Have you checked your system health? My r2312GL4GS had it's fans spin up once, weirdly, and it ended up being a fan that got partially unseated. I pulled it out (fan 2) while running, and reinserted, and fans all returned to normal. There was indication in the server health log.Whatever you do, don't update the firmware! I updated my r2312GL4GS and the fans are spinning at over 5K rpm. It was super quiet before I did the update.
Are you trying to update using the built in efi?Hey All,
I'm trying to update the bios on the S2600CP board, but everytime I do I get an error 1026. I've tried to google it, but I've not had any luck. I've tried different USB keys, different USB ports, different folder structures, no folder structures and I can't for the life of me to get the damn thing to update.
Please tell me I'm missing something stupid obvious.
Thanks!

EDIT - I've also tried various BIOS's and I get the same error.
Yup, no O/S installed as of yet.Are you trying to update using the built in efi?
That looks great. Lots of surface area on the pad. Short enough at 91 x 91 x 110MM.How about this? Dynatron R17 for $35 shipped.

Arctic is more for consumer grade. Dynatron is more for the server grade. The review on Amazon is not good but the sample was too few.That looks great. Lots of surface area on the pad. Short enough at 91 x 91 x 110MM.
I also found this option at $22: Arctic Freezer i11. Similarly sized fan as the R17 but slightly larger overall dimension at 90 x 108 x 130MM.
Thanks for that, I appreciate it! Unfortunately I get the same error when trying to update them individually. The error is "bmclibinitialized returned failed" which it appears somebody else had (different board though) --> Problem!Don't know if it will help, but inside the ReleaseNotes_BMC_01.25.9398.txt it suggests this:
The following update process must be followed to ensure a trouble free updating
of your baseboard. The order is important to minimize any issues for status
checking as different components are initialized.
1. BMC firmware
2. BIOS
3. Manageability Engine (ME) firmware
4. FRU/SDR package specific to the baseboard.
5. NIC EEPROM
perhaps try updating the BMC firmware first? that being said - I updated my board out of order (went straight for the BIOS too) and all worked out.
what Bios is currently installed on the S2600cp? perhaps you can find an intermediate bios update and do that first?
I literally just dumped all the contents of that file on a usb stick , and in EFI ran the updateBIOS.nsh file and it worked out (?)
I don't understand why they make firmware update so complicated. I've used Dell servers and it's the easiest thing to update using the lifecycle controller.The FRUSDR info doesn't need to be exact but at some point you need to make sure you put in the model of the motherboard correctly or it won't get correct fan curve values. I forgot which field corresponds to the motherboard model. I already went through this headache with an R2312 system after I updated the firmware. It has the motherboard S2600GZ4.
Can you describe step by step as to what you did? I may try that in my system to see if it will fix the issue with the fans.Thanks for that, I appreciate it!

Unfortunately they didn't post the fix... if they found one.

EDIT - Managed to fix by resetting the BMC bios by using Intel's SYSCFG utility. Once I reset that, the bios update (as well as other updates) went without a hitch.
Sure!Can you describe step by step as to what you did? I may try that in my system to see if it will fix the issue with the fans.
