Any of the ProLiant servers listed in the "Products" section and that are configured with either of the following processor models: - E5-2600 v4 Series Intel Processor - E5-4600 v4 Series Intel Processor - E7-4800 v4 Series Intel Processor
Important: Although error messages may be present indicating a Smart Array controller error, the Smart Array controller is not defective. A previous version of this advisory indicated System ROM 2.64 or later has a microcode patch to address this problem. HPE is modifying our guidance to update affected servers to System ROM version 2.74, which includes the Intel microcode to address this issue and should be applied to any servers experiencing this failure. Intel has documented this issue as errata BDF103 in the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 Processor Product Family Specification Update Revision 20.0. The System ROM can be downloaded from the HPE Support Center at https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/home In the search field, enter the name of the server platform. In the dropdown list of search results, select "Drivers and Software" for the item in the dropdown list that matches the search term. On the Drivers and Software page, use the filter options on the left to more quickly find the desired System ROM component. Entitlement is required to download System ROM updates. Should this problem recur even after system ROM version 2.64 and later is applied, follow the steps below. 1. Update System ROM to version 2.74 if this has not already been done. 2. Reboot the server. 3. During POST, press F9 to boot into the System Utilities menu. 4. In the System Utilities menu, navigate to "System Configuration --> BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) --> Advanced Options --> Uncore Frequency Limiting". 5. Select "Enabled" and press "Enter". 6. Press F10 to save the change, then press "Y" when prompted to accept the change. 7.Press the "ESC" key repeatedly to navigate back to the top menu level. There are two options: Exit and Resume System Boot, or "reboot the system." Select "Reboot the System" and exit System Utilities, then press "Enter" when prompted to exit and reboot the server. 8. Allow the server to reboot and boot the OS. If further assistance is needed, contact HPE Customer Support and refer to this number: CFI 21295 .
