Installation Guidelines Intel® Server Board SE7500CW2 6.3 Adaptec 2100S, 2110S, or 3410S, RAID cards cause LILO to hang during POST with Red Hat 7.3. Issue: Red Hat Linux 7.3 will fail to boot when an Adaptec 2100S, 2110S, or 3410S, RAID card is installed and running Adaptec BIOS 1.60. Implication: When running the Adaptec* card in "EBDA relocation" mode the system will not boot with Adaptec BIOS 1.60. Running Adaptec* BIOS v1.62 in conjunction with BIOS 1.17 will provide support for Adaptec* RAID cards mentioned above. Once installed it is still necessary to disable "EBDA relocation" in the Adaptec* RAID setup. Guideline: None. Status: Pending production release of BIOS from Adaptec*, please contact Adaptec for availability. Currently it is recommended to use Adaptec* test BIOS 1.62 for the 2100S, and 1.63 for 2110S and 3410S cards. 6.4 Intel SRCU42L BIOS and firmware levels. Issue: Incorrect levels may cause the card to fail. Implication: RAID configuration inaccessible. Guideline: None. Status: It is recommended to use the following versions of RAID software with Board BIOS 1.23, SRCU32L BIOS 7.02B and Firmware2.34.00-R024 18 Revision 1.50
