includes the service pack integrated into the installation, or install Windows and
service pack prior to updating to BIOS 79 or 81. Additionally, the R2 release
versions of Windows do not exhibit this issue. Use of this version of Windows,
if possible, is also another valid workaround.
An issue with BMC 60 is causing incorrect interpretation of the user selected
BIOS Setup Open Loop Thermal Throttling (OLTT) options. Advanced BIOS
Setup contains OLTT selections for Performance Mode and Acoustic
mode. BMC 60 is recognizing a Performance Mode selection in BIOS setup as
Acoustic mode request. Acoustic mode selection in BIOS setup is being
disregarded and fail safe defaults for Fan Profiles are enforced. This
misinterpretation can manifest the BIOS/BMC interaction causing a throttling
condition slowing down the system performance significantly.
Systems set to Performance mode are incorrectly being configured in
Acoustics mode which could make the system more susceptible to overheating,
especially in 1U chassis or performance degradation due to memory throttling
rather than fan boosts being used to cool the memory. Systems being
configured to Acoustics mode in the BIOS are actually being set up in fail safe
state.
This erratum will be fixed in a future firmware revision.
Downgrading firmwares of Integrated RAID (ROMB), Embedded Server RAID
Technology II (ESRT2) or SAS from original version to older versions might cause
unexpected issues, like controller broken, controller invisible during system POST. The
failure could be a permanent damage that cannot be recovered
Any downgrade actions of firmware could result in system broken and we do
not officially support firmware downgrade for any of above situations.
No Fix. This is not an issue. Do not downgrade firmwares in Integrated RAID (ROMB),
Embedded Server RAID Technology II (ESRT2) or SAS.
