PowerEdge R840 BIOS - Azure Stack Hub
| Release version | BIOS version | Changes |
|---|---|---|
| 2102 | 2.9.4 | - Updated the "Processor and Memory Reference Code" for the second-generation Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family to IPU 2020.2. - Removed the Logical Processor requirement for Monitor/MWait. |
| 2008 | 2.8.2 | Initial solution version |
| 2108 | 2.10.2 | Fixes: - Fixed an Intel errata reported on IPU 2020.1 and 2020.2 where the system could potentially not respond or reboot during POST when "Configuring Memory..." is displayed on the screen. This scenario may be encountered during system boot, where self-heal is attempted. The root cause is a race condition where during the self-heal process, a refresh cycle may not have completed when the CPU issues self-heal related commands to the DRAM. The Issue is described in Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family Specification Update, SKX120 and second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Specification Update, CLX51. - Fixed an issue where an invalid location was specified for a self-heal request. This results in self-heal not being performed, which could potentially not respond or reboot the system during POST when "Configuring Memory..." is displayed on the screen. Note: The Dell PowerEdge BIOS will automatically schedule DIMM self-healing during POST, based on DIMM health monitoring of correctable and uncorrectable errors from previous system boots. - Updated Intel processor microcode to address the following issues: * High Levels of Posted Interrupt Traffic on The PCIe Port May Result in a Machine Check with a TOR Timeout. The Issue is described in the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family Specification Update, SKX123 and Second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Specification Update, CLX52. * Some Short Loops of Instructions May Cause a 3-Strike Machine Check without a TOR Timeout. The Issue is described in the Second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Specification Update, CLX53. Enhancements: - Updated the Processor Microcode to version 0x3005 for the second-generation Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family. - Updated the Processor Microcode to version 0x6A09 for the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family. |
