Dell Poweredge 1750 - no boot device

Hi, I am totally new to the servers and have bought a second hand PE1750 off ebay so that I can learn how it works.

The vehicle currently has no operating system on it and the BIOS is always A06.

I downloaded A12 and try updating the bios.

(1) is it possible to update the BIOS from the BIOS?

(2) I don't have drive C: and CDROM in boot sequence via the F2 Setup utility.

(3) no found boot device.

(4) I have 1 configured logical drive

(5) there is no option to boot from USB

can anyone help me get this site up and running please?

is it possible to update the BIOS from the BIOS?

Not from the "BIOS", per se... but you can start a utility to update update the firmware of the system (including the BIOS).

1750 does not support the boot on USB. You will need to boot from the CD/DVD (or PXE or diskette) for what you intend to do.

You can use SUU (Server Update Utility):

http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=GHC9V&FILEID=2731109500&osCode=WNET&ProductCode=PowerEdge-1750&LanguageCode=en&CategoryID=SM

First start in GDPS (systems management tools and Documentation) which requires:

http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=P8V4X

Or you can use the repository Manager:

http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=X5YK8

OR you can install an operating system and update the firmware of the system of the operating system.

  • PowerEdge 1600SC "no boot device with ' error

    Hi all!
    I recently acquired a PowerEdge 1600SC server of my fathers company. We used it changed in 2004 just so that you all know. When I try to start it, it starts to beep loud and quite rude. I opened it upward, the it Department had disconnected the three disks for some reason any. I plugged in and it still didn't work. I tried to get a recovery disk, but apparently the warranty has expired on March 30, 2006. That somewhat limited my options. I could buy a new drive containing windows 7... but I thought it might spoil the server more since it already has an operating system (I think). Maybe I could get a upgrade disc? Should I take for the DSI and get it checked? Just reply to this tell me what to do because I really need this server soon.

    Thanks in advance,
    Emanuel Elliott

    "The server has sufficient memory for you because I had just bought three 36 GB drives more."

    Memory, no disk space.  If he says, he has not enough "memory" and used to run ESX, then someone removed some memory or OS Install Mode is enabled, limit the RAM/256 MB memory.

  • Impossible to get any OS to install PowerEdge 1750 Server

    I'm having some trouble with that and it makes me nuts. It's the 1st Rackmount Dell I worked on. Other then that I was working on a tower. But the part that I did not do anything with the SCSI hard drives is.

    So maybe someone here can help me. I got a Dell PowerEdge 1750, 2 Maxtor 36 GB SCSI disks in there. The server was using RAID mirror the primary drive before being erased and replaced. So now, the server must be configured with Linux and it does not matter if drivers are reflected in the RAID at all.

    So I tried to install Ubuntu server OS and he repeated to me that it cannot find the drivers for the drives. I tried a few drivers here at DELL who have been to Red Hat and it did not work.

    Then, I tried a copy of Red Hat Linux 8.0 and had the same problem that Ubuntu has given me.

    Then laughing, I tried a copy of Windows XP Home Edition who was sitting by a former Workstation. Same problem, Windows could not find the hard drives. I have download the drivers PERC 4/Di windows server 2000 and 2003 (x 84). Tried loading to see if pilots would allow me to install the OS or not. Never worked.

    Finally try, I popped a copy of Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition in and he had the same problem as XP, so I pop the drivers PERC 4/Di and selected the driver for Windows Server 2003 and it has yet to find the hard drives.

    What I am doing wrong?

    NEWS POST:

    Integrated server 1.80 Firmware revision management

    Review from the primary backplane Firmware 1.01

    PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller BIOS B109 February 18, 2003

    Broadcom NetXtreme managed by BIOS Boot Agent V7.0.3

    I don't know if this noraml or not, I think that it funny that he finds the 0 logical drives, but when you go into the configuration both appear in there.

    PERC does not support non - RAID JBOD, so if you want mirrored or not, you must configure the drives in the PERC BIOS (CTRL-M)... or put it turns off and only use the system SCSI controller.

    If you want to use as separate readers readers / person, you must configure each disk in a single drive RAID 0.

    If you want to disable RAID and used in SCSI mode only, so you need to start on the configuration of the BIOS (F2), embedded devices, and Embedded RAID SCSI value active.

    The fact that the POST said 0 logical drives found indicates that the disks are not configured - don't forget, readers must be configured in a sort of table before they can be used by the operating system.  So it must show at least a logical drive before installation can never be successful.

    Once the RAID is set up, you will need to worry about drivers.

  • Usb device ESXi 4.1.0 through material passtrough on Dell Poweredge R510

    Hello.

    I am trying to use one of the four usb ports on a Dell PowerEdge R510 inside an ESXi 4.1.0 260247 host for a XP Prof invited. I have the following PCI devices:

    http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/10539/esxi41.jpg

    With each of the devices ID 00:1 a. 0 00: 1 d: 3 comments XP correctly will not start. When I attach the 00:1d.7 device boots comments, but then there is a problem with the device driver. I tried the chipset drivers for W2003 from dell (http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=de & cs = debsdt1 & l = a & s = bsd & releaseid = R269378 & SystemID = PWE_R510 & servicetag = & os = WNET & osl = GE & deviceid = 17195 & devlib = 0 & typecnt = 0 & vercnt = 2 & catid = 1 & impid =-1 & formatcnt = 0 & libid = 27 & typeid =-1 & dateid =-1 & formatid =-1 & source =-1 & 396483 = starts) , but no luck.

    I know that there is now a direct usb support in ESXi 4.1, but my usb device is not supported through this new feature.

    In addition, I'm looking for a PCI Express RS232 serial card that works on this server equipped with passthrough for a XP guest.

    Thank you

    Michael

    Try to ignore this ridiculous list, it's a bad joke for devices on the external bus like SCSI and USB.

    I've successfully used the USB feature in 4.1 for a device not on the list (in fact, he was a device of type modem/serial port), more precisely a key entropy of Simtec.

    So anyway, try your device with the USB function before mingling with the much more fragile PCI passthrough feature.

  • VMware ESXi 4 on Dell PowerEdge 2950 CDROM missing in virtual machines

    Hi all

    I installed VMware 4.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 2950, and everything moved very well. I had the ISO image from the support site on the website of VMware and Dell. I installed both with the same problem, once installed, the CD-ROM will not be displayed in any virtual machine, I create.

    I changed the boot parameters, the order of the boot, played with the BIOS settings, and no matter what I do, when I start the virtual machine and open a console window and try to connect on the CDROM, a message displays saying that the device is disconnected.

    I have reinstalled Windows on the box, went to the site of support of Dell and applied each update BIOS patch and firmware of the box. Including the one for the TEAC CDROM, which is in my box.

    Anyone had this problem before? If so, how should I do? I really need this works quickly. Without a CDROM, I can't install software such as SQL Server and others.

    Kind regards

    Michael Lange

    I assume that you have added a CDROm for virtual machines?

    You then specify "logged in/connected to the power on" in the settings of VM page? (I know it's usually obvious.. .but I did it very mistaken once this week.. .accidentally added the CDROM to the VM wrong.)

    What OS your virtual machine is running and you have the installed VMTools?

    If issuing a VMtools install on a windows host, it works, then the Cd drive works as ESX uses the virtual CD Rom to install the tools.

  • Satellite M50D-A-10W - error "reboot and select proper boot device."

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M50D-A-10W passing me all nuts "reboot and select proper boot device."

    This has happened before and it was solved by ctr-alt-del and F12 to get into the BIOS where the date went back to some time in 2010 - after put so far and to change the boot device, everything worked fine... until the next day.

    Now I get the screen "reboot and select good boot device ', but the F12 key does not; I also tried F2... the message keep multiplying, no BIOS...

  • L70 - A problem SSD - no boot device satellite upgrade

    Hi all

    I decided to get any help here, after almost a week of fighting with the upgrade of my Satellite L70-A-118 with a SSD internal SiliconPower. Drive HARD conventional is installed, everything is perfect and computer starts every time. But when I connect SSD it is very reliable, which gives the "no boot device - please reboot ' message from time to time, or several times in a row. This kind of behavior is OS independent (I tried windows 7 and several Linux distributions) and after searching the Internet, I am convinced that it is the problem of BIOS. Initially, the version of the BIOS was 1.00, and I read that the upgrade to 1.20 should solve the problem. So I did, and nothing happens, I want to say that the DSS kept as unpredictable as before the start. Taking things methodically, then I upgraded for all available versions of BIOS (1.30 and 1.50 and 1.60) and Yes, since 1.50 the ssd boots correctly in 8 cases of 10, so it's an improvement, but still far from perfect.

    The problem with SSDrives of many manufacturers and Satellite L50 L70 is common and have been reported (see https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread...formance-issue ). Unfortunately, none of the solutions I found on the internet works for me. No matter what system I am running and what settings are enabled in the BIOS (AHCI/compatibility; Boot from the UEFI/CMS; Performance/Battery). It seems that the ssd drive sometimes is not recognized by the BIOS on power on or restart it, but I can't understand what is the reason for this: after «no device startup...» ', it is sometimes sufficient to press ctl-alt-del to warm restart it and it goes as it should, but sometimes you can press the dozen times and the same message. Cold start is usually better, but not always. And I have no problem with the start-up of this particular drive on other machines.

    Help or the direction where pick up because it would be very appreciated. No matter what expirience with the L70 upgrade with ssd also. Thank you for your attention and your time.
    Peter.

    PS. honestly, the screen "toshiba leading innovation" is the most annoying more trying to fix my problem.

    Is there a boot option secure in the BIOS? If so turn it off, you can also watch the boot sequence and make sure the SSD drive starts first. Other than that, it could be something to do with the HARD drive itself. This could be a thing of tension, either caused by the SSD to ask for more than what the motherboard can provide for her or the CMOS battery itself goes flat. It is difficult to say what exactly cause your problem because it is incompatible, but to check if your card mother try running the laptop with a low battery and see how it compares to a battery full, try it plugged and plugged not able to check the behavior of the splash screen. To check if this is the CMOS battery, you can open your machine and extract it and warm a bit with your hands before you put it back in the machine and put in operation again. This will add about 0.3 volts again in the stack that can start the system again normally. If it works, then you need to replace the CMOS battery because it is at the end of his life.
