Checkup7.exe (microcode update utility) is not storing microcode in BIOS
Problem
The Checkup7.exe utility, which is used to update the processor microcode in
the BIOS, is not working properly. The utility says it completes the flash update
successfully; however, upon the next reboot, the microcode is not actually
present in the BIOS.
Implication
Users cannot update their BIOS with a new processor microcode.
Status
This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0057 and later releases.
Workaround
Users must update to the latest BIOS revision which includes the latest
processor microcode releases. They cannot use this utility to add a microcode
patch to the existing BIOS.

Intel® RAID Controller SRCSAS144E causes systems to reset multiple
times before completing POST
Problem
With the Intel
system may become caught in a reset loop during POST. The system resets
itself four to five times before completing POST. This is seen early in POST
within the first few seconds of power on and before video initialization. POST
code LEDs show 0x21 "Chipset" Initializing a chipset component.
Implication
POST takes approximately 15-20 seconds longer to complete.
Status
This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0057 and later releases.
Workaround
Moving the RAID controller into a different slot sometimes resolves this issue.
Populating the card in a slower bus (x4 or x8) seems to make this issue appear
less frequently.
