Monthly Specification Update Enterprise Platforms and Services Marketing Errata 1. IPMI over serial direct connect not supported Problem Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5000 sequence-based server boards list support for IPMI access via serial direct connect. Serial access to the BMC is not supported at this time. Implication Users should use the IPMI over LAN interface to connect to the BMC. Note: This only affects serial and terminal mode access to the BMC; this does not affect BIOS console redirection and operating system redirection via serial port. Status This erratum may be fixed in a future firmware revision and hardware revision. Workaround None. 2. Serial over LAN and IPMI over LAN connections may terminate unexpectedly under certain conditions Problem During an active serial over LAN connection or an active IPMI over LAN connection to the BMC, the connection may be intermittently lost during a DC cycle or reset. Implication The user's connection may be lost and the user must reconnect to the session. Status This erratum may be fixed in a future firmware revision. Workaround None. 3. Intermittent beep code 1-5-2-1 when booting with two processors Problem During POST, if two processors are installed, the system may pause at POST code 0x13 (SMM Initialization). This may result in a 1-5-2-1 beep code and a processor event in the System Event Log (SEL). Implication The system may log erroneous errors in the SEL or via beep code, and under some conditions, the system may halt at 0x13 and require an AC cycle. Status This erratum is fixed in BMC release 47 and later releases. Workaround If an error is encountered, AC cycle the system and the system should run normally. 4. Power supply population errors may not display in the SEL 5

Errata
1.
IPMI over serial direct connect not supported
Problem
Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor 5000 sequence-based server boards list
support for IPMI access via serial direct connect. Serial access to the BMC is
not supported at this time.
Implication
Users should use the IPMI over LAN interface to connect to the BMC.
Note:
This only affects serial and terminal mode access to the BMC; this does
not affect BIOS console redirection and operating system redirection via serial
port.
Status
This erratum may be fixed in a future firmware revision and hardware revision.
Workaround
None.
2.
Serial over LAN and IPMI over LAN connections may terminate
unexpectedly under certain conditions
Problem
During an active serial over LAN connection or an active IPMI over LAN
connection to the BMC, the connection may be intermittently lost during a DC
cycle or reset.
Implication
The user’s connection may be lost and the user must reconnect to the session.
Status
This erratum may be fixed in a future firmware revision.
Workaround
None.
3.
Intermittent beep code 1-5-2-1 when booting with two processors
Problem
During POST, if two processors are installed, the system may pause at POST
code 0x13 (SMM Initialization). This may result in a 1-5-2-1 beep code and a
processor event in the System Event Log (SEL).
Implication
The system may log erroneous errors in the SEL or via beep code, and under
some conditions, the system may halt at 0x13 and require an AC cycle.
Status
This erratum is fixed in BMC release 47 and later releases.
Workaround
If an error is encountered, AC cycle the system and the system should run
normally.
