Monthly Specification Update Enterprise Platforms and Services Marketing Workaround None. 34. After the system reboots, the POST screen may generate "NMI has been received - System Halted" message Problem After the system reboots, the POST screen may generate "NMI has been received - System Halted" message. Implication Along with this error, sometimes the "Bus Uncorrectable Error" may also be recorded to the System Event Log (SEL). Status This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0066 and later releases. Workaround Reboot the system again. 35. Intel® RAID Web Console 2 utility displays "Unexpected Sensor" warning message in Microsoft Windows* operating system Problem The "unexpected sensor" warning message may be displayed in the Intel® RAID Web Console 2 utility; however, there seem to be no functional issues with the system. Implication This warning message is only seen in Microsoft Windows* operating systems. Previous RAID firmware versions (before v.89) could not support any communication to the Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) on backplanes. The firmware was modified to support SEP devices, but the backplanes used in the Intel® Server Chassis SR1500, Intel® Server Chassis SR1550, and Intel® Server Chassis SR2500 do not respond as expected to the inquiry command, so the error is generated and captured in the log. This is a harmless message and does not cause any problems with the RAID array or the drives. Status This warning message is removed from the Intel® RAID Web Console 2's error reporting mechanism since RAID firmware v.4xx and later releases Workaround None. 17
