hello everyone, I have this problem for almost 3 months and I couldn't find any solution for it on the internet so I decided to put it here. I have 2 logs in my ilo that I think my server freezing is because of that, the server is dl380 g9, and server 2019 is been installed on it.
the problem is my server freeze and I have to restart to work fine.
Embedded Flash/SD-CARD: Failed restart. Embedded Flash/SD-CARD: Restarted.
ilo version 2.73 Feb 11 2020
Hi all. i hope you can advise.
I bought a DL380 G7 server with 16 drives (10 900gb + 6 146 gb)
The seller (bargain hardware) advised before purchase "No RAID, RAID & HBA-Mode controller options available. The 'HBA-Mode' controller options will come with single drive pass-thru enabled and may not have other RAID levels immediately available."
I took that to mean they don't have required card to configure drives at post, but O/S or smart start cd (8.5..) ACU could configure it. However, thats not the case.
.The attempted install of O/S does not see the drives, so can't continue, despite loading compatible drivers from usb.
.ACU sees the P410i, but with a big yellow exclamation/warning. again no drives.
So i am thinking i need a card or other hardware. Can you advise please ? Will i just need a SAS EXPANDER? i looked on amazon (uk) for "HP 468406-B21 SAS Expander Card for HP Smart Array".
As my server has 2 cages of 8, do i need to get 2 sas expanders?
Will i need anything else ,or, will this even fix the problem??
Please let me know if i am barking up the wrong tree. if you need anything else please let me know. currently the device and hardware is all good as far as the diagnostic utility reports, apart from ACU of course.
i am a newbie (and autistic) so please forgive me if i dont understand some concepts or abbreviations immediately.
Thank you all for any advice and links to components as well as any explanations.

*EDIT* ok. so i need a raid controller card? and cables. but will a single raid controller card alone serve two 8 x drive cages (SAS A and SAS B)? I guess an SAS expander is only any good if i have a raid controller first?
Also, the current riser card only has 4x PCIe. Should i get an additional riser with 8x PCIe for the raid controller/s?
Thank you again. Rob
Do yours run at 52 % fan speed and how did you power the GPU? Thank you
Hello. i am answering because this entire HPE forum thing is full of dead weight. they look but don't respond. so i thought i'd break that.
In case of a freezing system, (i work with pc's mainly) i first check the very basics.
Hardware:
-is the hardware getting too hot? If so, is it a specific area on the board or ancillary?
-Are cables firmly and correctly located? Sometimes the wires pull away from inside their connectors, making occasional shorting.
In this case the SD card is throwing an error.
Have you removed the SD card?
is it business critical? if so you will have to stay late, take the card out and try and see if it continues and come back in early and replace it before start of business day. Either way.. make a clone of it on a brand new card of the correct speed.
If freezing does not continue when removed, the SD card is faulty, or the card receptical is.
Try the cloned card. Does that freezing still occur?
...
Software: Check the logs/event viewer in O/S. for the times preceding the freezing. Go from there. beware that sometimes log entries are the later symptoms of an earlier problem caused.. so do go through the history a bit. and if possible compare days when the freezing not occur to days when it does. yes.. tedious. sorry.
Good luck friend. I wish you well.
iam interested as i have one too but won't boot
Greetings!
Was it working fine before installing IP version 3.46?
The .sig file that you have referred to is part of IP. Have you tried downgrading IP or re-installing IP?
Hi afshin980..
just to add to my previous reply. the best way to get a correct answer on the internet, is to propose a wrong answer.
human nature:
muth*********rs cant wait to show themselves as important and humiliate and stomp on others wrong answers.. so just post a wrong answer.. it'll invoke responses.
I hope i hoped ya.
You should check which CPU current your system use.
For E-2100 or E-2200 with DL20 , it need ECC only DDR4, so the label will be ED1,ED2 or EE1
For other higher model of DL Gen10 like DL380,360 , it request REG-ECC , as RD momery.
They are not same mode , couldn't use together or switch.
I get MSDN version leaste Sep win 2019 iso, and use IP mode to install it for my DL20 Gen10 , same way to put ISO in usb and load it from IP. no problem .
The IP GUI show any error when you select your ISO file check ?
When you use the Server Raid card ,you should install the OS through Intelligent Provisioning mode GUI, it will add the Raid and chipset driver to your ISO. I use the DL20 with 2019 server os install few days before, iso file from MSDN sept version.
DL20 Gen10 could direct installl nvme card to mainboard.
Also you could install other two M.2 NGFF SATA SSD in PCIE slot with a kits.
I plan to install them both.
I get new DL20 Gen10 Server with 4SFF model, I use it for my home lab with other DL320E G8 and DL20 Gen9.
I installl a 1TB NVME SSD card(micron 2200) direct to systemboard nvme slot. after I install it and boot up, system fan all run like crazy.
I switch Win server 2019 and Vmware 7 (HPE Version), all with install the Agentless Management app or vib . After I remove the NVME card, Fan1 and 2 low to 6% . fan 3 still 48%.
in OS mode, the NVME card are working fine, I run speed test in win os, it could save or load file , benchmark software test it to 29xx Mb/s read speed. Just the DL20 fan noise not good for human survival.
Once time this system only install win 2019 with 4sff , the fan 3 lower to 24% with agentless management app. I don't know why it doesn't drop down the speed after system boot up to OS now.
I get new DL20 Gen10 , from the quickspecs file , it already notes this model not support SR-IOV. But I don't see the in the DL20 Gen9 quickspecs file
Network Controller
HPE Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 361i network Adapter (Intel i350)
The HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 server offers the customer a dual-port NIC standard with the option to upgrade with a variety of
networking options.
Notes:
− ProLiant DL20 Gen10 with Intel Xeon E-2200, 9th Gen Core™ i3 and Pentium G processors comes with Intel i350
(LOM) on board.
− ProLiant DL20 Gen10 system do not support Networking SR-IOV.
I read the quickspecs ,some page say the option parts is seagate 240/480g 22110 ?
When installing seagate NVMe x4 M.2 400/480GB SSD module, the supporting ambient temperature should be under 30°C (86°F).
hi Torsten
thank you for your response but I don't have any problem with ilo health.
the problem is my server freeze in server boot and I have to reset the server to bring it back.
hi Robbie
take it easy man :))))
thank you so much for your response, I checked whatever you have been said so I changed the sd card and I didn't have any freezing until now. I will tell you the result.
Using MSI afterburner software. Fan is at 30/40% when on regular desktop work.
