bios in the R2224GZ4GC will ship upgraded, and I don't want to have to downgrade.
The simple way is to make the new drive as hot spare first, and then remove the faulty one. But if you don't have any free slot for the new drive, follow the steps below:
1. If the disk is already dead, remove it directly. If it's still accessible, select the drive and click "Force Offline", and then remove it.
2. Insert the new drive.
3. Select the Storage Pool, and then click "Rebuild".
4. Select the new drive to rebuild on.
Well it's quite possible that the bootable DVD with Acronis doesn't have embedded driver for ESRT2, which means when you boot from that DVD it won't even see the RAID volumes... Before making any changes you can try to boot from that DVD first and check if it detects the existing partition.
Try the steps in http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-022809.htm. If issue not fixed, check for errors in the SEL.
Hi.
assuming you have a spare slot available you could just add the drive, define it as a spare (non-revertable !) and then "force offline" the old drive.
Unfortunately you have to run the RAID in insecure mode for several hours. As it is possible that an other sector on an other drive is bad you might end up unrecoverable, maybe even with a completely failed RAID. Intel has no information on these critical situations and how the storage manager will behave.
I have requested two years ago to change that procedure so that one could have a "replace", where all available drives are taken into account when rebuilding the replacement drive. And only after the successful transition the "to-be-replaced-drive" will be shut down. But they decided to stop development of the IMS completely instead and even refined EoL-Date.( This is the worst I have ever seen in IT esp from Intel - now I am having headaches explaining this to my customers)!

Now I understand what you mean... Good point.
I did not find a way to use IPMItool on windows, appears it will need to be recompiled.
I tried the ipmiutil but so far have not uncovered all the information I needed to do the commands you spelled out for the ipmitool. all attempts have failed. It appears the raw command structure is different.
I did use the ipmiutil on windows and found the following information:
1. ipmiutil sensor
a. from S1400FP2 Motherboard with ACbel PS
0048 SDR FRU 11 0e dev: 20 02 80 00 07 01 PS1
0049 SDR FRU 11 0e dev: 20 03 80 00 07 02 PS2
b. From Intel R1304RP Server System
004a SDR FRU 11 0e dev: 20 02 80 00 07 35 PS1
Based on the limited research I have done so far, it appears these are the addresses of the power supplies.

The FRU command showed both power supplies as busy. Could this be an indication they are at the wrong addresses?
I am continuing to see if I can find the correct conversion of the raw commands because the queries above seem to indicate they are definitely not communicating all the data as compared to the Intel integrated system.
Thanks for the assistance.
