Problems with Dell r.620 updated

Today, I tried to make 3 x updates 3 Dell r.620 as follows:

  • BIOS 2.4.3 to 2.5.2
  • 16.0.24 to 16.5.20 Intel NETWORK card firmware
  • iDRAC Firmware Version to 2.10.10 (iDRAC settings rest 1.65.65.04 Version)

All 3 of r.620 had identical firmware for starters.

I applied updates for 3 r.620 systems at the same time through iDRAC Express Web GUI update mechanism.

On the first 2 systems, the updates worked fine.

On the last system, I'm in trouble.  When I came back to this system, he has been "priming" and say "entering the lifecycle controller...". "but after half an hour, it does not!  I noticed that whenever I would it boot, he'd do the same thing... "Entering Lifecycle Controller"... then when it is arrived until the moment where Intel Boot Agent initialize, there are two points, then a blank line... then the machine would just stand there.

Through racadm, I managed to reset the State of the life cycle of the inverter and remove the queue of work hoping I could reflash just updates and everything would be fine.  Now, the system does exactly the same thing, except that it does not seek to enter the controller of life cycle more.  Now, when he's sitting there, he is not "completely" hooked - in other words, if I hit F2 it will say that it is entering the system setup, press F10 he'll say he'll perform a PXE boot... etc... in fact, you can hit all the F keys and he'll say he'll enter system configuration , PXE boot, enter BIOS Boot Menu, etc...

I am suspicious it is necessary with a failed NETWORK upgrade card... Here's what I see in the racadm for BIOS swinventory:

If the versions downloaded, but the current version is not the new version.

I checked in other systems, and it is.

Now, I tried to go back in idrac7 web GUI and rollback, but it says that it cannot do.
At the same time, the BIOS boot screen shows the BIOS as being 2.5.2!

I had a conversation with Dell.  The conclusion was that the motherboard and possibly the network card girl needs to be replaced... somebody's going to come out on Friday to do...  That being said, I'm 99% sure that there is a way to solve this problem by replacing the entire Board.  I 99% sure because I think to solve the problem requires the system to enter the lifecycle controller, which does not now... and no matter what job I can queue through the UI web or racadm won't do much if it cannot access the lifecycle controller.

I can still access the idrac via web and ssh.  I tried to work on the jobqueue change LegacyBootProto None of PXE, thinking that this MIGHT get rid of the "Intel Boot Manager" prompt, but when the system boots, it does not it:

racadm view jobqueue
-------------------------JOB QUEUE------------------------
[Job ID = JID_285566585779]
Job Name = configure: NIC. Integrated.1 - 1-1
Status = on demand
Start time = [now]
Timeout = [not Applicable]
Message = [JCP001: task successfully on demand.]
----------------------------------------------------------

I don't even know whether or not the problem is, really, the Boot Manager.

I thought about another possibility... If it's Boot Manager... If I disable the NIC daughter through racadm card, then I would immediately lose access to idrac and not be able to return to the previous state, but if the deactivation of the card would let me go further so that I could get back in the lifecycle controller and fix things then maybe it's worth? Don't know.

Any thoughts?

Jason.

Yes. I tried this option.  It's the same thing.  (hang after Intel Boot Agent).

The motherboard of the server has been replaced, and I am currently re - install the updates... Already updated the BIOS which is come with this (2.2.2) server could not update 2.5.2.  I'm now trying an update of the idrac.  All these problems with the updates are frustrated to no end.

    You can try to disable the GPU performance by clicking on the icon of the rocket in the bar of the App, or on the top of the menu bar, deselect the box Performance GPU; You may also uncheck performance GPU in your preferences.

    I think that the issue should be fixed with the 19.0.1 patch.

  • Problems with Dell USB - C (DA200) to the HDMI, VGA, RJ45, USB3 adapter

    Hi all

    I guess I'm a little desperate at 01:45 haha...

    I just got my XPS 13 9350 and it's great. I bought the USB - C DA200 adpater USB3, RJ45, VGA, HDMI. Unfortunately, I have some difficulty with the device. They are listed below:

    (1) plug, computer does not recognize the device. If I right click and uninstall in Device Manager and do a scan 'new material', it works again - but not for long.

    (2) the device and the Realtek gigabit portion to connect and reconnect every second in Device Manager and it's annoying.

    (3) disabling the wireless card/connection really seems to help the unit to connect and it works 100%. ONLY when the wireless adapter is disconnected.

    Basically, windows is to have a real time hard keep this adapter plugged... almost as if he can't recognize it. I tried to install the drivers for the card - nothing. I've updated all the firmware from Dell crush (including the chipset) and the BIOS... nothing. Same thing. If you do a search on google, there are a few discussions on this problem. There is a nice size on Reddit.

    Someone has an idea, what happens? It's a real shame that a beautifully designed and expensive adapter does not work with a Dell computer.

    Thank you, AJ

    In another thread ("XPS 13 9350 - SSD USB C 3.1 - very unstable/not usable '-I can not add links), the following fixed my XPS 13 9550 problem using a drive HARD USB 3.0 with the Dell USB - C for HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB3.1 adapter:

    ... the adapter USB - C and WiFi are kind of material and power wise. If you go to the options of the advance of the WiFi adapter and change the WiFi output at 75%, this solves a lot of problems with the connection / disconnection of USB - C questions. Exit at 75% reduction does not affect your connection on wireless networks.

    My HARD drive kept connect/disconnect when you use the adapter, but this correction took care of her.

  • Problem with DELL Inspiron 3521 audio!

    Hello

    I bought this laptop DELL Inspiron 3521 sometimes back and I am facing a problem with the audio. I had the experience that I use only. Audio keeps switching from left to right and sometimes works only on one side. Initially, I thought that it was a problem with my headphones but I tried with several headphones and still I have experienced the same problem. But the speakers of the laptop works very well. Could this be a problem with the audio port? Can someone help me on this.

    Thank you

    Could this be a problem with the audio port?

    Hello, Daniel. How to determine who must pass the native Windows audio driver Realtek audio driver. If you don't have the driver from Realtek, you can get it from the Inspiron 3521 support page.

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the box of Windows search).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If the headphone does not work correctly when you use the Realtek or driver audio native then it's a hardware problem.

    If it works fine with the native driver but not the Realtek driver, then the Realtek driver is buggy. In this case let me know which operating system your laptop and I'll see if there is a Realtek driver different, that you can use.

  • Satellite Pro C850 - problems with WiFi after Windows update 8.1

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could give some advice on a problem I have.

    Had an adjustable C850 Pro for a few months and worked well on Windows 8.
    I myself am then harassed and intimidated by Microsoft Update in order to install Windows 8.1 and in a moment of weakness, I succumbed (got sick of the nagging).

    Since that time, my wifi is very intermittent; either I'm on another computer write this and the laptop is essentially not connected to the internet.

    For some reason any (although I didn't try it before), I can not connect via ethernet either, so I think it's probably the driver problems. (I also tried to connect the public wifi but fails).

    I tried to install the driver WiFi Toshiba 8.1 but that has not solved the problem.
    Then I noticed that I'm supposed to install a bunch of drivers in the order.

    Maximum setting to do it, but the first package (associated with bluetooth) said I have to remove the current driver... I try by "turning off", then "Uninstall" but 8.1 seems to re - install automatically and I don't know how to disable this option (I can try to delete the driver file, I guess, but I'm sure 8.1 covered too and will probably launch a drone to try me out ", if I do). *

    Any kind soul there suggestions on a way forward? Pls.

    I see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now. :(

    Hello

    > I don't see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now
    All your problems with the Windows 8.1 update related to the fact that you have not upgraded the Windows 8.1 system as recommended by Toshiba.

    Then, install all updates and patches for Windows 8 and follow along with the upgrade of system as described on the Toshiba Windows 8.1 upgrade page

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver, you will find all the instruments that must be installed in the correct order and Windows 8.1 driver!

  • Serious problems with the 6.16 update: reboot page & chat

    First of all, I want to mention before, if there is no problem with Skype, it would make my computer all freeze where I by force to restart my system. If she didn't answer I could not force the program to close and would be forced to stop and start again.

    An hour or two there is something like it happened and so I restart my computer. Restart Skype updated during this time. When he came I went to my main group chat and it froze my computer, forcing me to do a hard cock down. For the next couple hours, it's the same thing. Even when I tried to disable my internet so I couldn't even open Skype. It is only now, 4 hours later that I am able to access Skype and the rest of the features on my computer, something I wasn't able to do.

    With this update, the display for the bubbles of text is not something I like. Timestamps are gone even if I still have the box checked to have these timestamps. I can't scroll to see previous messages and certain user setting have been forgotten or reset. I'm not happy about all of this change suddenly that I'm already rather on the fence with how much I love Skype.

    I'd like a way to return to the old interfaces without suffering a decline in quality with calls and video.

    The cat new UI is provided with the 6.16.64.105 version only. You can uninstall this 'special' version and install the 6.16.0.105 version with the old chat UI window.

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the Thinkpad X 230. After a recent update of Windows 7 (64-bit), the screen resolution is set to 800 x 600 and brightness to the minimum. FN + F8/F9 does not work. The brightness is uncontrolled. I had to restore the system before the update.

    Hi Isosik,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with the display resolution on your ThinkPad X 230.

    If you have updated the drivers from Windows update, sometimes this kind of problem occurs with windows generic drivers for cause of driver incompatibility, suggest always update drivers only via the ThinkVantage System Update utility. Update only the application of Microsoft Windows Update.

    You can also manually download the drivers from the Lenovo support site.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi halecky6,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!

    (a) update you are trying to install? (It would be better, if you can provide the number of KB)

    (b) are the other updates related to Windows from installing on your computer?

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1: Disable the software security and then try to install the update

    Note: Activate security software once the test is completed.

    Step 2: Download and install the update in the clean boot state

    To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    After starting the computer, download the update manually and try to install it.

  • PROBLEM WITH THE INSTALLATION OF UPDATES

    When the computer tells me to reboot to complete the installation of updates, I do.  It stops normally, but when he tries to restart, the screen goes completely dark.  I have to press the market / stop button for 4 seconds & it stops.  I wait a few minutes start computer & it starts normally & then it finish installing updates.  My question is what could cause the problem?  I learned recently by Microsoft (office of answers) that there is a big possibility that I corrupted the registry files.
