Installation and Use
3 Continuous Beeps on POST
3 continuous beeps or Diagnostic LED pattern, Red Red Green Amber indicates a memory problem. Ensure RAM is installed in pairs in the corresponding banks, for example bank 1a and 1b.

Adapter Teaming
Intel® Server Management and Adapter Teaming are not compatible with each other. A third network adapter is necessary if you require both management and a teamed network interface.

Beep Code 1-1-1-1, or no video
Install memory in pairs: 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, or 3A and 3B.

Cannot Boot From IDE HD if CD-ROM Is Set As Master
If the slimline CD-ROM is hard coded to Master, set the IDE hard drive to slave.

Configuration and Usage of RJ-45 Serial Ports

The Intel(R) Server Board SCB2 implements a serial port using an RJ-45 connector rather than the more traditional DB-9 connector. The RJ-45 serial connector found in the I/O area of the board is designed to work with a serial concentrator or modem device. There are jumper settings immediately adjacent to the RJ-45 serial connector on the board. By default, the jumpers are set to work with a Cisco* standard serial concentrator using the DSR signal. In order to configure the port to use a modem or other standard serial device, the jumpers need to be set for DCD communication.

Refer to the Intel Server Board SCB2 Product Guide for details.

If the Intel Server Board SCB2 is integrated with either the Intel(R) Server Chassis SR1200 or Intel(R) Server Chassis SR2200, a front RJ-45 serial connector is available. This connector is set up to support PC to PC communication only. The purpose for this connector is for quick access to the server management capabilities of the Intel Server Board SCB2 system using a ""crash cart"" or similar PC running the server management software. This port, if used, will disable the rear serial port until the cable has been removed. For customers needing a converter from RJ-45 to DB-9, an accessory kit including adapters for DCD, DSR and PC to PC communication, the order code for this kit is AXXRJ45DB9.



Configuring a RAID Array using the on-board Promise* ATA RAID Controller
When the Promise* FastTrack100™ BIOS screen appears, press CTRL+F to go to the setup screen.
"Optimize Array for Performance" creates a RAID 0.
"Optimize Array for Capacity" creates a span.
"Optimize Array for Security" creates a RAID 1.
"Create & Duplicate" copies the master disk to the slave, useful for mirroring existing data.


Do Not Attach a Processor Heatsink to the Processor Terminator
The Intel® Server Board SCB2 requires a processor terminator when integrating a single processor. Do not attach a heatsink.

Dual SCSI Channels
A zero-channel RAID controller cannot create a single array across both connectors. The arrays are on separate channels.

Error: VBAT Sensor 17 - Voltage Error
Also seen as "Sensor 17" or "Voltage error out of range" errors in the SEL. Remove and replace the CMOS battery.

Error: "8307: BIOS/POST watchdog system failure"

The BIOS Boot Block was not updated before the operational code. Type the following commands at the DOS prompt:

A> IFLASH.EXE /P P10-0039.BBO
A> 1.BAT


Error: "gdk-error**: fatal IO error 104 [connection reset by peer] on xserver:1"
Select "Text Installation Only" if installing Red Hat* Linux* 7.1 with no mouse connected. Xserver cannot start without a mouse being connected.

Error: "Warning - FastTrak does not detect proper interrupts"
The server may hang while booting with an error: "Warning - FastTrak does not detect proper interrupts. Please check your PCI IRQ setup and make sure the PCI slot support Bus Mastering operations." if the Pause key was pressed, while the Promise* option ROM loads. Do not attempt to pause during this load.

Removing the Reserve Sector of an IDE Hard Drive on the Promise* FastTrak100
Symptoms

Unable to partition or format a drive successfully.
When attempting to remove a partition with FDISK the volume name is unreadable, making it impossible to complete the removal.
Problems with reading and writing to the drives or array, such as fatal errors or corruption.
Array constantly goes into Critical or Off-line Mode during a reboot.
Problems rebuilding mirrors (RAID 1) and mirror/stripe (RAID 0+1)

Cause

When any array is created using the Promise* FastTrak100 RAID Controller, a reserve sector is placed on each drive that belongs to the newly created array. This reserve sector allows the Promise* FastTrak100 to identify which drives belong to which array. The reserve sector also contains file allocation information that is needed for reading and writing to any array. The reserve sector can become corrupt or bad from time to time causing any number of issues to arise.

Solution

To clean up a corrupt or bad reserve sector, you must remove the reserve sector, then rebuild the reserve sector by recreating or rebuilding the array.

*When removing the reserve sector on drives that belong to any mirror, you should remove the reserve sector from the ""mirror"" drive first. Remove the reserve sector on the master drive as a last resort. If the reserve sectors on both disks are removed, data will be unrecoverable.

**Removing the reserve sector from any drive that belongs to a stripe set will result in a non-functional array and data loss.

  1. When the FastTrak100 BIOS comes up, press CTRL-F to enter the BIOS.
  2. Press 2 to "View Drive Assignments".
  3. Using the arrow keys, highlight the first drive.
  4. Press ALT-F1. The highlighted drive will start blinking on the screen.
  5. Press CTRL-TAB and a message will appear that says the reserved sector (which is where array information is kept) on the disk will be wiped. Press "Y" to confirm.
  6. Do this for each member of the particular array that is having a problem.
  7. When finished, hit the ""ESC"" key twice to reboot.
  8. After rebooting re-enter the FastTrack100* BIOS and rebuild or recreate the array.


Single Drive Jumpered As Slave Not Seen
Promise* FastBuild will allow creation of an array on a single drive, jumpered as slave. However, the operating system driver will fail to locate any hard drives. Configure the single drive as a master device.

Some USB Devices Prevent Booting
Remove the USB device from the port while booting, and reconnect the device after the OS has finished loading.
