What am I seeing?

I'm encountering an unexpected system behavior on my Intel® Server Board S2600CW Family from:

  • Noisy fans
  • Unexpected reboots or shutdowns
  • Errors during OS installation
  • Front Panel LEDs flashing or blinking amber
  • Other issues

Environment

Note This symptom may also happen on other Intel® Server Boards.

How to fix it

  • First of all, ensure that firmware for all basic onboard components (BIOS, BMC, ME, FRUSDR) is updated to latest available versions from this package or its Intel® One Boot Flash Update (Intel® OFU) version. See the versions listed in the download record description.
  • In order to check firmware version for the components mentioned, follow these instructions:
  1. Press F2 during boot when the logo screen first displays.
  2. Under the Main tab, you see the BIOS version listed.

    Note 01.01.2024 is considered an old BIOS firmware version and needs to be updated.
