Serial Over LAN (SOL) unable to redirect DOS output
Problem
No SOL output displays when booted to DOS. SOL only redirects F2 Setup and
POST output.
Implication
Users who require SOL to redirect DOS output cannot use this feature.
Status
This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0054 and later releases.
Workaround
None.
17.
Password on boot not supported
Problem
If an admin or user password is defined in the BIOS setup, these will be
required before the user can enter the BIOS Setup. There is no option to
configure a password during POST before the server boots.
Implication
Users will not be able to create a password and will not require a password on
boot.
Status
Intel does not intend to fix this erratum.
Workaround
None.
18.
Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II option is not enabled in initial
BIOS release
Problem
The Intel
®
Embedded Server RAID Technology II feature that was available in
pre-production BIOS releases is not available in the initial production BIOS
release. The option ROM that allows configuration of the Intel
®
Embedded
Server RAID Technology II was deemed not ready for production by Intel at this
time.
Implication
Users who require or were planning to use this feature in their production
environments must wait for a post-launch BIOS release, which will have this
feature enabled.
Status
This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0057 and later releases.
Workaround
Several hardware RAID options are readily available and supported by Intel
®
Server Boards. Consult the product
Tested Hardware and Operating System
List
for a variety of hardware options. No workarounds for the Intel
®
Embedded
Server RAID Technology II are available.
