To All,
I Attempting to upgrade the firmware in a T430. I boot into Lifecycle Controller during post and several upgrades are required. When I click apply it attempts to retrieve the update but then fails with the following error:
Unable to install the update packages (SUP0531)
Enter another Repository Location that has the updates...
How can I solve this?

I have several C2100 units and decided to get the OS off the main drives(front bays) and utilize
the internal drives. I purchased the internal SATA drive cable which has two SATA connectors on one end and a single 'card edge' slot designed plug on the other.
I'm looking all around on the motherboard and the H710 card and cannot find where to plug the internal drives in. I'm starting to think there's some other sort of option that I need to get.
I was thinking possibly to use the onboard SATA drive connectors but there must be some sort of daughtercard that accepts the connector for the two internal drives.
Can anyone help with this? Possibly give me a part number, description, etc of what board I need to get?
Thanks a bunch!
İ need certification documents bellow for PowerEdge R330.

Hi,
we have a problem with our Dell R320 server. It shows "Initializing iDrac .." when starts and after a while funs are run on full speed and the server reboot itself. Problem is, that server has no iDrac installed. I had been waiting x minutes till server starts and then I updated all firmwares via DVD, but no change. I also tried to clear NVRAM, power off server by removing power cord, press power button for 15seconds, power on server again, no luck.
Do you have any advice what should I do? Server has no warranty.
Thank you for any ideas.

Good morning.
I have a Dell PowerEdge R630 that was purchase with a Qlogic 57840S daughter card, by mistake. I replaced the QLogic card with a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet BCM5720 card, as I have them in several other R630. After installing the card I receive the following error on boot:
'HWC2005 System board Riser cable or interconnect failure'
The system will boot in spite of the error, but the NIC will not communicate with the switch. When I run the Windows diagnostic scan it states there is no ethernet cable found, or bad. I know the cables that I have used are not bad and am not sure how to resolve the issues. I have updated the Broadcom NetXtreme drivers to the latest available.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

My Dell PowerEdge T620 does not see the live internet often and its time to upgrade the firmware for this machine. The last machine I upgraded the firmware for I have to do it in incremental steps. The current firmware versions are: BIOS Version 1.2.6, Firmware Version 1.20.20 (Build 24), Lifecycle Controller Firmware
1.0.8.42. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi guys,
Hoping someone can help! We need this server up and running desparately.
Was working fine, purchased new in Jan 2016. The power light on the server 'power-on-button' is not on. Try pressing the power button, nothing happens.
If I unplug the power cable from the PSU, leave out for a minute, then plug back in, it will start to spin up for about 5 seconds then switch back off again. Pressing the power button does nothing. There is a push-button on the back of the PSU (see picture attached), if I press and hold that, the PSU stays on and the server begins to boot. If I let go of it, it immediately drops power.
I have provided a video of the behaviour so you can see what it's doing. Any help is appreciated!(Please visit the site to view this video)
Hi,
I just got myself a very nice T430 to replace my aging T410.
I just love that machine... but my trouble is as follows:
- The T430 I purchased was a previously-racked T430. (I think it was ordered as RACK since the front panel has the VGA port)..
- As such, it is lacking its cover cover and pedestal feet.
I'm operating the server standing on the floor and I'm concerned about the missing cover (for heat) and the feet (for vibrations).
I contacted Dell to purchase those parts but they said they couldn't sell them to me.. That's really unfortunate.. :(
Would anyone who has converted a T430 to RACK (and removed both the cover and feet) be willing to sell these parts to me?
Please help,
Thanks,
Vincent
Hello, I have a R730 server that came with Windows Server 2012R2 factory installed and would like to reset OS to factory config.
Could someone please tell the the procedure to do that?
I've been searching and haven't been able to finde a specific answer for this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Today I tried to upgrade the RAM of a T310 server (one X3440 processor) using 4x8Gb memory modules
The mainboard has 6 slots in a row. (The 1st and the 4th slot have white clips).
So, I've installed 2 dimms on the 1st and 2nd slot, and the other 2 ones on the 4th and 5th slot (starting from the top)
When i boot up the server, the lcd on the front, shows the following message "Temp: unavailable" (I think there's more on that message but it stucks there), the fan works on 100% and nothing happens. No screen, no "beeps", no leds on keyboard or mouse, nothing.
I've upgrade BIOS to 1.11.0 but the problem stil remains.
Can you please help me?
Thank you in advance
Hello,
In a M1000E, our 6 M600 can not be re-installed anymore because we have no more access to their virtual CDROM in the DRAC console on boot.
We tried with two different M1000E, and tried with different blades and slots, to no avail.
- CMC : 5.12
- BIOS : 2.4.0
- DRAC : 1.65 build 1
We followed Dell's procedure, but anyway, we're using them since 7 years and are very accustomed with Dell's products. (We already tried every guru recipes : reset, cold boot, long button press, memory dumps and power cold down...)
Dell's forum readings seem to show similar cases with no useful answer.
Did the CMC upgrade to 5.12 (or earlier) broke this feature?
Thank you.

PERC H330 unsupported drives.
Purchased a Dell T330 Server with PERC H330 RAID Controller (Firmware 25.4.1.0004) w/ 300GB RAID1 Dell SAS drive (ST300MM0008). I attempted to add another RAID1 using two Seagate Constellation (ES.3 ST2000NM0023 2TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SAS 6Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise) Internal Hard Drives. I can see the new drives under DISKS, but the STATE of the new drives is UNSUPORTED and I cannot add as 2nd RAID1
According to Dell Support, I should be able to add the uncertified drives and configure the 2nd RAID1 regardless. The Virtual Disk Wizard does not see available space to create a RAID1. 1 have spent 1 week with their support team and escalation engineers never call back. I have been using uncertified drives for years now with no problem on other Dell Servers.
Any suggestions?

We have a Dell T110 that has been running 24/7 for the past 6 years as a point of sale server. Because it runs proprietary software, we are forced to use a 32 bit version of Windows 2003. However, I was fortunate enough to get an ATI card, Creative sound card, and USRobotics fax modem working in this thing for most of that time. But suddenly, I am beginning to get stop errors! I pulled everything except the video card and modem. However, even with this configuration, I still see PCI bus, RAM, CPU, and Platform errors in Windows Management Instrumention (WMI) through event viewer.
Given the age of the system, is there a good way to potentially diagnose if I have a failing card somewhere or if the motherboard itself is going? Contacting Pro Support, I was told there was pretty much nothing they could do since I was using hardware that was not certified for use in this server. Any suggestions on pinning down the specificity of the issue?
And on kind of a tangent, this is a T110 first generation server. Because of cost limitations, we are unable to upgrade the entire server and its linked nodes. If this thing went down, would it be possible to transplant the PERC S300 controller and its drives to a T110 second generation and just keep running from there? The spec from the two servers seem similar enough that I somehow think it might work. Has anyone ever done something so drastic?
Hi, i am having problems when i want to install a second SATA HD on my PowerEdge. I have a 120 GB SSD installed on SATA 0 (blue conector) and when i install a second HD on SATA 1 port ( 320 GB HD) the Server never detect it.
If i conect the HD on SATA 0 the server detects it, but never detect boths, only one conected on SATA Port 0 (blue port)
Any advice?

I'm testing all of the various remote management features of a new T320. I'm currently trying to do a remote install (using Virtual Console) of Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials. Here's the scenario...
I created a SBS2011 bootable USB flash drive from the Dell supplied Windows install disk (using Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool). That UFD is curently connected to the server. Using Virtual Console I was able to boot off of that UFD and do a standard OS install.
Now I want to do an OS install using the Lifecycle Controller OS Deploy feature. I booted into the USC and started the OS Deploy process. At step 4 of 5 it asks to "Insert OS Media". I was hoping that it would recognize the UFD but it does not. Next I thought I would try to use the Remote File Share feature of the DRAC to mount an ISO image of the Windows install disk. I don't have the physical disk handy at the moment so I created an image from the UFD that's connected to the server. I then copied the ISO to a network share and mounted it using Remote File Share. I rebooted and started the USC OS Deply process again hoping that it would recognize the OS media. Still no luck. When I get to the Insert OS Media step and click Next, a message box is displayed stating "Media not found. Please insert a media and retry."
Without physically inserting the OS disk in the server DVD drive, how else could I get it to recognize an OS media disk? Is my ISO image perhaps the problem? In other words since I created it from the UFD and not directly from the original DVD could that be causing a problem? Assuming there's nothing wrong with the ISO would the USC normally recognize an ISO mounted via Remote File Share as a valid OS install disk and proceed beyond step 4?

I have a server showing that it needs a driver update for an Intel NIC. When I manually run the update on the server, it says no devices present that need that update. How do I remove this item and show the system as compliant?
I put intel p3500 ssd to my t430 system and fan speed rised up to 85%. Idrac lifecycle controler log shows that system detects ssd as normal, but still ramps up fan speed to 85%. So maybe there is some kind of system bug? Turning off third party PCie card fan respnse did no help
