SE7500CW2 Server Board Technical Product Specification
CXVI
Revision 1.40
11. BIOS 1.17 incorrectly sets the BIOS EDBA memory area to 0
bytes.
Problem Without EBDA BIOS memory allocation, PCI-based cards that require this
space may have inconsistent performance.
Implication Certain cards like High-Availibility adapters may fail.
Workaround None
Status Fixed in BIOS 1.23.
12. BIOS 1.17, 1.18 NIC disabling switch turns off the wrong NIC.
Problem If you disable NIC1 in F2 BIOS then NIC2 is turned off. If you disable NIC2 in F2
BIOS NIC1 is turned off. You will see this with the NIC LEDs on rear and on the
SC5200 front panel NIC lights.
Implication The wrong NIC could be disabled accidentally.
Workaround None
Status Fixed in BIOS 1.23.
13. UUID not programmed on TA A88031-505, A88029-004, and
A88030-003 below boards (PBA A87967-506).
Problem SyMBIOS UUID (unique board identifier) has not been programmed at the
factory. This may make it difficult for such programs like Linux High
Performance Clusters (HPC) to work properly.
Implication The only way to uniquely identify a SE7500CW2 system board is by reading the
bar code number sticker next to the Onboard Promise* RAID chip (PDC20267).
An example of the unique identifier would be BPCW23701091.
Workaround None.
Status To be correctly programmed on A88031-507, A88029-007, and A88030-006
boards in early Q1 ‘2003. See PCN #103036-01 (ECO #6052488) for more
details.
14. Logical processors are no longer listed in BIOS POST if
hyper-threading is enabled in F2 BIOS setup.
