Intel® Server Board SDS2 Errata Listing

Revision 1.2

Order Number: A85874-002 113

1600x1200 Not supported.

Workaround: Utilize a video mode that is currently supported by the SDS2 Server Board.

Status: Fixed. SDS2 BIOS Production Release 2.4 (Build 47) and later versions have

added support for additional high resolution video modes. The following video

modes are supported by SDS2 BIOS Production Release 2.4 (Build 47) and

later versions:

640x480: Supported at refresh rates of 120Hz and lower

800x600: Supported at refresh rates of 100Hz and lower

1024x768: Supported at refresh rates of 80Hz and lower

1152x864: Supported at refresh rates of 75Hz and lower

1280x1024: Supported at refresh rates of 60Hz and lower

1600x1200: Not supported

Selecting an unsupported video mode no longer causes the monitor to turn gray

or to operate incorrectly.

11. Lower performance with CAS Latency 2 memory

Problem: Performance of the Intel® Server Board SDS2 memory subsystem is lower

than expected when CAS Latency 2 memory is used. The copy bandwidth

observed with CAS Latency 2 memory installed is less than the copy bandwidth

with CAS Latency 3 memory installed.

Implication: The memory subsystem copy performance of the SDS2 Server Board is lower

with CAS Latency 2 memory installed than with CAS Latency 3 memory

installed.

Workaround: Use of CAS Latency 3 memory is recommended for optimum memory

subsystem copy performance.

Status: Fixed. This issue is fixed in SDS2 BIOS Production Release 2.4 (Build 47) and

later versions. When using SDS2 BIOS Production Release 2.4 (Build 47), the

copy bandwidth observed with CAS Latency 2 memory installed is greater than

the copy bandwidth with CAS Latency 3 memory installed.

12. SDS2 reboots during POST with 4GB or more of total system memory installed

Problem: When 4GB or more of total system memory is installed in the SDS2 server

board, and the Extended RAM step option in BIOS Setup is set to “Every

Location”, the SDS2 server board will reboot during the memory scan portion of

POST. This is due to a timeout of the FRB-2 timer.
