Start-up D20 4158 JQ8

I am a newbie with these machines. The machine was just a box, no drive, no software.

I want to install Win7Pro. I added 2 1 TB drives, start the installation process. We come to a point where the system of request for additional drivers (in MS, they don't say what it takes!).

Sorry for the short post, but I have no idea what drivers to use or what crtical points to verify to the extent where the ports used for the readers.

Advice would be appreciated!

Calder

And it worked. Thanks for the pointer!

  • IBM ServeRAID M1015 in a Lenovo D20 4158

    Is that what someone did never successfully install an IBM ServeRAID M1015 in a D20?

    The reason why I ask is that I just tried and failed. I attached the SATA drives with SFF 8087 cable and installed the adapter in a x 16 slot. When starting, I can access the WebBIOS adapter and accesses the card from Windows 7 by using the management software. So far so good.

    The problem is that the card itself does not recognize a single disc (I tried several different types/brands). Suspecting the interruption / resource issues I have disabled the Intel and Marvell card in the BIOS, updated the firmware M1015 etc... no luck.

    -What did somebody ever successfully install a M1015 in a D20? If so, what is the trick?

    Regarding the cutting of Marvell - we have three D20s in use. On each of them this adapter corrupt always any RAID sooner or later (Linux and Windows). Even after a replacement of the motherboard. As much as I love D20, the embedded RAID adapter is really a loss.

    Thanks in advance for all tips!

    I finally solved the mystery. The problem was the cable. I had three brand new cables. It seems that each of them was defective. Waiting for me who? Right now I'm running a RAID5 that shows no problems so far and works well. It corresponds to current needs. Regarding the adapter Marvell, the problem wasn't that I let go of a volume. The problem was that the data has been corrupted for no apparent reason (State SMART drives all was okay etc.). Thus, so-called if a drive fails I think the adapter to degrade a volume to not corrupt. I had the same effects with three types of different discs from different manufacturers on this map. I disabled this card now that I had a fully functional replacement (and reliable so far) with the M1015. Just make sure that your cables are ok ;-}

  • D20-4155 does not start

    Will not do anything when turned on

    The symptoms are

    No beeps

    No video

    two small lights above (inside the box) power switch

    and above the 1394 port 1394

    Flash on 1s

    and outside for 5 seconds

    I guess it could be a bad port 1394

    Since I do not use, is there a way I can disable?

    Thank you

    * Edited on behalf of the correct platform in the thread title

    My memory fades a bit on this one, but I think we would normally install radiators memory on D20 whenever there is 4 GB or RDIMMs magnification in use.  Keep in mind at the time D20 launched, 4 GB RDIMMs are among the available DIMM big, and many had heatspreaders installed on them because of the power they use.  As technology DIMM moved forward, I think that the dissipated power is down.

    That being said, it probably wouldn't hurt to have if you are concerned about the time of the memory.

  • Windows Setup does not load driver Marvell D20

    Hello

    Installation: D20, the Marvell controller are attached: 2xHDDs RAID1 and an Intel SSD in a RAID configuration.

    The machine was initially installed with Windows 8.1 (on RAID1 disks), most later improved to W10.

    After a recent, (unknown to me), Windows problem entered a loop 'ASR Preparation. "

    I tried to use USB to recovery, but he did not see the drives.

    At this stage, downloaded driver from Marvell of the lenovo Web site. Note that there is only the version W7/W8.

    Tried to load the driver in Windows (for Windows 10) recovery, the load was successful, but start DISKPART after that froze the recovery. (Also tried to integrate the driver using NTLite, which resulted in recovery of freezing at startup).

    Has given up trying to recover and created 10 Windows USB installation. When I'm at the stage of selection of drive installation and selected the pilot of the "Load driver" dialog, the installation get stuck and animation of course load just went on and on. Subsequently tried to create Windows 8.1 and same media to install Windows 7. Also, who is stuck on the step "load driver".

    During the tests, I tried using different USB (version 3.0 and 2.0) drives. Also downloaded the driver for the Marvell from another Web site, just in case. Tried resetting the BIOS with the default settings. Nothing helps.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply, I thought I posted what the problem was, but apparently I forgot.

    The problem turned out to be the SSD. BIOS and Windows recognized, but as soon as I/o operations were made, the player brought to stall. Even the first test SMART said the player was healthy, but the after run the test again, he has not done, and the drive is completely dead. Remove the SSD brought the machine back to life.

    Thanks again.

  • D20 + SATA ONLY + WINXP SP3 32 BIT

    Hi all

    Testing a D20 for the company and can not get the D20 to run as a SATA drive only. Currently, its spinning the Marvell controller with a 500 GB drive in.

    Have tried to get into the BIOS and disable the RAID controller but then I can't use the HD as just a SATA drive.

    The only joy I had is to plug in a diskette with 32-bit controller Marvell drivers starting with Windows XP 32-bit, as he travels through install press F6 to install the drivers for the controller, and then once I hit continues to back installation/format disks, I get a blue screen of death. The strange thing is that if I use our WinXP SP3 32 bit copy of Microsoft license which it MUST be installed with I get the BSOD, but if I through in a Dell WinXP SP3 32 bit OS disk I can install the operating system without problem at all!

    All I want to do is really disable the single use of SATA drive only (somehow) RAID controller and install WinXP SP3 32-bit using our copy of Microsoft Licensing with this blue screening!

    Any help would be fantastic!

    See you soon,.

  • D20 from Lenovo and Revodrive3 PCI

    Hello

    I installed an OCZ Revodrive3 on my D20

    At the time of startup, I get an error message "Expansion ROM not initialized".

    Then the machine starts, but the primary disk SATA, not the Revodrive.

    If I go into the BIOS to disable the verification of ROM SATA, then the error message disappears, the machine starts on the Revodrive, but then all the RAS for visible and not usable in Windows 7 SATA drives.

    If anyone has a solution, I would be very happy to know.

    I have tried almost every possible configuration in BIOS with always the same result.

    I thank very you much in advance!

    Olivier

    Thank you very much for your advice!

    I've connected all my HARD drive on SATA black and completely disabled the Marvell controller connectors.

    And now I see my two PCI RevoDrive3 and SATA disks.

  • Try to set / change the password BIOS admin via the script WMI on ThinkStation D20

    Hello Lenovo Community!

    Start using the WMI Lenovo_SetBiosSetting class on a D20 system.

    If I understand the documentation that there is a limitation on the BIOS password in the past, but I updated to the latest BIOS Rev who support States was added for this feature.

    I use a script that changes the supervisor on computers password successfully thinkpad, but when even to run the script from command line on the D20 system it returns "SUCCESS" however to change the password did not effect!

    I'm using the right parameters are the standard of lenovo

    ' pap, oldpass newpass, ascii, we.

    I thought maybe "pap" is not the correct setting for password Admin on the D20, however the WMI available, posted 2010 guide, does not show otherwise.

    Someone at - it an example script that they can display successfully change the password on a D20 system?

    Please and thx!

    Did you run the SaveSetting script after changing the password?

    You can get the SaveSetting script from the sample scripts D20 located at the following link:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=UM002033

    You can use the script SetAdminPassword from the library of scripts of series E, then a follow-up that with something like what follows before restarting:

    "cscript SaveSetting.vbs" originalpwd, ascii, we.

    Replace 'originalpwd' with all what your existing password was at the time wherever you booted the system.

  • D20 - without with Xeon processor Hyperthreading?

    Hallo,

    Since a few days I very happily use my new thinkstation D20 with a CPU Xeon 5506. However, when I start the Task Manager in Vista or Server 2008 I see always 4 processors. But I expect to see 8 processors using this processor Hyperthreading.

    Question: is there an option in the BIOS to enable Hyperthreading? I've always found it. Or does this processor not support Hyperthreading at all?

    Greetings,

    :-) Hannes

    Welcome to the forum!

    the xeon E5506 does not support hyperthreading.

  • D20 problem of configuration of Windows Server 2008 R2 / 1 x SATA HD / 4 x SATA SSD

    Hi all

    I have a Mod D20. 4155 and want to use next to it is by default SATA HDD SATA SSD four disks of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of its Hyper-V features.

    I have Aproblem with detection of drives in the configuration of the operating system. All 5 disks are visible in the Marvell controller BIOS setup. It is possible to configure a RAID on the SSD, etc, but I don't "see" any disk in the configuration of the operating system. I tried to load additional drivers in the part of the Setup utility GUI, but it did not work. I tried with the driver Marcell SAS and Intel Matrix driver, both located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.

    Suggestions for the BIOS of the PC / BIOS Marvell / OS installation configurations?

    Best regards, Chrischmi

    Hi all

    I found the solution myself. After detection, the default drive is a SATA drive (and), I got the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the spirit of the machine the disks attached to the Intel controller. After installation, I went to Device Manager and installed the driver of Lenovo Marvell, rekindled the Marvell controller disk and started the. Successfully. Yes!

    On my way to the solution, I had another problem: in the setup of Windows GUI part, I got an error of 0 x 80300001 with Lenovo's Intel SATA driver. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA drive with reason0x80300001. very helpful post, Microsoft! (-) I decided to use the default Microsoft for the Intel SATA controller driver after a reboot. Installer executed well, but ended with an error 0 x 80070017 and problems of copy of (unknown) files. The solution (found after a few hours...) was to burn a new installation of Windows Server DVD. I don't want to talk about it anymore...

  • Lenovo D20 GTX 1080 SC plus Random closures - also, what are these thermal sensors?

    I have a Lenovo D20 workstation, I upgraded my GTX660 to a GTX1080 and started having some weird random offs of the power system.

    I bought the card on October 21 to run Civ 6 better, fine installed map and ran for three days without any problem.

    The third day, the system itself off the power run game. No BSOD, no warning of any kind, just don't click off.

    Done a lot of troubleshooting and seemed to track down for a thermal problem, because once I did a full clean and system fans and back together, everything worked...

    Flash forward another 2 weeks, mid-game Civ 6, stop at random one another down. System still clean as a whistle...

    It's now a battle since to maintain the system for more than a few days sometimes for a few minutes as it will at the same time more and more.  Last hour of Gears of War 4, exactly the same task.  Thinking it is thermal, I upgraded to something bigger heatsinks (fans work normally same towers / etc), system is now 20 degrees cooler and I still get the random low stop...

    Thought that's current partner, if I traded in my PSU I have for my box of spare prod... No effect.

    Thought the card was dead, so I traded in my old GTX660, the system worked flawlessly...  Swapped the D20 1080 another that I have here, and it worked perfectly fine solid launch an automated Civ game 3 days...  Swapped the 1080 in my D20, worked for another 3-4 hours, then click power off.

    I continue to roaming to heat I have some temporary sensors which seem to put the wrong mistakes, I have one that always is at about 128C called "Remote1" 2 other D20, I have here do not have this sensor, I literally stripped everything out of the box and the sensor "remote1" remains.  Where is it?  (see attached photo)

    HW_Monitor shows my CPU nice and cool... SpeedFan shows a CPU @ 31 c and the other at 101 c, the two seem well in HW monitor. Am I an overheating? OR am I not?

    Here is my complete listing of the system:

    D20

    2 x X 5675-3, 06 Ghz

    48 GB DDR3 RAM

    GTX1080 HC 8GB

    LSI/3ware 9650SE RAID card w/5x3TB

    Kingston 240 GB SSD (boot drive)

    I did the following diagnosis:

    Added new radiators - thermal. (Works great with GTX660, not with the 1080).

    Re-sitting all the RAM, I even changed a lot.  Memtest passes.

    I removed the RAID card and associated hard disks. (I thought that's where they get "Remote1".)  It isn't.).

    I tried the two 16 x slots in the system.

    I ran a full stress test using the handbrake and P95 to try to make the system draw as much power as possible to stress the CPU/PSU/MEM, wanted to test the GPU at the same time so I ran a civ 5 automated and civ 6 interactive game. It ran for several hours and clicked itself turned off AFTER I had finished the stress on the CPU... (I killed the brake hand and P95 and just got Civ execution).

    I swapped the power supply with a known good unit.

    I placed the 1080 in a solid known D20 chassis, no problem.

    I checked the mobo for swelling / leaks / breath caps. No there that I can see.

    I ran the sound system high mode and fan speed used same used maximally all fans, always off System... All time seemed cool except "Remote 1". Read local 66 c.

    I changed the bars that I use.

    I changed the wall outlets that I use.

    I entirely cleaned the system and all associated fans.

    I tried ALL video pilots...  I have done so of restorations and clean installs Windows bored me.

    Windows provides no newspaper except to say "power has been removed from the system or the system became unresponsive.

    BIOS is like a power failure and will reboot the system (once I put it to turn on automatically).

    I'm at the point where I'm going to empty the entire chassis and start over again because its so intermittent and so random that I can't pinpoint the problem.  When you look at Speedfan, the a 'CPU' that says its 101 c, when he goes to 110 c, that seems widely when the system will be eager to stop, he stopped at a few times and 115C, but HW_Monitor still reads the CPU is also nice and cool, with cores running between 35-40 degrees Celsius, not anywhere near 100 101 c...

    I spent several hours on it and still can't seem to find answers that are concrete...

    Someone at - it ideas?  Someone has ideas on what/where all these thermal probes are?

    Can someone give me any ideas would be great...

    Hello

    First of all, thank you guys for getting back to me so fast, I know that you guys must be flooded and I really appreciate your support on my aging material.  You are a credit to your teams.

    So I'm in the mode full tinker now, and as I am not under warranty, it is not as if I had nothing to lose = D.

    I think I have tracked down the problem - but I said at least 6 times in the last few weeks.

    The EVGA GTX SC 1080 has a metal radiator that runs the length of the card, these fins are exposed along the law and the length as a vent along all sides of the map, the side exposed to the door frame and the side which is exposed to the motherboard. There are also a few air holes in the top (bottom?) of the map. When the GTX 1080 is seated in the slot 16 first x, all the heat from the back of the card is discharged directly on the North Bridge heat sink.  This seems to be what it heats up a lot, and why the 660 fact ever, the events don't go anywhere near him.   In fact, I removed my GPU right after a stop down and the NB heatsink was hot touch was a 3 degree burn.

    so I tied a 40mm fan on the heatsink to the Northbridge PCI, he turns to 4000-5000 + rpm and managed to cool the heatsink about 30 degrees, it starts as 65 degrees rather than 95 and revolves around 82-85 under a load of game...

    I'll keep you posted on the tests.

  • Cannot restart MacBook after starting Mac OS Sierra

    I have problems with the installation of Mac OS Sierra. It jammed last night at about 90%. I stop. This morning, I tried to start it without success. I then started with the command and R and choose to reinstall the software. This seemed to work, took forever, but when he resumed at the end of this process the small white obtained progress bar all the way to the end while it froze. I just talked to apple and told to try again, which I am. It took about 3 hours this morning. I checked my HD there are 117 GB of space. Another person had the same problem and managed to fix it?

    Start by holding down the command + R keys again if you can access the construction in utilities to check and repair if necessary startup disk, and then try to install the Sierra.

  • iMac does not start after the update of the Sierra...

    Don't know what to do. Sierra, just updated and now my system hangs during startup and turns off.

    Anyone else seen this? No idea what I can do?

    Try a safe boot. Otherwise, you might to reinstall macOS.

    ----------

    Stop your Mac. Use the power button if you wish. Now start with the SHIFT key is pressed. This will start in Safe Mode, with all extensions turned off. Safe mode is slow to start, so give it time, it checks a lot of tasks. If it works fine in Safe Mode, restart normally. If it works now, you are finished.

    If the problem comes back after a reboot, you may have an extension conflict. Disable all extensions via system preferences. To isolate which extension is at fault, turn on an extension at the same time, restart in the meantime, until you find bad.

  • Problem starting el capitan (sierra) - built-in keyboard and the mouse do not respond

    Hello

    I have a 2015 macbook pro (SSD 256, 16 GB of RAM last el capitan updated) with a wired problem.

    I use it mainly to a cinema monitor and I use wireless keyboard and mouse (office installation program), and of course as a stand-alone laptop when I'm not at my desk.

    When I put the laptop to sleep, everything works fine when I wake up.

    but, if I'm away from the office and I have to restart my laptop, here is the problem.

    The boot process is very very slow, there is no edge, and when I finally have the screen to unlock the safe, the keyboard and the touchpad do not react. Actually, that's not exactly true, they are so slow that they are unusable and get caught quickly, all gel. So I can't unlock and complete the boot. My laptop is unusable ;-(

    At this point, I get a message that if I forgot my password I just need to reboot by pressing the power button, and I'll be able to reset it.

    When I do this and aprΦs the dΘmarrage that more slowly than usual but ok, I get another screen with several options of problem solving. One of them is "keyboard not responding do not. When choosing this one, it asks if you want to remove safe. I tried and everything was back to normal.

    later, I delivered safe and I had the same problem again. I did the thing to be able to restart again and improved to sierra in the hope that it would disappear. However, the problem is still there.

    I thought I could try to restart my office to see if my keyboard and wireless mouse would still work. Indeed, even if responsiveness was not normal, I could unlock and fill the chest.

    I have the impression that my laptop always "believe" it is on my desk, linked to my screen (probably the reason why I don't hear the Bell) and to my wireless K & M.

    It's really annoying and I hope someone has a solution.

    Thank you very much

    best,

    Alex

    I'm having a similar problem with macOS Sierra which I didn't have with El Capitan.  I can possibly move the cursor on the power button and turn off (no), but I must be patient because the keyboard and trackpad are only for a fraction of a second, which only allows me to move the mouse slightly.  After he stop and start back up, everything is perfect until I tried another reboot, and then I'm back to the beginning.

    I tried to reinstall the operating system, reset the SMC, resetting the NVRAM, reboot in SafeMode... nothing worked so far.

    Hello

    There is an app Messages having an iMessages account.

    In fact, it may have a Hello 'Account' AIM, Jabber and Yahoo, not to mention the many you can have.

    One of them could be the cause rather than the iMessages one.

    These: -.

    See if the data of one kind or another in the past between the app and other places he works with.

    In some cases, the 'reason' may include a reference to something being 'null '.

    In these cases, this may mean that the Contacts App has no listed correct My map, in some cases, this means that Mac user account name and my card Contacts do not seem to match.

    Can you be specific about which .plists you deleted.

    Some with ichat in the name refers to the functions most basic application which have been there since the app was called iChat.

    For example, it might be the sort of friend order if you have AIM, Yahoo or Jabber accounts.

    This Yahoo have released a new version of their Messenger which seems incompatible with what they had before.

    It seems to stop the Messages application entering this account.

    I don't think that is the question here because I don't have this problem myself.

    Can you remember if you changed anything in the Messages recently?

    Present themselves as one or more individual items contact lists?
