Information Update 3

This document provides updated information for your system on the following topics:

• Enabling video hardware acceleration in the Microsoft

Windows

Server 2003 operating

system

• Correcting flat-panel display video problems during Microsoft Windows Server 2003

operating system installations

• PCI-e hot-plug support

• Failure to load usb-ohci driver message on systems running Red Hat

Enterprise Linux

(version 2.1)

• NIC teaming limitations

• Changing the LCD display of the system ID and name

• LCD status messages update

• Installing the cable-management arm

Enabling Video Hardware Acceleration in the Microsoft

Windows Server 2003 Operating System

By default, video hardware acceleration is set to its lowest setting (

None

) by the Microsoft

Windows Server 2003 operating system. Your system’s video controller supports enhanced features

and requires that the video hardware acceleration be set to its highest (

Full

) setting. Operating

the system without adjusting the video hardware acceleration to its highest setting may cause the

system to become unstable under certain conditions. To adjust the video hardware acceleration:

Click

Start

, point to

Control Panel

, and then click

Display

You can also right-click the desktop, and then click

Properties

Click the

Settings

tab in the

Display Properties

window, and then click

Advanced

Click the

Troubleshoot

tab, and move the hardware acceleration slider from

None

Full

Click

, and then click

If you reinstall or update the video drivers, or if you reinstall Windows Server 2003, you must reset

the video hardware acceleration to its

Full

setting again.

Correcting Flat-Panel Display Video Problems During

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Operating System

Installations

NOTE: The following information applies only to Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system

installations on systems that have certain flat-panel displays attached. Systems that have a CRT monitor

attached, or systems that have any other operating system installed, are not affected.

Under certain conditions, the image on some flat-panel displays may roll during the installation of

the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. This is caused by console redirection being

enabled in the System Setup program (console redirection is disabled by default).

Console redirection is intended for system management from a terminal attached to the system’s

serial port. When Windows Server 2003 detects that console redirection is enabled, it optimizes its

installation screens to a low-resolution text mode for a vt100-compatible terminal. Some flat-panel

displays cannot synchronize to that mode.

To correct the problem, restart the system, enter the System Setup program, and disable console

redirection. After installing the Windows Server 2003 operating system, enter the System Setup

program, and enable console redirection, if desired.

PCI-e Hot-Plug Support

When available, the following PCI Express (PCI-e) Fibre Channel (FC) host-bus adapter (HBA)

cards will support hot plug operation:

• The Emulex PCI-e FC HBA will support hot-replace (replacing an existing card with an

identical card) and hot-remove operations under the Windows Server 2003 and

Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server operating systems, or the Novell

NetWare

6.5

operating system (when available). Hot-add will not be supported.

• The QLogic PCI-e FC HBA will support hot-replace and hot-remove operation under the

Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server operating systems,

or the Novell NetWare 6.5 operating system (when available). Hot-add will not be supported.

Dell™ PowerEdge™ Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) cards and the Broadcom 5721 PCI-e

NIC do not support hot-plug PCI-e operation.

Information Update 5

Failure to Load usb-ohci Driver Message on Systems Running

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Version 2.1)

A failure message may be displayed when

Initializing USB controller (usb-ohci)

appears during startup. Update versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 2.1) prior to

Update 4 mistakenly attempt to load this driver for the USB 2.0 controller. Red Hat Enterprise

Linux (version 2.1) does not support USB 2.0. To avoid this erroneous message on versions prior

to Update 4, remove the line in

/etc/modules.conf

that causes

usb-ohci

to load. Otherwise, install

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 2.1) Update 4 to resolve the problem.

NIC Teaming Limitations

If you configure the baseboard management controller (BMC) to access the system using the first

integrated NIC (NIC1), teaming functionality and BMC functionality will be affected in certain

situations, as shown in Table 1-1.
