Intel® Server Board SDS2

Errata Listing

Problem:

Mechanical interference between the Myelex installed memory module (DIMM)

 

and the onboard SCSI connector occurs if a Wide or Singled Ended SCSI cable

 

is installed on embedded SCSI A or B connector. LVD SCSI cable connectors

 

do not interfer.

 

Implication:

Mechanical interference may damage the Mylex memory module connector and

 

DIMM when the Mylex AcceleRADI 352 Adaptor Card ins fully seated in PCI slot

 

6 connector.

 

Workaround:

Insure correct SCSI cable connector is used if a cables are installed on the

 

onboard SCSI connectors at SCSI A or B.

 

Status:

Will not fix.

 

26.Bootable CD will not boot if inserted during OPTION ROM scan

Problem:

During POST while the OPTION ROM scan for the on board (OB) devices and

 

add in PCI adapters is in process, if an bootable CD-ROM is inserted in to he

 

CD-ROM, the system will not attempt to boot to the CD-ROM. An attempt to

 

boot to the floppy was made and then the OS on the hard drive booted. No

 

attempt was made to boot to the bootable CDROM.

Implication:

Bootable CD-ROM must be inserted before POST begins or the system is

 

reset.

Workaround:

Reset system after CD-ROM is inserted.

Status:

Will not fix.

27.Swapping bootable for non-bootable CDROM during POST causes hang at boot.

Problem:

Powered on the system with a bootable Win2k AS CD in the CDROM drive. As

 

soon as the BIOS began to POST add-in cards with OPTION ROMS the

 

Bootable CD was ejected and a non-bootable CD was inserted. When the

 

system completed POST and attempted to boot, the floppy drive showed an

 

access attempt. The system then hanged with a blinking cursor on a black

 

background. The boot order was set with 1)Floppy 2) CDROM 3) Hard Drive.

Workaround:

Reset the system. BIOS does not rescan status of boot devices upon

 

completion of POST.

Status:

Will not fix.
