Problem If the user clears the BIOS CMOS settings via jumper or using the Sysconfig
/bldfs switch, the date in BIOS setup may be corrupted and read 09XX.
Implication An invalid date stamp, 09XX, may be displayed in BIOS setup after clearing
BIOS CMOS settings using the jumper or the Syscfg utility resulting in the user
having to perform an extra reboot of the system to recover the date in the
proper format.
Status This issue was fixed in BIOS release R0045.
Workaround An additional reboot will reset the date format in BIOS setup. However, the
user will have to set the date and time to the current local settings.
17. Intel® Active System Console (IASC) 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 may fail to detect
status of memory voltage sensors
Problem When using low voltage memory DIMM’s the FRUSDR enables the
corresponding memory voltage sensor for the type of memory installed and
leaves the other memory sensor disabled. The current version of the IASC
cannot judge that status of memory voltage sensor that have been disabled
and marks the sensor as “0”. The “0” reading is lower than the threshold
should be. This causes it to show in the IASC monitor as a critical warning.
Implication IASC fails to judge the status of disabled sensors and still considers those
sensors to server health algorithm.
Status We will fix this issue on IASC next release.
Workaround None
