Random drives may go offline when a sixth drive is installed and Intel®
Embedded Server RAID Technology II is enabled in the Intel® Server
System SR2500ALBRP
Problem
When a sixth drive is installed and Intel
is enabled in the Intel
offline. This may result in boot failure of the Intel
Technology II or the operating system.
Implication
This may result in boot failure of the Intel
II or the operating system.
Status
Fixed. This was identified as a documentation issue. The sixth drive backplane
insert needs to be cabled directly to the server board. Use the cabling method
documented at:
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-025698.htm
Workaround
Not Applicable.

Intel recommends enterprise-class hard drives for use with Intel® Server
Systems
Problem
Some desktop-class hard disk drives show performance loss and, in some
cases, take the drive offline when running in an enterprise environment.
Implication
Desktop drives often lack workload management to lower thermal stresses and
have a lower tolerance for the normal rotational vibration found in a server
environment. They are not designed to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week
and may fail prematurely when installed in a server. To attain best performance
and avoid drive failures, Intel recommends using enterprise-class hard drives
for server applications.
Status
No fix.
Workaround
None.

Dual Gigabit Expansion Module may not properly reset
Problem
In certain conditions, it is possible the Dual Gigabit Expansion Module may not
properly reset after a system reset.
Implication
If the expansion module does not properly reset, the module could lose
network connectivity and the operating system will not see the Gigabit ports.
This was only seen on the Intel
Status
This erratum will be fixed in a future revision of the Dual Gigabit Expansion
Module.
