20 Most Recent Dell PowerEdge 2900 (becwdk1_2) Dual Core Intel Xeon 5110, 4MB Cache, 1.60GHz, 1066MHz FSB 80GB/2000... Server Questions & Answers

Hello,

Not sure why this would happen other than changes being made to the CMOS unintentionally. I would try an PS/2 keyboard to see if it fairs better. If that does not work, reset the system from the main board. (jumpers and battery removal.)

Good Luck

Is it possible this is where the problem started? When updating the controller...

I was going to suggest opening event viewer either through Administrative Tools or bye typing eventvwr in the Run dialogue box. You will see one column on the left and one on the right. The one on the right shows errors and performed operations alike, when you click on an area in the left column.

You'll see an "Event" tab if you scroll to the right after clicking on "System" in the left. Any red Xs mean error. Double click or right click & select "Properties" to read the error. Highlight and type Ctrl+C to copy the text in the Description area and search Google for an answer, careful where you click, reading the address for the location of the site, looking primarily for the support.microsoft.com website for solutions.

Go to the keyboard & mouse manufacturer's website and download any new drivers. You might also find legitimate drivers on the Dell site for the Host controller, USB controller & mouse/keyboard. Make sure they're for your system/model/components. Reboot if asked and allow divers to install.

My vote...

You can then/also try uninstalling the Keyboard & mouse drivers and rebooting to safe mode, then uninstall the Controllers themselves. Reinstall on reboot to normal Windows and try using only certified drivers... or drivers that came with the mouse/keyboard or that you downloaded as instructed earlier.

Uninstalling and then reinstalling iIMHO is the best method rather than updating. Sometimes drivers overwrite and become corrupt.

Try to only stick with microsoft & Dell (your manufacturer) for driver updates. Programs that connect to sites and download new drivers for your system often install incorrect updates. Even if your system has a say, Toshiba AB-01234-YX, the driver for the component might not be written the exact same way Dell/the computer manufacturer has written it. You also do not know the programmer and cannot honestly say you can trust them when installing and asked "are you sure" if it is not digitally signed.

HTH.

Computer not recognizing the hard drive. Look in BIOS to see if hard drive is listed. Reload system disc/CD.

It could be a couple of things 1. the computer Cpu fan is not working or is clogged inspect it and clean or replace.2 The power supply could be bad

Namrata_stha, The I912 error is referring to the System Event Log is full of events and because of this is unable to log anymore. You must clear the log in order for the Server Management controller to log any more events. Now depending on the OS installed there are different ways to clear it. If Windows Server 2k8 you would use this command - wevtutil el ' foreach { wevtutil cl $_ } Where with Server 2003 you can go tot he Event viewer and clear it. Let me know if this helps.

Please be more specific. You haven't actually asked a question. What are you trying to do? What happens that you aren't expecting?

You will have to get into the controlled setup in order to find out what the problem is, or you can simply hit ctrl-D and do the Dell disk diagnostics which will take an hour or more, but will give you an idea of where to start. Logically, if it won't boot, then your RAID is probably broken. it can sometimes be repaired through either the RAID or controller setup menu, which you can see during boot. go here, for the manuals and documentation on how to do that: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-t105/manuals

what is your server model? in most cases you can use the operating disc to format the server drives

Go to start menu. click on 'control panel'. Select 'system and security". Then select 'system'. This should give you the info.

Best is to find a support or systems engineer on http://www.qual.ch if you are in Switzerland and for the UK you can find find a top Dell expert or systems specialist on http://qualifind.co.uk -- I just asked one (from Qualifind) and was informed you just need to install Openmanage and clear the logs from there, no need to down the server.

You can download the service manual from Dell`s website or either check some youtube tutorials if available.
