BMC SEL Timestamp Incorrect Information
Problem
The Intel® Server Board SE7520JR2 has been found to have a BIOS erratum
which causes the BMC SEL timestamp information to be incorrect. Beginning on
January 1, 2005, the BMC date will lag the system date by 1 day. The system
date January 1, 2005 will appear as December 31, 2004 in the BMC, and the
BMC will be one day behind thereafter. Another day will be lost on January 1 of
each succeeding year that follows a leapyear, i.e. 2009, 2013, etc
Implication
The effect of this erratum is that the BMC will use this incorrect date for all
entries in the System Event Log (SEL) maintained by the BMC. This includes
informational events as well as error events, e.g. memory error events. Other
BMC functions are unaffected..
Workaround
None.
Status
Fixed. This issue is corrected in produciton BIOS P07.10 and later.

Current BIOS does not support Legacy Mode for the on-board Serial
ATA (SATA) ports
Problem
The Intel® Server Boards SE7520JR2 (all SKUs) ship with the SATA ports from
the Intel® ICH5-R I/O controller configured in Enhance Mode as the default. The
current BIOS does not provide the user the capability to change the on-board
SATA ports to Legacy Mode.
Implication
Current BIOS limitation prevents users from installing and booting legacy
operating systems from the on-board SATA ports when not configured in SATA
RAID mode. Data access to SATA drives by Legacy operating systems installed
on on-board SCSI controller or alternate HBAs is supported.
Workaround
None.
Status
No Fix.
9
Non-threshold base sensors mBMC responds threshold value.
Problem
When a Get Sensor Thresholds command is sent to the mBMC for a non-
threshold based sensor, the mBMC responds to the command as though the
sensor was a threshold based sensor. The command should return an error
code indicating that the request was not valid for that sensor, which it doesn't.
Implication
A misleading threshold sensor information will be sent to any applications using
the Get Sensor Thresholds command when issued to a non-thershold based
sensor.
Workaround
None.
