I'm trying to update several PC Net 325 servers, some with ServeRAID II cards. These include 8639-RB0, and 8639-1RY models.
I've found a manual suppliment on the boxes, but not the main manual.
A) I'm seeking the BIOS upgrades and other files.I've waded through the IBM pages, but what I seem to find is lots of 404 links, many to the PCBBS area. Any pointers to the files I need?
B) One machine whines about a missing BIOS update file, when I'm just trying to boot it into the BIOS. Why just that one?
C) When I install the RAID board in another one; I get sent to the BIOS setup page every boot, with 5 stacked 0's as the error:
0
0
0
0
0
instead of "date out of range" etc. Huh?
D) Will this hardware run with Xeon-class CPU's, with 1MB vs 513K cache?
E) I know the -1RY and others are limited to 512MB, but the 2RY is not. Any idea what's different on them?
Any pointers welcomed.
