Os Installation On External Disks Requires Partition On Internal Disk (6238985); Alert And Power Failure Leds Might Illuminate If Amd Powernow! Feature Is Enabled (6310814); Windows Server 2003: Graceful Shutdown And Power Off Fails (6293118) - Sun Microsystems Fire X4100 Product Notes

OS Installation on External Disks Requires
Partition on Internal Disk (6238985)
Before you install Windows Server 2003 on any external device, you must create a
partition on an internal disk for the setup files. A partition is not required if you
install Windows Server 2003 on an internal disk.
Alert and Power Failure LEDs Might Illuminate If
AMD PowerNow! Feature is Enabled (6310814)
The AMD PowerNow! feature is disabled in the BIOS by default. Before enabling it,
verify that your operating system and applications support the PowerNow! feature.
If you enable PowerNow! in a Windows Server 2003 environment, you might see a
loss of timer ticks and a decrease in CPU voltage, resulting in alert and power failure
LEDs illuminating.
Workaround
Disable the PowerNow! feature by using the BIOS Setup utility. The menu path to
the feature's screen is Main -> Advanced -> AMD PowerNow Configuration.
Windows Server 2003: Graceful Shutdown and
Power Off Fails (6293118)
If a system running Windows Server 2003 OS is in screen lock state and you try to
turn off the system remotely using the "Graceful shutdown and power off" option
(Remote Control -> Remote Power Control), the shutdown does not occur and the
service processor issues the following error:
ChassisCtrl.c : Invalid Chassis task parameter
Windows Server 2003 allows a graceful shutdown only if you are logged in as
Administrator. This is expected Windows Server 2003 behavior.
Workaround
Use the Java Remote Console to log in as Administrator and issue a graceful
shutdown.
