"Battery Probe 0 (System board CMOS battery) is Unknown reading"

We just had a service call on a Dell Poweredge R720 to replace a power supply that became unusable after doing a Lifecycle Firmware Controller firmware update that went bad when updating the power slot firmware.

Once the new power supply was installed, the error indicator on the console went from orange to blue and the server is operating properly.  No errors show in OMSA.

However, I use the Open_Manager plugin for Nagios/Icinga to monitor my Dell servers, and it is showing an error on the R720:

"Battery Probe 0 (System board CMOS battery) is Unknown reading"

Is there any way I can clear this error (especially without having another service call)?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello.

I recently discovered that the computer boot sometimes "d2"(D2) Error number on the motherboard,no video, network search did not solve the problem.

I tried to remove all the cpu / ram, remove battery . only equipped with a cpu and 4gb ram battery , the problem remains.

Sometimes there will be a normal start (AA) enter windows. Others are (D2).

Debug code on the system board is "amibios" it?

Thank you

My device:

poweredge C6100

xeon x5650 x 2

Hi All,

I just wonder that do i need to use extra power cable to support Nvidia K5200 graphics card in Dell T620 server. If yes, could you give me any product number or web side for the cable? I know there is a GPU kit to install K20 to the server but i am not sure for K5200. Also, i did not see any T620 configuration along with Nvidia K5200 in the net but i think that it is possible. Any suggestion might help at this point.

Best Regards,

PE1900MB vs PE2900MB?

Would a PE2900MB (and raid card i supposed) fit in a PE1900 chassis?

They look pretty much the same, but the 2900 has better ram and CPU support. Hence why i wish to possibly change.

Hi, 

I have 5 Dell m1000e chassiswith 16 blades each.

When I need to use the DRAC to manage the blades, everything is SO SLOW... it can take 30 seconds to a minute for each click.

Ex: I'M in the cassis overview, I click on one blade it takes 40 seconds. I then click on Launch DRAC GUI it takes 40 seconds to show the ssl warning, I click on continue and another 40 seconds... to get to the GUI.. 

any idea?

The DRACs of the chassis and blades are on the same  isolated VLAN.

Perc 5/i, all drives in array blinking amber. Server won't boot to OS.

In a PowerEdge 2900, Perc 5/i.  Two arrays, a 4 HDD RAID 5 and a 2 HDD RAID1.  RAID 1 is fine.

RAID 5 array, a single disk was showing amber.  We replaced the drive with a seagate, same model as the rest in the array.  Array rebuilt, things were working fine.  Fast forward approximately 10 days, another drive in the RAID 5 array shows amber.  We ordered another seagate and replaced.  In the process of rebuilding the array, we lost had another go amber.  The config utility reported the array as failed.  Restarted the server, and the controller reported "foreign config".  Imported the config, and the array came back online.  However now all four drives in the array are blinking amber.  Can not boot in to the OS, nor even boot to Windows install CD.

Using Open Manage to add drives to Perc 6/i and H700?

Hi we just put two new drives each into two of our machines. They are

r410 with Perc 6/i, 2 x 3TB WD Red drives

r510 with H700, 2 x Samsung EVO 250 GB


We plugged in the drives and didn't initialize them before we turned on the machine. Is the only option now to shut the machines down and issue Ctrl + R before boot to manage the drives?

We are not even seeing these newly plugged in drives show up in the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator.

Or is there any other easier alternatives? We have iDRAC express on the machines, but I don't see any options that would help me in there.

PowerEdge 2400 Power Supplies voltage drop from 5V to 1.5 V

Hi all.

One of my venerable PowerEdge 2400 servers is damaging power supplies.  In my efforts to isolate the problem by parts swapping with a working server I managed to wreck five power supplies before discovering that this was the problem.  I now have no more spare power supplies.  Given funding limitations I want to repair the damaged power supplies.  Where can I get manuals or schematics that will guide me through fault isolation and repair for the power supplies.

Thx

R900 vSphere 5.5u2 LACP Issue

Has anyone had any issues with the integrated NICs on the R900 management card not working properly with LACP in vSphere 5.5u2? I have two 6800s using add-in cards on my Extreme Summit 400 stack that seem to work just fine (other than ping amplification), but whenever I plug in more than one interface on the R900s, I lose connectivity to the R900. All ports in the group work individually, none work together. These are new to me R900s. I made an update CD yesterday with DRM, so the firmware should be current. The switch is configured exactly the same for those ports, verified with a config dump. Going back and forth from the R900s to the 6800s in vCenter the vSwitch appears to be configured the same. I'm not sure what else to try at this point.

Yes or No: Will a Xeon Phi 31S1p work in a Dell Power Edge 710..?

I won a university prize for a neural network (and some OpenMP and MPI coursework) on a HPC system.

The prize is a Xeon Phi 31S1p passively cooled 59 processor card.

I saw a Dell Power Edge for sale ( Dell PowerEdge R710 Server 2 x X5550 2.67Ghz QC / 32GB /Perc 6 / 2 x PSU 870W ).

Just to confirm if this server supports 

** An X16/X16 PCIe slot
** a motherboard with 64-bit BAR support.
** 2 x 870W PSU should be enough(?)
** Very good airflow as "this is a passive card that will idle around 70W and hit close to 300W under load. If you don’t have air moving through it you will see it’s magic smoke escape"

In short,

Will a Xeon Phi 31S1p work in a Dell Power Edge 710..?

Thanks.

R.
