Intel® Server Board SDS2

Implication:

The SDS2 server board will not complete POST if more than 4GB or more of

 

total system memory is installed and the Extended RAM step option in BIOS

 

Setup is set to “Every Location”.

Workaround:

Choose a different option besides “Every Location” for the Advanced à Memory

 

Configuration à Extended RAM Step BIOS Setup option. The default setting for

 

this option is “Disabled”.

Status:

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

 

later versions.

13.Novell NetWare* v. 6.0 does not install on SDS2

Problem:

Novell NetWare* v. 6.0 will not install on the SDS2 server board. The install

 

proceeds normally until the NetWare v. 6.0 splash screen appears for the first

 

time. The install will then start iterating the portion of the install from “initializing

 

system resources” to the splash screen indefinitely.

Implication:

Novell NetWare* v. 6.0 cannot be installed to the SDS2 server board.

Workaround:

None.

Status:

Fixed. This issue has been root caused as a Novell NetWare* v. 6.0 operating

 

system issue. Novell has released NetWare v. 6.0 support pack (SP) 1, which

 

fixes this issue. Intel has verified the Novell NetWare* v. 6.0 can be

 

successfully installed to the SDS2 server board when SP1 is applied. The

 

procedure for applying SP1 is as follows:

1.Create a 200MB bootable DOS partition on the installation hard drive.

2.Format the partition and create a directory called “nwupdate”.

3.Copy server.exe from the SP1 directory “startup” into the “nwupdate” directory.

4.Launch the Novell NetWare* v. 6.0 install, and select to use the existing boot partition.

14.Adaptec* 2100S RAID controller causes system lockup and video blanking

Problem:

When an Adaptec* 2100S RAID controller is installed in the SDS2 server board,

 

the video will blank and the system will lock up during POST when the onboard

 

SCSI controller option ROM is set to “Enabled” in the SDS2 BIOS setup (defalt

 

option).

Implication:

The Adaptec* 2100S RAID controller cannot be used with the SDS2 server

 

board when the onboard SCSI controller option ROM is set to “Enabled” in the

 

SDS2 BIOS setup.
